Dorignac's
Dorignac's is on Veterans Hwy. close to the New Orleans line. Their meat is great but they certainly don't email when requested.
Prague Powder #1
Does anyone know where my son can purchase prague powder in Gretna or New Orleans, La.? He'd prefer Gretna since he lives in Jesuit Bend but any place may be a help!! Thanks in advance.
Best Seafood in NOLA
The thinking here is Bozo's is a really good place for a Chowhound to visit!
NY foodie coming to New Orleans looking for CANT miss places- Help me with my itinerary please
Parasol's is only good for it's reputation of being well known. Their roast beef isn't good.
Try Parkway Bakery or even Parran's on Veterans.

At all costs DO NOT GO TO DANIEL'S IN THE ESPLANADE. This place is awful and not the food has no consistency.
How far out of your way do you go for tastier chicken?
I gave up eating chicken because of how they're kept. Does anyone know a place in New Orleans where I can get a fresh chicken?
Shrimp boil
I could eat 10 lbs. myself and I'm not a pig. It's just that you don't see many shrimp boils because of the price you hafta pay. I wouldn't let other people boil them for me, it's something you must do yourself unless you're rich or you find a good caterer. There's one in Kenner , but I can't think of the name right now.
Shrimp boil
You must really be wealthy to buy that much shimp for 50 to 60 adults. I'll send you my address if you have any left over (which I doubt seriously)! ENJOY!!!
Shrimp boil
Wow!! You said it all. You hafta be a true New Orleanian. Go girl!!! (And invite me, if you want)
Fried Chicken! I'm looking for a little hole in the wall .
There is a place in Metairie called Fury's. Best chicken I ever had. Hole in the wall but has class. Their prices are reasonable also.
Food Itinerary for New Orleans Trip in October
Parasol's is so overrated. Why not try Parkway Bakery or Mr. Ed's Creole Grille in
Metairie (a hop skip and a jump from nola). There's also a place in Metairie called New City Grille on Metairie Road. New City Grille, Mr. Eds's Creole Grille and Luiazz's can be viewed online. Casamento's is a great choice. Wish I still drove so I could go there once in a while. Whatever you decide, have a wonderful time ! :-)
Creole Tomatoes
The creole is a specially tomato. The flavor comes from the silt that has landed in the back yards of people who live in the Greater New Orleans area, or anywhere where the Mississippi River runs. There is nothing better than picking these wonderful tomatoes and slicing them up for dinner.
What do you cook when you are cooking for one?
I'll cook anything I darn well please. You can freeze for other days when you may be busy or not feeling up to cooking. Also, if you have unexpected company, you can always go to your freezer and make a great meal in little time. I prefer my meals to eating out simply because I can fix it the way I like it and the most important thing, it is clean. I don't have to wonder if someone went to the bathroom and didn't take the time to wash their hands.
Make a bunch of quesadilla's, wrap for one. You can reheat in the microwave. I love to fix a chuck roast and then have sandwiches, or my favorite, beef hash. I'll make about 30 meatballs at one time, place some raw into homemade sauce and simmer. Add the rest to freezer bags after letting freeze on a pan so they don't stick. I'll make fettuccine with alfredo sauce for myself. Golly, anything you feel like eating, you can fix. That's why your freezer can be a very good friend.
Help - green onion overload
Green onions don't do well in a processor. Just wash and slice, it's so easy to do. When I'm not feeling well, I like to slice some up and put it in my wonton soup. So tasty, but they can be used for so many things and as a garnish also.
You scream, I scream...
It's the creaminess that makes good ice cream great. Only real flavor or fruit combined with cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla should be in real ice cream.
Whoa! Yellow Watermelon!! - moved from Los Angeles board
When I was a kid in the 50's and we'd travel though Mississippi during the summer, we'd always get yellow watermelon. I always preferred them to the delicious red ones. They're so juicy and sweet. Haven't had one in about 10 years so I'm gonna hafta try to find one. Thanks for the memory!!
Interesting powders and jars from Barry Farm
I got my tomato powder from Harmony Foods but found it to be bitter. I could have done something wrong though. I do think their potato dices are a great stand by.
Best Po Boy in New Orleans?
Parran's, you can't go wrong.
Mr. Ed's has wonderful po boys's.
Casemento's, but for their meals not the po boy's although good.
Restaurants you wouldn't recommmend
Since no one mentioned Fury's in Metairie, I was wondering what ya'll think. I love it and never find anything wrong with the place. On the otherhand, Middendorf's is one of the worst places to eat seafood. Try Bozo's if you want good seafood. Also, Mr. Ed's is the place to eat for a good meal. Deanie's sucks!! You don't have to impress someone with a big name cause they're usually not worth it.
Dorignac's
Foodies didn't make it after Katrina. I miss it too but you're not gonna find a better grocery than Dorignac's. Their meat is to die for.
Alton Brown's Glove
DrGaellon, you were very observant to catch the name of that glove. Good going!
