Wasn't it Barcadia's first day doing brunch?
It's different, I assure you.

Barcadia, where you went is in the WHD in New Orleans, LA. Good food is found around nearly every corner, yet you found(and took pictures) of a mediocre place.
In all fairness he did follow it up with dinner at Dragos. Barcadia was merely pre game.

They've been open for months.
But it was their first time serving brunch. No slack?

Yes. I was giving the generally insufferable LNCHBOX a hard time about a meal I don't care for.

Is acting like a stuck up douche bag on the internet really fun for you? I guess I missed the part where I claimed I was going to the best of the best type restaurants. I did brunch at Barcadia to support a HS classmate, and my dad wanted to go to Drago's.
But keep acting like you're too good for that kind of stuff. Everyone is REALLY impressed.

Yea, I'm the insufferable one. It's definitely just me.

Why do you participate on the Food Board? Do you have an interest in food?

I wanted to start a thread about Oak Oven earlier in the week but decided not to b/c I didn't want to over hype the place. Looks like I should have since an O Brah thread quickly becomes a train wreck.

Apparently having an opinion different than yours means I shouldn't post here. Get over yourself douche bag.
Just out of curiosity, you didn't happen to write this, did you?

Decided to see what all the hoopla was about with Mellow Mushroom on Oak St so my wife and I checked it out. Still wasn't sure how I felt about a chain restaurant opening up on Oak Street but after this visit, I'm convinced they don't belong on Oak St.
We walked in just after 2 or 3pm but had to wait a few moments as the hostess and servers ran around trying to figure out where to seat the folks in front of us. (The balcony is a popular spot apparently.) The hostess was very personable and greeted us with a smile. So far so good.
When we were seated, our server came out and didn't introduce herself. Just started with "Hi. What can I get you to drink?" She also didn't make any suggestions and didn't mention any specials. "Ok. Guess we're on our own with this place, sweetheart." I got a water with lemon and my wife got the Bayou Bramble drink. Her drink was not bad but we both didn't think $8 was worth ordering another one.
We decided on ordering the Holy Shiitake Pizza which according to the menu includes:
"A blend of shiitake, button, and portobello mushrooms with caramelized onions on an olive oil and garlic base with mozzarella and Italian montamore cheese drizzled with garlic aioli and a spritz of black truffle oil. Garnished with fresh chives and shaved parmesan."
When we finally received our pizza, the hostess asked us how everything was....before we were able to take a bite out of our pizza. Hmm.
I took a slice and noticed that the pizza was literally dripping with oil. Not very appetizing. I managed to eat one slice and that was enough for me. I took a bite out of another slice but when a big glob of oil squirted into my mouth from the slice, I spit it out and pushed my plate away. Horrendous. My wife could only eat one slice as well. (And we were both starving.)
Overall, I don't think I'll be going back at all. But at least if this joint keeps up with the way our experience was, that's good news for the local businesses on Oak St that truly bring New Orleans cuisine into the spotlight.

Hope all publicity is good publicity.... ha

You could make another completely useless post in this thread.
Posted on 2/20/14 at 4:13 pm to LNCHBOX
Nah, I'll follow your model and just spread inane posts across virtually every thread.
