Dinner : BR Tonight : Casual, Off The Beaten Path

Long story that some of dont care about, but who cares.


My mother was in NOLA a couple weeks ago, and texted me askin where could she get a good steak. I proceeded to sell her on the quality and uniqueness of La Boca. She was very interested. La Boca or if you want traditional steakhouse... Mr Johns.

Last week she said she & my old man were coming to BR this weekend and wanted to go to Texas De Brazil. "You know, like we talked about in New Orleans."

No, not like La Boca. We proceeded to discuss the differences of La Boca from the meat buffet establishments known widely across America as Brazilian Steakhouses - NOT an Argentinian La Boca. Fogo De Chao, TDB, etc. I suggested if she was taking 5 of us out to dinner, the $350 she would spend at TDB would be much better suited at Ruths.

Said she would think about it.

Then asks yesterday about Middendorfs, as she wants to be casual. Good idea, if your out that way - but im not interested in driving an hour for fried catfish.

Then she asks about Satterfields, evidently it is the reatraunt where the most campaign dollars were spent by Louisiana politicians last year. I do not see how that info could be anywhere near accurate. I say if we go to New Roads, we give Hot Tails a go.

I suggested Roberto's, as she has never been there.... And Houmas. She scratchded Houmas as she believes she cannot go casual. She likes the looks of Roberto's. Ive been a few times.... Some were outstanding and some were mediocre.


Any other suggestions? She seems to be off the steak train.... Dont mind a little drive. I will make reservations if needed.

I could just cook her a steak here
