NOLA Food Finds

Usually reserved for Sunday, the food summary is coming to you in a special holiday edition.  As mentioned earlier, we went to Daisy Duke's for dinner.  Actually, we decided to do breakfast for dinner.  We got there and the line was a block out.  Must be a good place for food.  It was too hot and humid to stand there and wait so we got takeout and headed back to the hotel for the cool and comfort of our room.

So I decided to go for the gold and get the alligator sausage omelet.  They serve it with hash browns and a biscuit.  I think they serve everything with hash browns and a biscuit.  Well, the hash browns were forgettable and left most of them but a damn fine biscuit.  The omelet was really good.  A bit on the spicy side, but really hit the spot.  While I both opted for lots of water, Damon loves his root beer.  We both got a water bottle to use for the trip, a must have in this city.

Here is Damon showing off his "breakfast" of 4 scrambled eggs with bacon, hash browns and a biscuit.  He went for the mild side as he was still recovering from his Bourbon Street experience.  I was a tad shocked that when he went to get the soda, he also got a bag of cheese puffs.  They are disgusting, but hey, he likes them and he is on vacation too.

I decided to snag this picture just because this T-shirt makes me laugh.  Indeed, Trix are for kids and it did not fail to get the attention of many people.  A lot of them wanted their picture taken with him.  It was quite cute.

Dinner last night was on the lighter side and quite tasty.  We ate here at the hotel and below is the appetizer which was a seafood gratin.  Quite tasty.  For dinner I opted for a blue crab salad with tomatoes, cucumber and mozzarella with a balsamic vinaigrette.  Damon opted for a pizza which was bbq sauce with chicken and cheese.  In my opinion a tad on the small side, but it was good per Damon.  So there you go, a food summary.

For our last night in New Orleans and we talked it over and decided to go for Brother's and I munched on chicken livers that were AMAZING and also tried a chicken thigh.  Damon went for a chicken breast and some chicken fingers.  We ate some of their meat pies.  All of it is a tad spicy.  But in the end it was a mighty fine finale to our food experience in the city.  Avoided a lot of fancy and overly expensive places.  Water is my best friend on this trip and so goes another day in The Big Easy.
