The wind and temperature in New Orleans (NOLO) are bone chilling as our lack of vacation weather bad luck continues; then again the polar express is descending upon all of North America. There's only one thing to do under such circumstances in NOLO; eat, dine, stuff thy face, gorge thyself on incredible food!
Our hotel is located one block from the French Quarter. A short three block walk across Canal St. on the way to Acme Oyster House, we find an alternative from the wind and further walking for Carol's cetaceous foot; the Redfish Grill. It's a fine beginning to a week of NOLO gluttony. Warm soup and a gumbo are a great appetizer.
We have two versions of the New Orleans Po Boy for lunch. CJ has a fried oyster with a blue cheese dressing and Carol a shrimp. Both are delicious.
Our dinner program begins at the top and can only go downhill from here. We've not been to Susan Spicer's
Bayona in many years. Carol orders a quail salad as something lite before her main. Does this look like light or a full meal?
The sweetbreads are magnificent and we have two of the more intriguing cocktails of all time.
