New Orleans Po Boy Festival

We took the streetcar down to Oak St...



...and followed the Parkway signs...



...to where the bread was stacked a mile deep...



...ordered roast beef po boys with Zapp's Crawtaters (only $2!) and Blue Moon beers...



...then followed the Second Line band...



...with it's legions of Leidenheimer Bread second liners...



...proudly brandishing our own loaves of New Orleans finest po boy bread...



...down the street...



...dancing all the way...



...trying to work off that po boy...



...til the fragrance was heavy in the air...



...and the target was in sight...



...Drago's charbroiled oysters with garlic, butter, parmesan and herbs over an open fire...



...heaven!...



...on the halfshell...



...believe it or not, this is a look of bliss...



...followed by apprehension...



...and then resignation...



...finally a walk through the cool, damp air...



...back to the streetcar and home. The end.

Epic Food Blog Fail

I suck at this. Since my last post... eh, 3 months ago?... I have been to Houston, where I had a great Thai curry, Biloxi, where I attended the Gumbo Cook Off and Berlin, Germany where I had the most exceptional meals. I'm not kidding. Exceptional. Life changing bouillabaisse at KaDeWe, apple strudel and hot chocolate poured straight over dense whipped cream at Cafe Einstein, the best Argentine steak of my life at Grill Royale, the most luxurious lunch experience ever at Facil and my first döner kebab. Back in New Orleans, I have enjoyed wonderful, wonderful meals at Lilette, The Green Goddess and 9 Roses in the past few weeks.

Have I documented any of these meals? No. Not a one. I took the random photo here and there, but for the most part, I have severely neglected my duties.

I resolve to do better.
