Arse's Fatty Rewind™ ("Let's hear it for the boy" weekend)

My arse was tore up last night by Popeye's, and I'm done with that hell hole. It was a fun weekend until that point.

On Friday, I scooted out of the office a little early to celebrate love winning. I went to the French 75 bar to grab a few drinks. The door was locked and I had to check my calendar to make sure they weren't doing 4th of July cleaning. They just had forgot to unlock the door.

I grabbed an El Guapo. It had Beam, maraschino and rosemary. It was very good. After the first one went down, I ordered another with some cheese puffs and fried shrimp with brie and jalapeno. They were both very appetizing.






From there I ran to Lafitte's in Exile to capture the moment. I grabbed a couple High Lifes. Never order cocktails there. They measure every pour and it's a ripoff. The sidewalks were so pretty.




We had reservations at Meaux Bar and had a few minutes to kill. I met my bartender at Lafitte's for a quick Beam.


We then walked to dinner. I hugged the shade. I quickly perused the menu and ordered an old fashion. I believe it was made with Benchmark.



For the first round, I went with the burrata and crab gnocchi. Both dishes were great and perfect for the hot weather. I'd eat that burrata all day every day.



For my second round, I went with a cheese tart and sweetbreads. I could have done without the tart; I didn't enjoy it that much. The sweetbreads were outstanding, and I enjoyed the addition of blueberries.



For dessert, we ran to Emeril's for banana cream pie. I got another old fashion and kicked back.




We went home to pass out. On Saturday, I awoke to run some errands. While in Mid City, I grabbed a sausage biscuit at Biscuits and Buns on Banks. The biscuit was good, but the sausage was interesting to me. Next time, I'd like order it with bacon. The home fries were very good as well. I was disappointed to see Banks St Bar was not open yet. So I drove home with my meal to grab some Beam.



After cleaning the house, I ran to Butcher for lunch. We decided we should check out the D Day museum. The lines were long, so I ran to the bar and grabbed two seats. They had a ton of volleyball players in town, and I think most decided to eat here.

I got a cocktail with Slow and Low. It was good. I ordered pimento sliders, baked macaroni and boudin. The lady ordered cold roast beef. All were good. The sliders were covered in butter and would be great for a hangover. I enjoyed the boudin, and the macaroni was amazing.







We grabbed a couple of beers for the ride to the museum. It was too fricking hot outside. The museum was packed. We skipped a lot of people in line buy ordering our tickets online in the museum. Will call had them ready in a matter of time.
