re: Stella in N.O. is closed

The last meal I had there was the most expensive meal I've ever had in the US. The tasting menu with wine pairing. It was good, but not THAT good. I can't remember anything that really wowed me, so I guess I shouldn't be shocked by them closing. I haven't had any desire to go back. There are just so many other options that I enjoy more and are way less expensive. They substituted the port for the ex without hesitation though.

I would have gone back on someone else's dime in a heartbeat though.

I went once on Halloween night in costume before going out. We were in fancy costumes. That was a blast.
