One thing I’ve begun to notice while eating out is the different art hanging in restaurants.  So, I thought I would post some of the more interesting ones that I come across…

This piece is from a local Mexican restaurant – Casa Azteca.

Nothing says “welcome to our establishment” than this hanging in the waiting area:

All the same, the food here is excellent and their staff is superb!

I can now say that I’ve tasted Krystal – on Bourbon Street, no less. (Apologies to Chefs Prudhomme, Flay, Lagasse, Palladin, Brill, etc.)

…and yes, I did partake of the standard NOLA/Creole cuisine: Crawfish étouffée, Jambalaya, Red Beans and Rice, Shrimp Creole, Gumbo, Beignets, Bread pudding, etc.!

Sign Placement?

While I totally agree with and support the message on this sign, the placement does seem odd…

I went to the window to look outside and saw this dude peeping in. Move along, nothing to see here…

Ferdi, OH MY!

Tonight’s dinner: The Ferdi Special at Mother’s Restaurant in NOLA.

THE CONTENTS: Mother’s best baked ham, roast beef, debris*, and gravy (plus slaw, mustard, pickles, & change.)

I went with the 2/3 version – no fries, just the Ferdi – and ate most of it.

Oh my, indeed.

We visited the “Happiest Place on Earth” last weekend.

We didn’t see any of these characters:
