Your wife's friend didn't go to Bennigan's, she went to Brennan's. The Brennan family owns a lot of restaurants in New Orleans, but they are fancy, and I didn't pack anything nice enough to wear to a fancy restaurant. I prefer down-home cooking, shrimp poor boys and red beans and rice, stuff like that. Crawfish etouffe and red snapper stuffed with crab meat is standard creole restaurant fare at literally hundreds of restaurants here. The food here is so wonderful, even pizza is celestial. Well, DeAngelo's pizza. For instance, at DeAngelo's you can get a salad primavera which is a dinner plate piled high with baby lettuce leaves, artichoke hearts, black olives, roma tomato slices alternating with fresh mozzarella, striped with basil, crowned with red onion slices, and fresh peppers, with fresh homemade garlicky vinaigrette, for about eight bucks. You can get calzones stuffed with spinach, wild mushrooms, and mozzarella with garlicky sauce for about six bucks. Last night we ate Lebanese food at Albasha's, I ordered an appetizer plate for two for me and the kids to share, and an entree of lamb shanks and pilaf, and the kids each got something, and I wound up with three full, I mean full, to-go containers full of leftovers. You don't have to eat Cajun or Creole food to get a wonderful meal, at the good restaurants everything is fresh, well-seasoned, and plentiful. You would envy me, if you had any idea what you were missing. If I just breathed on you, you'd be in heaven.
