Food Scene
The New Orleans standard if you get a good waiter. Of course you can pick your waiter. Request John or Imre -- and a table in the main dining room. Do not eat upstairs. Off-menu treat: fried chicken

So nice here. Take a table in the bar and find Chris, the chef-owner. Pay respects to Dr. Brobson Lutz, noted bon vivant and former city health director. He's a regular. Weird specialty: Cheeseburger

Kappa Horn, one of my best friends, runs this plucky neighborhood joint. People have been known to kill for a plate of her crawfish etouffee (just kidding, Kappa!). Everything on the menu is good.

They say Pirate Lafitte and Andrew Jackson drank here. Favored by out-of-town oil men. Can be wild during Christmas season, as every law firm holiday party seems to terminate at the Absinthe.

Some say Central Grocery has the best muffalettas. Poppycock. Rumored Mob ties (Frank's was bugged during Fed-run "Operation Hard Crust" investigation) seal this restaurant's street cred

I once saw Mick and Keith play impromptu at this place. Kermit Ruffins may have his own place now but Vaughn's still rocks on Thursdays. You'll need to take a cab to this one
