Yeah. Tough question. I'd really like to get a surf n turf from Parkway before heading out, but dinner hmmm I'd probably go get a classic over at Commander's just because.

The same as I have answered this question before.

At the bar at Clancy's with Garth serving me.

Crab Salad
Sweetbreads
Shrimp Remoulade

Veal Chop
Soft Shell crab

Lemon ice box pie
Peppermint ice cream with chocolate cauce

Two bottles of whatever wine strikes me off the list.

Coffee
Cognac

Either move me, or bury me.

Well since we are playing, I'll have to go with things that I can't get outside the New Orleans area.
One would have to be a R&O special and the white beans and rabbit from New Orleans Food and Spirits.
Then a snowball from Hansen's.
I figure fine dining I can get here, so I went with the Pinot for the bread( since I can't get the bread here) and no one cooks white beans up here the way they do back home....and the snoball, Yankees have no idea what that is.

Make sure you pick up a muff from CG on your way outta town. Moving from NOLA I assume? Hope you weren't part of the TP fiasco.

No, nothing dramatic like that. In full disclosure, it's my brother who's moving from NO back to NYC, and we can't decide where to have his last meal...too many good options.

Just make it a last day of meals.

Brennan's for breakfast.
Parkway for lunch and a Plum Street snowball
Antoine's for dinner.

Leave early the next morning and grab cafe du monde before he leaves.

If you can swing it, a whole Friday afternoon in the downstairs of Galatoire's, then of course a po boy from your favorite place.

Having access to NYC when I want a very nice meal, I would suggest the things you can't get up here. Hence the poboys or something along those lines.

It would be a culinary pub crawl type of event. The Royal Orleans for cocktails, then Brennans for the appetizer portion, then Antoines for the main dish, followed by dessert at the Monteleone, and finally more cocktails at the Windsor Court. I would arrive at the airport in a very blissful mood.

I left NOLA 2 weeks before Katrina to move to San Fran. For the life of me I can't recall what my last NOLA meal was. I knew I would be back often so I likely wasn't worried.

In hindsight, the thing that I miss the most is a GOOD shrimp poboy. I really can't find good french bread and thus its almost impossible for me to replicate a Louisiana Poboy. I make a decent gumbo, jambalaya, red beans, etc...but I've haven't yet learned to make good french bread.

Look for Julia Childs recipe for two loaves of bread, make it using bread flour. Let it sit by itself for twenty minutes, then divide into two loaves, roll it out in one direction to make the baguette shape, then let it sit for a few minutes and after shake it out from end to end to stretch the loaf(it shrinks up a bit from the gluten content), must find item a baguette pan(BB&B store), Let it rise for an hour in a warmish environment and shake it again, then this little trick, make slits(not very deep) across the loaf top at an angle to the center line. Now for the oven, place the pan on the upper rack, and throw a few drops of water on the bottom of the oven(it makes steam which is very important) and shut the oven door.

No breakfast, or if I had to I'd get Morning Call coffee and donuts.

Lunch, I'd get gumbo and a bbq shrimp po-boy from Liuzza's By the Track and/or a breathless Roast Beef.

Dinner at Clancy's or Commander's Palace, starting with turtle soup and ending with bread pudding.

Very depressing to think about that, but Commander's would have to be in there at some point..
