[JackBeck]

9. Missed you by a week.

I'm requesting some of this:

[BOSSHOG]

33. Hey Jack

Love to help but we are having problems shipping from Louisiana to the United States. You'll just have to come back. And stay.

[JackBeck]

61. We should be back within the next six months.

I'll let you know when we're there for our follow-up.

[mtnester]

10. I know it is not the quarter, but can you go to Mothers and get me a debris

samwich?

[BOSSHOG]

26. Close enough, lets do it!

Love Mother's

[mtnester]

59. So do I...last time in (right before Katrina) we stayed at a great boutique hotel

on St Charels...I do not think it is in operation any more because of Katrina...it was on the north side of the street and the St Carles streetcar run stopped right outside the hotel. Every morning, we left that hotel, took a right and headed toward Poydras for a Mothers breakfast...and since it was convenient, we took snacks and quick bites like debris samwiches out of there regularly. There is a great memory I have of grits and my hubby (I WARNED him not to piss those ladies off with his unreasonable dislike of grits)

We need to get back to your city Boss.

[EstimatedProphet]

58. Oh yeah buddy!

[KitchenWitch]

11. I will take a couple of Po' Boys and a dozen beignets!

:D

[BOSSHOG]

34. Your Witch is My Command Dear

[Fox Mulder]

12. The French Quarter is one of the most haunted locations in America.

You should do some investigating. :)

[MorningGlow]

20. You said it!

I have had some interesting times (in that regard) in the Quarter!

[Ellen Forradalom]

13. I'll take a muffeletta, a box of beignet mix, some chicory coffee

and the complete works of Kate Chopin.

[BOSSHOG]

22. You know how to shop My Dear - Central Grocery or Franks??

[Ellen Forradalom]

43. Your choice.

:-)

[joeybee12]

14. Bastard! n/t

[BOSSHOG]

35. C'mon down Joey

I know you can just taste that remoulade sauce dripping off whatever entree you choose.

[joeybee12]

65. I should...I haven't been since 2004...had bought tickets for

Halloweeen 2005...but you know how that went!!!

[mak3cats]

15. Three dozen raw oysters and a box of pralines, please...

I lived in New Orleans from 1971 to 1986, and still dream about the food constantly...

[BOSSHOG]

23. Cmon back My Dear

There's a corner table just waiting for you.

[CreekDog]

16. Debris sandwich at Mothers (on Canal St.)

Man was that good.

Oh and by the way, when you are drunk, please remember that $6 for 2 beers is NOT a good deal. I didn't quite catch that the first time.

[BOSSHOG]

30. Debris for Creek Dog - Check

luv ya man. three bucks for a 36 ounce budweiser at the tropical isle between noon and seven (happy hour) makes me happy. C'mon on down.

[KamaAina]

17. Hey, you guys are pretty good

you've covered almost everything.

A book from the Faulkner House bookstore, in the parlor of the house where he lived and wrote for a couple of years before he went back to Mississippi; a bottle of New Orleans Amber rum, preferably from the place on Chartres that doubles as a makeshift bar after dark; and, of all things, a burger. Yes, in the Quarter, even the humble burger achieves transcendence, either at Port of Call on (the Quarter side of) Esplanade, or (even more fun) at Yo' Mama's on St. Peter. Give Erica my undying love :loveya: , but make sure she tells the S.O.B. not to put mayo on the bun this time...

[BOSSHOG]

25. Lordy KamaAina I love you

Faulkner's bookstore is one of the few shrines in my life. And yes, imagine a burger cuisine in NOLA.

[BOSSHOG]

60. Hey Kama

Coops on Decatur, across from Margaritaville also makes a killer burger.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

18. Bring me some king cake and TurboDog!.........

s'il vous plait?

[MorningGlow]

19. Dude...

I ORDER you to take me with you! Puh-LEEZE!!! Waaahhh...

Aside from the whiny-hiney I am, please to pick me up a mess o' crawfish and some creme brulee from the Alpine, some beignet and cafe au lait, a nicely chilled glass of chardonnay from that little bar in Pirates Alley, and to top it all off, whatever it is they serve in those big green alien souvenir glasses. Never had one, but they certainly seem to be making the people tottering around, slurping them, quite happy. :shrug:

[BOSSHOG]

28. Oh Morning Glory

It would be my pleasure. Blackened Shrimp Poboy from the Alpine is one of my life's pleasures, Lordy. The next time your down, treat yourself to a Handgrenade from the Tropical Isle. A green drink that will certainly make you totter. And crawfish are in season.

And I must say, I am truly enamored when a woman orders me to do something.

[MorningGlow]

55. Well dang

I should've ordered one meeeeeellion dollars! :D

Enjoy yourself, Boss, and think of me if you pass the Alpine or meander down Pirates Alley! :hi:

[SacredCow]

21. I'm going, too...

but not until after work. Will probably pull up to the B&B at 7 or so.

:hi:

On edit: Don't worry- what happens in N'Awlins stays in N'Awlins! If I see you acting a fool, I'll be sure to aim the camera in another direction!

[BOSSHOG]

37. Thanks SC

I think I'm about ten years beyond acting the fool. I'll be the stately gentleman taking a snapshot of society, and ogling nubile young ladies laboring for beads. Love ya neighbor.

[SacredCow]

39. Well, if I pass by T. I. I'll look for ya...

I don't have any concrete plans, as any truly great trip to NOLA should be! Maybe brunch at Petunia's, or maybe I'll sleep in!

Not staying in the quarter this time around- I'll be over on Esplanade.

[BOSSHOG]

42. "Brunch at Petunias"

is there a greater pleasure on earth?

[SacredCow]

45. Prolly not....

Grits and Grillades for me...

[SoxFan]

24. Ersta po boy, dressed, from Johnny's

[BOSSHOG]

31. Ya killing Me Blue Dog

Love me some Johnny's Ersters (fried, stout)

[SoxFan]

32. Opelousas Market

used to have a nifty roast beef po boy. It was a little corner market on Algiers Point. Not sure if it survived Katrina.

[BOSSHOG]

41. Thanks My Friend

I don't get to the westbank much but I will make it a point to track it down. Your recommendation is greatly valued. My favorite catfish spot in Slidell was wiped out by Katrina. It was right on the Lake, they reopened inland in a stripmall near a mall. Lordy the evil power of a hurricane.

[Thirtieschild]

27. Is Jean LaFitte's Blacksmith Shop still there?

I'm talking eons ago, may not be the name of it, but that's where it was, at the bottom end of Bourbon Street. We used to sit there and look out at the street through gaps in the bricks. Ah, to be that young again. And live in New Orleans. We were young enough that we could live without air conditioning.

[BOSSHOG]

29. Sure is My Friend

a wonderful little bar complete with 200+ years of history attached.

[x-g.o.p.er]

36. A beignet at Cafe DuMond,

followed by several Hurricanes.

And beads.

[BOSSHOG]

38. You are a neighbor

after my own heart ... my friend. However I will stick to draft beer. Lordy those beignets are oh so awesome. And I gotta have me some "new" beads each trip.

[Bennyboy]

40. TURBO DOG!

Okay maybe not! I'll take a hamburger and a Monsoon from Port Of Call though...Or a muffaletta from Central Grcery!

[BOSSHOG]

44. Oh Benny

you are obviously a conosiuier (you know the word) of fine food .. A burger from Port a call, a Muff from Central Grocery. You sir are refined .. and worthy of a trip to the quarter. Come on down my friend, the grill is always hot.

[Bennyboy]

51. Hopefully for Fest, Boss...

Even though ti is looking unliklier as time goes on......Been there many time for Fest but not since katrina. I am dying....

[likesmountains 52]

46. crab cakes please..

[BOSSHOG]

47. Your wish is my command My Dear

Oh I do love crab cakes as well.

[coffeenap]

48. Blue Dog painting imitation, please!

Lost ours in a house fire, darn it. Have great time!

[BOSSHOG]

49. Please accept my condolences

May I suggest you plan a trip down to replace your loss. Corner of Royal and Orleans.

Please believe me I do not work for the NOLA chamber of commerce, I just love the place.

[triguy46]

52. Cafe du Monde for beignets and chicory coffee. Will cure the hangover.

[Gormy Cuss]

53. Muffaletta for me please,

and some good gumbo.

[Redstone]

54. Muffaletta from Central Grocery, if you don't mind. And some debris.

Redstone

[BOSSHOG]

62. Hey Redstone

If you are ever down this way try Frank's Muffaletta's two doors down from Central Grocery. We think they are a tad better then Central's, but both are awesome.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

57. How about some

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo along with some etouffee

[BOSSHOG]

63. Outstanding choice

I feel like singing.

[Lasher]

66. Jazz brunch at the Court of Two Sisters, s'il vous plaît.

http://www.courtoftwosisters.com/

[GOPisEvil]

67. I've got a list

Let's start with lunch, since waking up early in New Orleans means noon.

Shrimp po'boy, dressed. Cold Abita Purple Haze.
Dinner at Galatoire's.
Party.
Late night at Cafe du Monde.
And, what the hell, brunch at Brennan's tomorrow.


Athough - I'd take just the po'boy and Abita from Acme. :9

[Bennyboy]

68. Why in the hell are you posting on DU...

insted of grabbing an Abita or a Monsoon? Watching a band at Lousiana Music factory? having a Muffaletta or Beignet?

[BOSSHOG]

69. Been down and back

on Friday. And I got to go back tomorrow afternoon to pick my wife up at the airport. Only the price of gas been bad. Gonna get a Muff tomorrow at Frank's. Had a Shrimp Platter on Toulouse yesterday.
