- Ian McNulty added a new meal Dinner at Lebanon Grill at Lebanon Grill
More on Decatur….superlative chicken shawarma - generously packed into a tortilla-thin flat bread, with pickle spears and lots of toum (the heavenly, fluffy garlic sauce), grilled on a press.

More on Decatur….superlative chicken shawarma - generously packed into a tortilla-thin flat bread, with pickle spears and lots of toum (the heavenly, fluffy garlic sauce), grilled on a press.
This one from @lebanongrillnola , which keeps a low profile, but opens to a dining room done like a Middle Eastern bazaar with a pizza oven for kafta pizzas (and a full bar).
It’s another find ahead of @defenddecatur this coming Sunday (May 24).
Defend Decatur is a self-guided day out to bring some business to a string of shops, restaurants and bars that really need it — those contending with the slow going infrastructure work that has blocked off their streets — but not their doors.
It should be a nice, very New Orleans sidewalk only block party.!
In some Decatur dining rooms and bars I’ve visited, a handful of customers could change the trajectory of the day - so don’t think a visit won’t make an impact.

New Orleans style hot tamales by the plate or pressed into a po-boy.
A hot sausage po-boy made extra, extra hot with chili and jalapenos.
Fried chicken that’s served lickety split quick but is still crisp and crunchy.
Boudin balls for a road snack and Bunny Bread and milk jugs for the neighbors.

What is this place? It’s @guillorysdeli , a one-time grocery long ago turned into an old school lunch counter well hidden on a residential stretch of Metairie — a suitably old-fashioned place to rediscover the increasingly rare regional variety of New Orleans style hot tamales.
It’s run by three brothers. Their dad’s hot tamale recipe was once a bar snack at a pool hall down the street. Then it made it to the deli menu and into a po-boy.

- Ian McNulty added a new meal Dinner at Zhang Bistro at Zhang Bistro
Ahead of @defenddecatur this Sunday , I’ve been on sort of a practice march version, bopping around bars and visiting restaurants afflicted by the fence.
I’ve turned up some new-to-me finds that should be on your list.
At @zhangbistro (1141 Decatur St.), where I swooned for the salt and pepper shrimp.

Ahead of @defenddecatur this Sunday , I’ve been on sort of a practice march version, bopping around bars and visiting restaurants afflicted by the fence.
I’ve turned up some new-to-me finds that should be on your list.
At @zhangbistro (1141 Decatur St.), where I swooned for the salt and pepper shrimp.
It’s a Chinese dish I’ve been chasing around town ever since the demise of Kim Son in Gretna in 2018 (where it was dubbed “salt baked”).
At Zhang, a light coating barely clings to the shrimp, with wok-charred onions and chiles piled over the top adding layers of flavor.
Another standout here is the dry red chile chicken (a.k.a. laziji), pulsing with lightly-numbing Szechuan peppercorns.

- Ian McNulty added a new meal Dinner at Dolfy's at Dolfy's
Razor clams! Prepared two ways at @dolfys_nola — with miso and a jamón XO sauce.
Get them while you can (and also watch @barsukeban for similar appearances, the only other place I see razors on any kind of regular).
More from Dolfy’s, the new Basque-style restaurant on Freret: chips with jamon and Ibérico pork skewers... More

During the dark days of the pandemic, his deliveries were a bright spot for many. The food was delicious; the bounce of his personality was uplifting.
Now the customers come to his door, and it’s a new one with a restaurant location in Marrero — 5100 Lapalco Blvd.
This counter service restaurant is centered on boiled seafood, and crawfish are the star item right now.
Mr. Shrimp’s own branded boil mix, dubbed “Throw It in the Pot,” brings a robust spice without being spicy hot. The spice accentuates the sweet-savory balance of the shellfish itself.
There’s a lot more on the menu now — here’s th crab claws, salmon bites and redfish royale over crabcakes.
And late hours too, open til midnight Friday and Saturday
Here’s a quick look, link in my bio has the full read

For oyster lovers, this Thursday is the night.
It’s the next @chefsbrigadenola OysterNight, with 90+ restaurants, bars, and taprooms taking part.
Each will have specialty oyster dishes for the night from an oysters Rockefeller pizza at @reginellispizzeria to many raw on the half shell.
Look for numerous pop-up raw bars, and a number places where you can sample different oysters from multiple off-bottom cultivated producers in Louisiana side by side.
Some are making a party out of it, like @bourbonhousenola (pictured, photo by @cgranger ) and @pascals.manale with a happy hour oyster pricing all night.
Spent shells go to the @crcl1988 recycling program to rebuild reefs and protect the coast.
Link in my bio has the preview and backstory and a link to a map of all the participants so you can chart out your own oyster crawl

Two-pound oysters?
That’s what I heard, but it’s the £2 oyster happy hour deal at @whitehorseoysterbar in Edinburgh and I love a dad joke.
My first Scottish oyster was this lovely Caledonian, richly creamy and tangy at the end, plus a few from Carlingford (Ireland) and Lendisfarne (England).

Not surprisingly there was a taste of Louisiana handy at the side with the @tabasco

Heart & head & great bread at @the_palmerston in Edinburgh

A former bank is now a den of modern Scottish cuisine.
For lunch: Grilled ox heart with lentils and fried pig head (bit of all the good meat made into crispy cakes).
Fantastic house bread and a champagne-esque @naughtonciderco Overture cider.
Later, up the hill to Old Town for subterranean pints at the Jolly Judge where the busking pipers were on break.
