Elizabeth’s Restaurant 601 Gallier St New Orleans, LA 70117 I have been to New Orleans many times now, and have been meaning to visit Elizabeth’s Restaurant for years. Years, I tell you! It’s located in the Bywater district which is geographically close to the French Quarter, and yet...

It all started at the bar. Isn’t that how all good stories start? I’d arrived at the neighbourhood watering hole with Lacy and Manda after they decided to excuse themselves from having to go downtown with friends. Their excuse came in the form of...

Yo Mama’s Bar & Grill 727 St Peter St New Orleans, LA 70116 Well, it happened. I finally used the expression “I think that was the best burger I’ve ever eaten”. Generally, eating burgers is not a priority on people’s “must consume” lists while in New...

Frank 407 Colorado St Austin, TX 78701 With a motto of “Hot Dogs, Cold Beer”, it would be pretty difficult to dislike an establishment such as Frank. Their downtown location is a veritable wiener emporium, with specialty housemade sausages like The Jackalope, a combination of antelope,...
