Our New Orleans food adventures 5/27/13

We kicked off the week with a food truck rally in Broadmoor.

NOLA Pie Guy (@NOLApieguy on Twitter) made this terrific chocolate pie with homemade whip cream. We was selling out fast, so we ate this as an appetizer. #gooddecision

Our meal from Beignet Roule …

We had a mini blogger meetup with @MissMalaprop and @Oh_Ashe at Sukho Thai on Magazine. Good lunch specials.

Quick, workday lunch from the Whole Foods salad bar.

We went to the Southern Girls Blog Community meetup Saturday at Grand Isle restaurant. Of course, food was involved.

We had family and friends in town for the long weekend. We set a personal record Saturday for restaurants visited in one afternoon – Hansen’s, Drago’s, Tropical Isle, Pat O’Brien’s, Cafe Du Monde, Company Burger and Creole Creamery.

We had to stroll down Bourbon with a classic drink.

Why stop at one classic drink? We stopped in Pat O’Brien’s for another.

And then we needed to soak up the alcohol before finding real food for dinner.

Dinner at Company Burger. By the way, we tried to get dinner at Jacques-Imo’s but it was a two-hour wait at 9 p.m. Saturday. We decided to pass. However, we saw Krysten Ritter from TV show, ” Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23,” at the restaurant.

And our last restaurant of the day – Creole Creamery. First time we’d had the shop’s peanut butter and jelly donut ice cream.

For breakfast, we can’t get enough of La Boulangerie. This may be the best cheesecake we’ve eaten.

We made the most of the breeze Sunday and sat outside on St. James’ patio. The sandwich & mac-n-cheese were as good as they looked.

We read about Frank’s in New Orleans CityBusiness and wanted to check it out. We sat on the balcony and cringed every time it shuddered from people walking on it. That make anyone else nervous? The restaurant claims to have the original muffuletta/muffaletta (so does Central Grocery). Frank’s was good, but we’re still fans of Central Grocery’s version.
