Mrs Wick and I arrived in NOLA a little after 1:00 and grabbed lunch at Cochon Butcher. We ordered the charcuterie plate, which included chicken pâté with a pepper jelly like topping and we shared a pork belly sandwich which included cucumber and mint. Everything was very good.

Dinner was at Herbsaint, we stuck with a salad, and small plates of: Beef Short Rib with Potato Rösti, Salsa Verde and Horseradish Cream, Housemade Spaghetti with Guanciale and Fried-Poached Farm Egg, and Cornmeal Fried Oysters with Cole Slaw and Hot Sauce. Everything was excellent.

The following morning we grabbed an Uber to the Quarter and walked around. Ended up getting raw oysters at Felix's. The oysters just had no taste to them. Dinner was at Labaca, we ordered, provoleta (grilled Argentine cheese, olive oil & oregano) as an appetizer. Mrs. Wick ordered the flank steak and I ordered the hanger. Both were very good, but I enjoyed the taster of the hanger over the flank. We really enjoyed the meal here, great place.

A few pics from Labaca, ignore the snapchat filters, I was picking random custom filters all weekend to snap out to friends...

Maybe that fricky filter isn't letting the color come through clearly.

It’s very sad that you couldn’t use the context clues of “warehouse district”, “hanger steak”, and “flank steak” to figure out that OP was referring to a restaurant only one letter different than his misspelling.

They char the shite out of the outside of their steaks. Found it very off putting and haven't been back since. Fully understand I'm in the minority not caring for it.

I ask for the hanger, blue rare...rare as the chef will send it out. It's always glorious.

To me though, that's not mid rare. I'd eat it and enjoy it and not say a word to my wife or the folks I'm eating with. They serve it the way their audience likes it. I may say that's overcooked, but I understand they're more successful than I'd be cooking steaks.
