NOLA Sampler Platter

This is an amazing town for food. There's still a follow-up post that I need to write about Cochon, a restaurant that's similar in spirit to The Publican. But I've run into all sorts of great food down here, including Boucherie, which has some great modern American bistro food (definite write-up), Crabby Jack's, an uber-casual place with great 'po boys and cajun/creole food (definite write-up), and a number of small po' boy places (probably a combo write-up). There are two good sushi places I've been to, Ninja and Sake Cafe, and apparently a couple more worth checking out. And I wandered into Squeal, where I not only got comped a great plate of barbecue, I also got to chat up one of the owners, Patrick, who works for John Besh out here, and got some inside info on places to eat here.

This is 2 weeks in. I think that I can go out to 5 new places a week, and I wouldn't make a dent on the food scene. But that doesn't mean that I'll try. And hopefully, I'll be able to put up some posts that do the food justice. And one more thing. I'm going to try to remember to take photos... I've been remarkably Web 1.0 in my blog ventures. If I can include some pictures, maybe we can become a little more Web 1.5... right in time for everyone else to go Web 3.0, whatever that means.
