Everyone loves to be the first in most anything, but restaurants especially here in New Orleans. Some of the restaurants are weeks old- others months. All types of foodies from fine dining to mom and pop shops - but never buffets, cafeterias or chains. Some restaurants will offer a fixed price for a chef's selected course and/or dine as you will from your choice - the latter is great for the light eater or budget concerned. We predominantly dine on Wednesday evenings @ 6:30pm and offer the most …

Banquets & Books is for people who are passionate about food and reading and who enthusiastically discuss books--fiction and non--about all aspects of food, cooking and eating. The plan is to meet every six weeks or so at my house. Each time, we’ll read and discuss a book on any and all topics related to food.

To provide details and/or a knowledgeable companion from a local restaurant reviewer. So many restaurants - so little time! Attention tourists and transplants!

People have been creating new recipes and reusing old ones for years in this city. I know when my father used to own both a bakery and a pizza place how much I liked to share my family cuisine with others. I want to create a place for people that enjo …
