Guess that Dish / Restaurant - September Edition

Welcome back friends!

The weather is changing & eating outside has come back into style. I am so glad the summer of 2012 in NOLA is over and fall is here. So, with that in mind, please take a look at the photos and descriptions below. Can you guess that dish or restaurant?

Clues for Photo #1: This is just one of the reasons I have been having chest-pains as of recent. This classic New Orleans spot is right off the avenue. The kicker, Scott Kushner eats here for free until the end of time.

Clues for Photo #2: This New Orleans newcomer is one of the hottest spots on Magazine Street. Great Value! Very diverse menu with something on it for everyone.

Clues for Photo #3: This sandwich was a true monster as you can see. SO GOOD! I had never heard of this bywater restaurant. It is located in an amazing historic building.

That should be enough to feast your eyes on for now. Can you guess any of those spots or dishes? Bring it on!

ValueMontreal

Let me open by saying that bachelor parties are not good value. Oh boy!

After the lovely Hurricane Isaac, I had the had the distinct pleasure of visiting the great city of Montreal for an 8 man bachelor party.

I wouldn'y say Montreal is the greatest food destination, but the food is no doubt adequate. 90% of people in Montreal speak English which clearly helped the bachelors. The two main local food items are the smoked meat (corned beef) & Poutine (cheese curd with gravy fries). Both are pretty amazing! Photo of each below:

The current exchange rate is about 1:1, but all the food is $2-4 more expensive per item which can easily add up over a long weekend. I would not give Montreal or a bachelor party the thumbs up for value, but maybe it can be my splurge of the week!

Above is a photo of the bathroom @ Restaurant l'avenue which is in a hot area of the downtown. This place keeps the techno music booming at all times. Also, expect a line at this temple eggs benedict. Overall very cool - different & tasty. This bathroom was super neat. There was orange goo coming out of some PVC piping and the nature channel was playing on repeat in the background.

I am now back in the big easy: My trash is till waiting to be picked up & my garden was ravaged! Just another week in the 504.
