I had the muffuletta from Central Grocery. It wasn't good. Definitely overhype on that item.

Cochon Butcher - Sweet and Spicy Brisket sliders is what I think they were called. Not sure if they have them all the time though.

Besides those:

-Margherita pizza from Oak Oven
-Shrimp poboy from Koz's
-Pork chop from Hillbilly BBQ
-Tortilla Soup from The Ridge Bistro.
-Carne Asada from Taqueria Corona.

1. Roasted chicken at Gautreau's

Very seldom do I order chicken in a restaurant because I cook it often but dear god I can't get anything else on Gautreau's menu because I just can't get past this. It is clearly the absolute best chicken dish I have ever eaten. Then a banana split to finish.

Check my pulse after that.
