- Ian McNulty added a new meal Dinner at LUFU NOLA FQ at Lufu Nola
They opened the second LUFU in the French Quarter last July. A month later Decatur Street roadwork began, and it hasn’t let up since.

They opened the second LUFU in the French Quarter last July. A month later Decatur Street roadwork began, and it hasn’t let up since.
The original @lufu.nola remains open, serving this beautiful regional Indian food.
But the Decatur Street restaurant is the second to close in a week after the news from historic Cafe Sbisa , which served its last brunch on Sunday for the same reason.
And the chefs are now looking for opportunities to again open a second location .

This should all be a contradiction in terms.
A tasting menu is the trust fall of fine dining and can carry a bill bigger than a car payment.
But at @ralphsonthepark , the annual summer deal of 3 apps and a glass of wine will run you $39.

A tasting menu is the trust fall of fine dining and can carry a bill bigger than a car payment.
But at @ralphsonthepark , the annual summer deal of 3 apps and a glass of wine will run you $39.
You pick between 15 dishes. These are not “bites,”but full-fledged dishes, some approaching entree size.
A few carry a $3 up charge. But any way you cut it’s a great deal.
Two of us picked a total of six dishes, split everything and of course had cocktails before, and another glass of wine anyway.
It still ended up being a screaming value for the quality and what amounted to a dazzling culinary romp that showed a chef’s voice, that being Christopher Vazquez, who is really ramping up the idea of modern Creole here.
That’s just what a tasting menu should be — DIY or not.

There is omakase all over these days. But then, more quietly, there’s the neighborhood sushi joint.
Often small and unassuming, easy to overlook they are valued by regulars to the point of dependency.
The original Good Time was the epitome of this in Gentilly.

There is omakase all over these days. But then, more quietly, there’s the neighborhood sushi joint.
Often small and unassuming, easy to overlook they are valued by regulars to the point of dependency.
The original Good Time was the epitome of this in Gentilly.
Now it’s finally back after a long hiatus, and much bigger, now with hibachi tables for the full show — it’s like dinner theater at times — and bar service to come.
Here’s a look around. Link in my bio has the story

This was wonderful … Thursday night movies on the outdoor big screen and ceviche specials with funky Spanish cider and movie theater-salty popcorn.

@broadsidenola is doing free movies on Thursdays this month — Dazed and Confused is this week — and @nikkeiizakaya is doing ceviche specials.
And here’s a tavern where the chef can show you the fish too.

New Orleans chefs were paired up with sailors serving on their nations’ tall ships.
I was part of a panel of judges (military and civilian) with the tall task of picking the best.
Chef Wiley of @delacroixrestaurant and culinary specialist Cecilia of @uscg vessel @barqueeagle worked together on those snapper colors with crawfish butter for the win.
Second place: Chef @chefdeelavigne worked with another Coast Guard specialist on “gumbo salad” and it was tasty surprise
Third place: chef Aom of @goodcatchnola worked with a chef from Peru’s vessel for a ceviche / Thai soup pairing
Fantastic day in New Orleans all around

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

- Ian McNulty added a new meal Dinner at Evviva Restaurant at Evviva
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.

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

This was a fun first trial run. The next edition is Wednesday, May 27, and they’re planning to do it the last Wednesday of each month through the summer and maybe beyond.
Me? I’m hoping they make it weekly.

It gives two different approaches.
One room is called the Oyster Bar, a walk-in proposition for raw oysters, cocktails and snacks.
The main act is in the Club Room, a 22-seat, reservation-only dining space serving a chef’s tasting menu exclusively, with multiple courses and plenty of surprises all changing around the local catch.
“We have a lot more to say about what you can do with Gulf seafood,” co-chef Brenna Sanders told me.
