Holy Spanish mackerel crudo!

This wonder from the Gulf, so little seen at restaurants, is lushly flavorful, velvety in texture.

It was a happy hour special at @evviva.nola , and we lucked into a plate of it with dinner.

Pair that with perfectly cooked grilled shrimp, just charred at the edges of the shell, and anchovy toasts with both the sour marinated and salty anchovy varieties.

Affordable Italian wine (I love the falanghina).

And for dessert? Plastic cups of Malort on the rocks for four bucks just down the street at @peppspubnola

The first time I went to Maria Isabel, I ordered the tasting menu and vowed I would come back for the à la carte menu I’m glad I did! Laura Ozyilmaz puts her spin on many dishes including guacamole with caviar, asparagus salad, crab sandwich in a chile arbol sauce, chicken Milanesa, duck enchiladas with mole, and desserts that include a masa waffle taco with corn ice cream. I can’t wait to return again to try the rest of the menu! Less

That would be @flourmoonbagels and @moonrabbitdc , the innovative Vietnamese restaurant in DC.

It’s chef, Lafayette native Kevin Tien, is in town for North America’s 50 Best this week, along with a lot more culinary talent.

So Flour Moon baker Breanne Kostyk and he collaborated on these creations -

A crab Rangoon bialy with a rich bland of cheeses and hit of pepper jelly

A taro sesame bagel with ube and culantro butter (lushly tropical herby), assembled by me at home in this pic.

And one more - a green curry shrimp salad bagel sandwich with papaya, more of a lunch sandwich Then I was up for early this morning.

But these are delicious and a fun way to get a taste of the @theworlds50best spirit in town this week.

Try them Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (closed Wednesday) at Flour Moon

It started with a Sazerac for the elevator ride up to @hottinbar , and ended with Stompers in the @thepontchartrain ballroom.

With @theworlds50best in town , @jackrosenola and @coopermanning hosted the @sanpellegrino_us Presents 777: A New Orleans Feast, and it was lavish.

Seven chefs from around the country took different courses , each based on a Louisiana flavor , and Jack Rose co-founder @chefbrianlandry lit up the cafe brulot before @610stompers lit up the dance floor.

An amazing lineup of chefs joined Brian and the Jack Rose team: @alan.thau @baxterd @jonyao @r_ratino @aisha.ibrahim22 @sambeaird
