re: BARNBURNER La Lag defeats Jacques 24-20 (Rio Mar 2) CLOSED

Lagniappe

wow, new orleans people choose jacq's and BR people choose LAL.....who could have predicted that

this is a tough one...but I'll have to go with
La Lagniappe....

I do enjoy both, but the menu is better at LAL, IMO

My Vote goes to: Louisiana Lagniappe

if you asked me this 5 years ago i would say Jacques-Imo's without a doubt...but since that time it seems like LA Lagniappe has improved, while Jacques Imo's has taken a dive in quality and a hike in price. At this point Jacques-Imo's is a tourist trap or "urban excursion" for northshore or metairie yuppies. Also, since Austin left us the fried chicken is sorely lacking.

Again, I agree with El Tigre! Jacques Imo's has seriously gone down hill since Austin Leslie left us (may he rest in peace)! If you go there around 9 at night, you are bound to run into the very drunk & very unpleasant owner, Jacques Leonardi (Jack).

Hey El Tigre, if you go to the River Terrace at the Shaw Center, there is an Awesome Black & White Photo of the late, great Austin Leslie! I gotta find me a copy or steal it!

I've been to both, and La Lagniappe wins this one easily. I'd like to know how many folks that have been to each restaurant more than a time or two are voting for Jacques, because this one isn't even close to being close.

I would agree been to both many many times and its just not even close at least not since AL died.
