That brioche and eggs at Tartine...

Cake Cafe in Marigny is also really good.

I like Merchant. Kinda fritzy meets hipster, but I always enjoy it.

None of which are in the CBD or French Quarter.

Since it's near to the house, I've given Wakin' Bakin a try 3 times. I just don't think it's very good. Bland and underwhelming.

I do really like Biscuits and Buns though.

For a few years now, he invites all current & former Marines to Luke on the Marine Corps Birthday and treats us like kings for the day. Here's a write up USAA did on him a few months ago. LINK

Another vote for the Ruby Slipper. Four locations now, my favorite is on Cortez - right behind Manale's on Canal. They just opened up one on Canal about three blocks from the Saenger towards the river..
