I know there was historically a huge Irish population in New Orleans, but I don't have any idea what to make of "Irish/Cajun" cuisine.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

As an Irish-American person living in New Orleans, neither to I. However, an actual Irish restaurant/gastropub just opened up on St. Charles, and it is pretty tasty. Except for the one time. They do a pub curry which is DELISH.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Irish/Creole would make a bit more sense than Irish/Cajun, I think.

I'm also waiting to hear back from the publicist -- I'm assuming meet-ups after the event are fine, as long as I'm up the next morning to go wherever we need to go, but I need to get the final go ahead, considering I haven't done this before. I'm also not sure how much the other authors are going to want to hang out, so.
Now to wait for the publicist to reply. She's not really awesome about that.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
If you want Chicago's brand of Cajun/Creole, Heaven on Seven is around the corner from the bookstore in Naperville. I haven't had their brunch but I've heard great things about it. I know their dinners are good.

If folks are really interested in Cajun/Creole food, I suggest coming down for a visit to New Orleans. What? I'm just sayin'!

As someone who has eaten at Celtic Bayou, I will say the food is tasty. The concept of the place is kind of nutty, but the food is great.

heh ... a sign in a local wine shop advertised Gaddafi cabernet - a nutty flavor with curiously disappering aftertaste.

I'm picturing us getting Amy in trouble for breaking curfew. If the handlers question you then say, "it's okay, I'll be with Buffistas."

"it's okay, I'll be with Buffistas."
And yet, if they knew us I imagine that would be less than reassuring ...
