Chicken Caesar Salad: with garlic bread, chocolate cake and pop. (S) Ohh man, the cake was so good. (J) Salad was cold and the croutons weren't that crunchy since the whole thing was pre-assembled and refrigerated.
Green Vegetables with Oyster Sauce: (S) Eat more vegetables! It'll make your poo come down easier! (J) That comment is from a YouTube video, in case anyone is wondering. The sauce makes veggies taste good.
Wonton Noodles x 2: (S) It seems like this place is under new management. I didn't recognize any of the workers. Good thing the wontons are still huge. (J) Yup, still tastes the same.
Complimentary bread and olive dip: (S) Carbos are so good. (J) I didn't want to eat too much of this because we had so much good food coming.
Greek Salad: (S) I think we asked for garden salad, but owell. I'll let this one slide... (J) We did ask for Messini/garden salad, but the feta cheese went well with the fries to make Greek fries.
Spanakopita: A Flaky Greeky spinach pie. (S) I <3 (J) Always gotta get this. 
Double Gyros Pita: Lamb shaved from the spit and served in a pita topped with onions, tomatoes, tzatziki and french fries. Served with fries and Greek salad (Tomato, feta cheese, green pepper, onions, cucumber, olive oil, oregano and kalamata olives). (S) This never gets old, who ever thought of putting fries in gyros is a genius. (J) The best. Soft pita, juicy lamb, crispy fries. Always gotta get this too.
Smoothie and Sandwich: raspberry and strawberry smoothie; turkey and cheddar sandwich. (J) The smoothie tasted good like strawberry Nerds candy. I dropped one piece of my bread, so I had an open faced sandwich. It also came with some fancy Dijon mustard. (S) I really liked the smoothie, you can tell it's all real stuff from all the little seeds. The sandwich was good too, hit the spot (after eating everything fried).
Bonafide Combo: two pieces of chicken (one regular and one spicy), cole slaw, biscuit and orange Fanta drink. (J) I liked how the employees called everyone "baby" or "sweetheart". This was our first real meal of the day and it hit the spot. We finished it off pretty quickly and rushed to our airplane that had already boarded! (S) It would have been nice to explore the Atlanta airport, it is insanely massive!
Drinks & Snacks: apple juice and orange juice; peanuts and biscuit, compliments of Delta Air Lines (New Orleans to Atlanta). (J) Delta is better because they give snacks. (S) I liked the cookies!
Drinks & Snacks: ginger ale and tomato juice; mini pretzels and biscuit, compliments of Delta Air Lines (Atlanta to Buffalo).
Beignets: (J) The bottom of the bag was filled with about 2-3 inches of powdered sugar, what a waste. The beignets were good though. I think better than Cafe du Monde. They didn't harden up on the way back to the hotel. (S) Yea, I think these ones were better. We were sugar-faced after eating beignets.
Turtle Soup: (J) My first time eating turtle (and alligator below) and it tasted like...meat. All I could taste was the soup. (S) Yea, didn't taste any distinct turtle flavour. I was reluctant to try it because I can't imagine eating my pets; and so I never will again.
Louisiana Alligator: fried. (J) You could get this blackened or fried. I asked the waiter which one he recommended and he immediately replied "fried". He later explained that you get more with fried, and I looked like I wanted more. Good man. The alligator had no distinct flavour that I could tell, but anything battered and deep fried tastes good. The white dipping sauce was amazing. (S) Tasted like chicken.
Bayou Platter Sampler: Red Beans (left), Jambalaya (right) & Étouffée (middle). Served with bread. (J) The etouffée was good and spicy, and had tiny shrimps in it. Red beans and rice was plaino. Jambalaya had a spicy piece of sausage in it. (S) Etoufee was too spicy for me. Red beans was alright; jambalaya had a bit of spice, but I liked the sausage.
Häagen-Dazs: cookies and cream scoop in a waffle cone. (J) Was able to skip lunch with the help of an ice cream injection. (S) It was soooooo hot. The ice cream was awesome!
Snowball: large grape flavour from a Snow Wonder kiosk. (J) Too bad the ice melted in the end. Maybe get a smaller size next time. (S) Sooooo hot out. Snowball was refreshing. I was tempted to drink all the melted sugar water.
Fruit and Grain: homemade granola, seasonal fruit, plain yogurt. (J) I liked the soft and filling balls of grain. (S) This was so good and healthy. I'm so glad I decided to order it. I think this meal lasted until dinner.
Big Breakfast: Chicken fried steak with country gravy, two eggs, grits, and a homemade biscuit. (J) Fried chicken for breakfast is awesome. I'm not sure what sauce was on top. I put jelly in my grits and it was really good. (S) Mmm...this dish was appetizing. The chicken was so crispy, the eggs looked really good and the grits was tasty with grape jelly.
Beignets: "the beignet is a square piece of dough, fried and covered with powdered sugar. They are served in orders of three." (J) Tastes exactly how it sounds. The leftovers hardened up when we got back to the hotel. (S) Half of that bag was just pure powdered sugar. We decided to split one beignet hot and fresh, and eat the rest later. It's only good when it's super fresh, otherwise it tastes like a sugary version of Chinese fried dough (the ones you dip in congee).
Jambalaya: spicy rice with chicken and sausage. Served with bread and butter. (J) Interesting ball presentation. (S) This was pretty good. It had a bit of spice, but nothing I couldn't handle.
Seafood Gumbo: made with roux, tomato sauce and okra. Served with bread and butter. (J) Tasted good, but a small portion. Would have liked crab meat in the gumbo instead of in the shell. (S) I only had a bit of crab, I was afraid for my allergies :(
Complimentary bread: (J) I think they were brioche (left) and cornbread with sugar on top (right). The guy surprised me by plopping down refills when we finished eating our bread. I left mine alone though because I didn't want to get full. 
Abita Root Beer braised "Fresh Bacon" Salad: with Red Cabbage Slaw, Crisp Yucca, Radish, Shaved Jalapeno, Goat Chesse, Pork Cracklings and Citrus Vinaigrette. (S) I didn't quite taste the root beer, and there was a good chunk of fat on the pork. I think J ate the fat that I left, haha. (J) I was expecting more salad than bacon, but it was the opposite. I may have eaten two of the three pieces of leftover fat. 
Crispy Gulf Oysters: with Blue Crab Slaw, French Watermelon, Crystal Butter and Feta. (S) This was so refreshing. I really liked the fruits. Super yummy! (J) This was the best thing ever! The oysters were crispy on the outside and oh so creamy on the inside. The slaw had good chunks of crab in it, and the melon lightened it all up. 
Sautéed Rainbow Trout: with Artichoke Sweet Potato Hash, Blue Crab and Preserved Lemon-Fennel Compote. (S) ZOMG, I loved this dish. I hyped it up a bit too much for J while I was eating it. I really liked the sweet sauce and how everything went together. The waiter commented on how clean my dish was afterwards: "it's almost as clean as when I got it." (J) It was over-hyped by the time I got it haha. I liked how the sweet sauce had a complex taste from all the ingredients. 
Truffled Gulf Shrimp "Louis": with Butter Lettuce, Citrus, Smoked Bacon and Chopped Egg. (S) This was really good too, not as good as the fish, but it was pretty refreshing too. (J) I liked the shrimp and the egg, but I already had my fill of bacon from the salad. 
Vanilla Bean Crême Brulée: with Seasonal Cookie. (S) Of course I had to get the Crême Brulée...and it was amazing! The top layer was a good crunch and everything just tasted really good. (J) I scraped the bowl to try and eat everything. 
Lemon Curd Tart: with Torched Meringue and Seasonal Berries. (J) Good tartness. Meringue was nice and gooey.
Breakfast: 2 eggs (sunny side up), grits, bacon, and biscuit: (S) The grits was surprisingly better than the previous one. I'm guessing it had more butter on it. This breakfast looked more appetizing. (J) I chose the more Southern options. This was bigger and better than Cafe Beignet's breakfast. 
Oyster Po-Boy: (S) Ohh so good. I like the french bread, they say it doesn't hurt the roof of your mouth and it's true. The oysters were fried goodness in the morning. (J) I could eat this forever. Lots of oysters. Pickles gave it the sourness needed. We opted out of mayo, but I bet it would have tasted even better with it.
"...Of Course We Have Scampi!": Tender Shrimp sautéed with Capers in Lemon-Garlic Butter, served over a bed of Linguini. (J) Nice big portion of garlic buttery pasta with tons of shrimp. I wanted more garlic bread. 
Bourbon Street Mahi Mahi: charbroiled Cajun spiced Mahi Mahi with Bourbon Sauce and grilled Shrimp, served over Mashed Potato. (S) I really liked the fish a lot. Everything went well together, the sauce + fish + mashed potatoes + shrimp. Yumm... (J) Fish was charbroiled well.
Biscuits: (S) Nice and fluffy, easy to break open, so good with syrup. (J) Biscuits weren't listed on the menu, so it came as a nice surprise. The syrup had a unique flavour. 
Drinks: Abita root beer (left) and Abita beer (right). (S) I like this root beer. (J) I don't drink beer, but this tasted alright. 
Corn & Crab Bisque: (S) Zomg, so much butter...but tasted really nice with great texture. Lesson: when making the roux (mixing a fat with flour on heat to desired colour), don't do anything else! (J) Tasted nice and creamy. Lots of corn and chunks of crab. 
Shrimp Creole: (S) Southern people love their butter. This was made with another butter-based roux, cooked to a shade of peanut butter. This was my ultimate favourite dish! It included shrimp, the Holy Trinity (onion, celery, green bell pepper) and the Pope (chopped garlic). (J) I liked the shrimp. It's scary that you can't taste all the butter that went into it. 
Pralines: (S) This was waaay too sweet for me. I took a bite and couldn't eat the rest. (J) It was too sweet and soft. I prefer the crunch of a brittle instead. 
Bread Pudding: (S) Normally I love bread pudding, but again this was way too sweet. I took a bite and left it. I wanted to go back for more Shrimp Creole. (J) I wasn't a big fan of the coconut.
Drinks: chocolate milk (left) and iced cafe au lait (right). (S) Chocolate milk hit the spot. (J) I don't drink coffee, but I had a coupon for a free one. 
French Toast: Cajun style made with French bread served with seasonal fruit & maple syrup. (S) It wasn't bad, I drenched it in the syrup though. (J) I dunked mine in the syrup too. 
Southern Breakfast: scrambled eggs, bacon, grits & french bread. (S) Looks like edible plastic, grits was plaino...nothing special except that it was in NOLA! (J) I was expecting a huge American portion, but they don't do that here. My first time eating grits and it had no taste; like porridge.
Drinks: homemade lemonade (left) and Abita root beer (right). (J) The lemonade was not overly sweetened. (S) I was reconnected with my long lost root beer. I like Abita!
Complimentary bread and butter.
Cochon: Louisiana cochon with turnips, cabbage & cracklins. (J) It was their signature dish so we decided to try it. The cracklins were good, as all pork rinds should be. The pork was peppery. (S) I don't normally choose to eat fried pork skin...but vacation calls for unusual eating. I was expecting more considering the price; it tasted alright, wasn't the best first impression of NOLA.
Wood-fired Oyster Roast: topped with a bunch of things. (J) The waiter recommended this. The flavour was good with just a little spice. These were eaten and gone much too quickly. (S) Again, was expecting more considering the price. It was a bit too spicy for me, so I only ate the meat and skipped the sauce.
Drinks: Sprite and apple juice compliments of US Airways (Buffalo to Washington DC).
Drinks: cranberry juice and tomato juice compliments of US Airways (Washington DC to New Orleans).
McMuffin Breakfast x2: sausage McMuffin with egg, hash brown and orange juice. (S) Yay for coupons! This filled me up until forever! (J) No better way to start a food eating trip than with a fatty breakfast.
