- Ian McNulty added a new meal Dinner at Commander's Palace at Commander’s Palace
A @commanderspalace dessert storm was not in the forecast, but occurred anyway.
And how about dragging some table bread through the pepper jelly sauce on the second order of shrimp Henican?
Also, new on the cocktail list, that’s a La-Ti-Da, essentially a tequila martini with onion brine.
Sazerac for scale.

Visiting @bar1865nola , you arrive at a historic townhouse in downtown New Orleans that reveals an enchanting anachronism — a den of Old World elegance serving food and cocktails with a fresh, modern verve.
And it’s open only three nights a week.
The floor plan still resembles that of an old house, all steeped in a 40-watt glow against faded brickwork.
It’s as if the process of elegant decay was halted and the space refreshed, a mixture of patina and polish.
The ambience is so lush, it’s practically tactile.
The menu, from chef @thatcheflisa , is well-tuned for a self-guided tasting tour of small plates.
It’s a bit French, highly seasonal and creative and in sync with the cocktail focus at the bar.
Intensely flavorful and not heavy, these are dishes that glide in for smooth landings, paced out to have another round from the bar.
Here’s a look around, link in my bio has the story for the full read:

- Ian McNulty added a new meal Dinner at Gris-Gris at Gris-Gris
I remember 8 years ago when @grisgrisnola opened. Through July you can get a taste of that time (and it’s throwback prices) on the 2018 menu and then that’s it … Gris Gris will close for good.
Chef Eric Cook confirmed the news today, after a long fight to keep the business going.

I remember 8 years ago when @grisgrisnola opened. Through July you can get a taste of that time (and it’s throwback prices) on the 2018 menu and then that’s it … Gris Gris will close for good.
Chef Eric Cook confirmed the news today, after a long fight to keep the business going.
“I gave it everything, but we couldn’t get it back on the level,” Eric told me.
Pictured, a couple Gris Gris standards - the oyster BLT, the mom’s chicken and dumplings, the chicken and andouille gumbo.
You have until the end of July for another visit.
The location is distinctive, with an open kitchen and dining counter (from its predecessor, the ahead-of-its-tasting-menu-time Square Root), and upstairs tavern with wraparound balcony.
What could be here next?

- Ian McNulty added a new meal Dinner at Bourbon House at Bourbon House
New Orleans restaurants get creative in the summer to drum up business — it’s one of the ways that dining in the slow season can be a delight for locals. Often, it’s a time for familiar restaurants to try out new things.
But @bourbonhousenola is going the opposite direction by tapping into a rich history and seam of Creole flavor... More
New Orleans restaurants get creative in the summer to drum up business — it’s one of the ways that dining in the slow season can be a delight for locals. Often, it’s a time for familiar restaurants to try out new things.
But @bourbonhousenola is going the opposite direction by tapping into a rich history and seam of Creole flavor from its lost sister restaurant, Palace Cafe.
It’s a special lunch-only menu served through the summer.
The classic turtle soup
Andouille crusted Gulf fish with Crystal hot sauce beurre blanc
Shrimp Tchefuncte with mushroom in meuniere sauce
Pasta St. Charles with both the pasta and the fantastic, pecan-smoke andouille from @thecommissary_nola
And to end, a bananas Foster-meets-frozen bourbon milk punch dessert drink I’m calling the Brennan bushwhacker.
Chef Devan even retrieved an old saucepan from the Palace Cafe inventory he once cooked with there for his Bourbon House kitchen now.

A fish called three line grunt ? Very specifically young yellowtail? Japanese barracuda?
There’s always something I’ve never tried before on the lengthy specials board(s) around @nanamiuptown
And so, even when on one visit, all I intended to have was a simple bento box lunch I of course, overordered once again.

And so, even when on one visit, all I intended to have was a simple bento box lunch I of course, overordered once again.
With no flash, just great fish, chef Yuwa has created, but truly feels like a Japanese restaurant, not just another Restaurant serving sushi.
The ethos of the craft carry through the whole operation — including that onigiri bento box.
Seasonal sea eel, raw scallop scores into a flower of soft ruffles, uni and handrolls and always something new arriving for the next shipment.
He will do “dressed”
sushi with sauces and because this is on trend and in demand, but prefers not to.
My advice, put yourself in this sushi chef’s hands.

But, Hot & Soul will be serving the night’s dishes all week as specials next to their regular menu.
That’s the Panamanian ceviche, mussels with chorizo (the broth brought me all the way back to S. Peters at Julia) , oysters RioMar, black rice with squid and perfect shrimp and tres leches with all the leches.
Sherry cocktail from @ryan_iriarte to start, more wine to finish.

Yes, I am irresistibly drawn to a pun. Also, I find myself drawn to @pluckwines .
This wine bar has one of the deepest and best wine lists in New Orleans, and it’s also the most accessible thanks to the way Pluck operates.

Pluck is a wine bar built around a restaurant, with a full-service approach to both.
There is the level of pride and knowledge normally encountered at a winery’s own tasting room, from people presenting wine they had a hand in making.

Also pictured, tuna crudo with salsa macha, Regalis boquerones and garlic shrimp with manchego grit cake and much more on food and wine and Pluck in the full story

We came for one-night Thai specials I hadn’t seen anywhere else (chicken foot stew, anyone?).
We went back for American steakhouse-style ribeye and a tom yum pizza that gave the goodness of next-day Thai food leftovers new meaning back at home.

Link in my bio has the story on how YaYa’s went from a Thai kitchen in a Metairie dive bar to a full-fledged Kenner restaurant where the conflicting tastes of a Thai wife and her NOLA-born husband have created a one-of-a-kind menu.
Here’s a look at a few dishes, including that tasty pork rib soup, fried pork ribs with all that raw ginger, shrimp with an electrifying sauce, papaya salad with pork rind ....and those feet.

- Ian McNulty added a new meal Dinner at lufu_nola at Lufu Nola
A great lunch downtown at @lufu.nola
At least our news this week on the closure of the second LUFU in the French Quarter put the spotlight back on the Decatur Debacle — just days after @sbisanola closed.
But remember the original LUFU NOLA in the CBD remains open and served up a fantastic meal. Check out:

At least our news this week on the closure of the second LUFU in the French Quarter put the spotlight back on the Decatur Debacle — just days after @sbisanola closed.
But remember the original LUFU NOLA in the CBD remains open and served up a fantastic meal. Check out:
Pani puri, crisp shells that give big one-bite bursts of flavor filled with that mint water (perfect indian bar food...)
Crisp, golden masala dosa
Chicken biryani finished under a bread cap
And mango kulfi pop to end
See my stories for a quick video with my @nolanews colleague @hannahmlevitan
@defenddecatur and show the downtown LUFU some love too
