New Orleans Food Plans

I'm not sure what it was called. It was near Laura Plantation. Based on a cursory search on Tripadvisor it may have been Spuddy's Cajun Foods. We had home made sausage and white bean jambalaya. Wherever it was, it was very good.

I've been meaning to close the loop on our trip for some time. We had some good restaurant experiences as well as some misses that i'd like to share.

We ate as follows (and roughly in order)

Breakfast:
Café Du Monde (twice)
Camellia Grill

Lunch:
Cassamento's
Parkway Tavern
(1 lunch out in Plantation country at a hole-in-the wall, don't remember the name, but it was fantastic)
Commander's Palace

Dinner:
Mr. B's
Mandina's
Jacque Imos
Central Grocery

Of that list, I think our favorites by far were (roughly in order), Parkway Tavern (excellent Roast Beef and Gravy po'boy), Commander's Palace, Central Grocery (that was one amazing sandwich), Cafe du Monde (obviously), Camellia Grill (touristy, but fun), and Jacque Imos (good but not better than that). Commander's Palace probably had the best cuisine of any of the places we ate, but then we weren't looking for haute cuisine during our trip.

Our misses were Mandinas and, at least for my wife, Mr. B's. She did not enjoy her food there at all, though we both agreed that the service was excellent. I had the barbecue shrimp, and though I thought they were good, I think the barbecue shrimp I had at Commander's Palace later in the week were better. There was nothing wrong with Mandinas, but nothing special about it either. We did not have Po'boys, so perhaps that was the issue.

Cassamentos was fine; the oysters were good. But, the experience was not as memorable as I was hoping it would be. I probably wouldn't return.

Overall, we had a good food trip, and I'm looking forward to returning to trying some of the other resaturants I've learned about and returning, at the very least, to Parkway Tavern and Commander's Palace.

Thanks again for all of your help.

My wife and I will be visiting New Orleans starting Friday and staying through Tuesday evening. In general, we prefer hole-in-the-walls with excellent food over first class establishments (though we're obviously making a couple of exceptions for this trip). Our proposed food itinerary is below. Any places on the list you in the know would skip or that we're absolutely missing given the above?

Breakfast:
Mothers
Café Du Monde
Mandina's on Canal Street
maybe Camellia Grill

Lunch:
Commander's Palace
Felix's in the French Quarter or Acme Oyster House
Johnny's
(we're planning to be out of New Orleans for one lunch)

Dinner:
Jacque Imos
Mr. B's in the French Quarter
Coop's Place
Central Grocery on Decatur Street (for the plane ride home)

Best Burger in DC area

I've only tried Ray's at the "Classics" location. Don't get me wrong, it was good (though I agree overcooked), but I have just enjoyed Urban Burger more recently. Hope you enjoy it.

My vote would be for Urban Burger in Silver Spring/Aspen Hill. Their burgers, imo, top Ray's Hell Burgers.
