Emeril Lagasse Trifecta!

We completed the trifecta tonight by going to Emeril Lagasse's NOLA in the french quarter. Okay I think this is the last post about food until we go to Rick Bayless Topolobombo. Diane Ravitch was at the NEA convention. She makes a lot of sense so of course school districts around the country will not heed her words.

Trifecta

We completed the Emeril Lagasse trifecta at NOLA. Bill had shrimp and grits and I had a fish called drum. My favorite was Emeril's New Orleans, best service, best food and best ambiance!

Emeril's Delmonico

We went to Emeril's Delmonico and ate small plates. We shared the Gulf Crabmeat Cake, Assorted Young Lettuces, Rabbit Crepes, Lamb Meatballs and I didn't share the Gumbo. And yeah, I had two martinis, who's counting!

Happy Fourth of July!

Independence Day 2010, we saw the last inning of the Zephyrs game and fireworks at Zephyr Field in Matarie, Louisiana.
