Here is part 2 of our trip to NOLA.
Our last day in NOLA involved more sightseeing. After a quick sweet role and coffee, we headed to the World War II Museum. If you go to NOLA, this is a very entertaining place to visit. While we were there we had lunch at The American Sector, owned by John Besh. We wanted to save room for dinner, so we ate a little lighter. We shared a cheeseburger slider and fries. These turned out to be bigger than we expected, but they were good.
After lunch we went to Harrah’s to do a little gambling. We saw John Besh’s Steak restaurant located in Harrah’s. We left there a little lighter in the wallet and headed back to our room to change and get ready for dinner at Commander’s Palace. I had the best Sazerac of the trip. Instead of a salad, I tried their Soups 1-1-1. This is a demi serving of each of their three soups. Their famous turtle soup takes three days to prepare and has twenty three spices in it. Much better than the first turtle soup I tasted. The second soup was their gumbo. Also very good. Their last soup was the Soup du Jour, smoked ham hock and potato soup. I could have dined on any by themselves. I did not get a picture of them. You’ll have to trust me that they were all killer. For dinner my wife ordered Brown Butter Seared Jumbo Sea Scallops. They weren’t kidding when they used the word “jumbo”! I ordered the Griddle Seared Gulf Fish which happened to be sea trout. Both were really good. One last dessert. Actually two last desserts. I decided that I wanted my own. My wife ordered the Baked Kettle of European Chocolate and I ordered a freshly made Ponchatoula Strawberry Shortcake. The desserts were out of this world.
There are so many good places to eat in NOLA. The problem is deciding which one to go to next. Thanks for checking out our food in NOLA. Hope you get some ideas to try at home, and then share with the rest of us.
