Mother's Restaurant New Orleans

So we watch Man vs. Food and he recommended Mother's restaurant in New Orleans for their Ferdi sandwich, with debris (debris is just the drippings off of the roast beef).  He said that you have to try it when you go.  Yeah we were underwhelmed by the sandwich.  It was roast beef, turkey, cabbage, mustard, and debris.  It was ok, but nothing I would tell anyone they must try.  Now the etouffee on the other hand, that was delicious!  I know what I will be getting next time!

Commander's Palace Brunch

One of our other favorite restaurants in New Orleans is Commander's Palace, we always try and go for the Saturday Jazz Brunch.  We were not disappointed!

I started off with the Oyster & Absinthe “Dome” - Plump P&J oysters poached with bacon, artichokes, Absinthe and a splash of double cream ~ Presented under a flaky pastry shell

Greg had the Gumbo du Jour

 

My entree was shrimp and cheesy grits, so delicious!

We all had different desserts; bread pudding, chocolate mouse, cheesecake, and my favorite, the pumpkin bread pudding.

I'm Back!

Sorry for the hiatus, my computer was in the shop for a week. Windows had some internal error and I had to have the computer restored, no fun!  But this means I will have lots of pics for you to enjoy!  We went to New Orleans for Halloween, ate way too much!  The first place we go to when we go to town is Acme Oyster House.  There is always a line but its worth the wait!  Here is our appetizers, gravy and cheese fries and roasted oysters!  yum!

Blood Sausage in New Orleans

We went to New Orleans for the Voodoo Music festival and decided to try one of John Besh's restaurants while we were there.  I'm always up for trying new things, but the thought of the blood sausage kind of made me a little squeamish.  I went ahead and ordered it, and to my surprise I LOVED it.  I would definitely recommend it!
