I endorse Camellia Grill, though the lines are terribly long on the weekends. Excellent burgers. Long lines on the weekend, though. It's right on the streetcar line, so you can ride down, gawk at the mansions on St. Charles, see how long the line is and either eat there or go acrois the street to the Louisiana Pizza Kitchen (where you can get alligator sausage pizza, among other things) if the lines at CG are too long.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok, had a dream our plane crashed in Texas and half the people in NOLA came to see us and we had the F2F there.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I was in the half that stayed in NOLA, right?

Our wings are not tired
I'm looking forward to Red Beans and Rice. Yum.
Keeping my fingers crossed I'll be able to get in on Thursday.

I need a list of "must ingest" food items for New Orleans.
Lobster ravioli at Bacco
shrimp remoulade at most places, but I like it best over fried green tomatoes at Uglesich's. I think Antoine's has a nice counter bar where you can get some for a super tasty snack.
Italian Creole at Irene's. If you're lucky they'll have palmetto (the fish) on the menu
Bananas Foster at Brennan's
Chocolate Molten Cup at Mr. B's Bistro
Anything at Peristyle
Fried catfish with an Abita Turbodog at Praline Connection (also good for pralines, of course)
If you like shrimp at all - get it in New Orleans. It's incredibly fresh and flavorful.

Can you believe that neither of my parents eats shrimp at all? (Though for Dad it may be a texture/choking factor, I remember him liking it when I was little).
I suppose it's my familial duty to make up for the lack and eat their shares too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I used to love shrimp. Now it tastes bland to me. Meanwhile, I've acquired a taste for all sorts of other sea beasties, so I rarely get shrimp.
I'll have to try some NO shrimp while I'm there.

Shrimp remoulade is cooked then served cold with the remoulade sauce (which is mustard based and a bit spicy). It's a great way to get pure prawn deliciousness. So yum. And it goes well with Abita beer or champagne or cocktails. As do most foods in NOLA.

Excellent shrimp. Check.
(when I was a kid I lived on a island where shrimping was the second biggest industry. when you went to the docks to buy the suckers they were still moving their little antennae. mmmmm)
