Y.A. just hypothesized that your life's existence is the equivalent of a Tulane LSU alter trying to be intentionally dumb.

That has to be joke, but then again so is the TP.

Not really, I am pretty NOLA stupid and like it that way. Plus, I could never pull off the Bible threads he does, neither could Glass of TA.

Yeah, I saw that. I've been called a lot of things, but a dumb version of TulaneLSU is a low blow.

The most amazing thing to me was that he was able to secure a screenname like "TulaneLSU" like 8-10 years into the existence of the site. Figured that would've gone pretty fast.

parents are loaded. often leads to feelings of superior self-worth and a condescending tone that permeates any and all discussion of religion, politics and local food & culture.

underneath lies severe insecurity issues.

You are correct in that your list is not definitive. Not a single representative from our unique French heritage, but two representatives from Italy. Sorry, your list fails without including Antoine's. It hasn't lasted this long without being essential to New Orleans dining.

The funny thing with him though is that he is being condescending in a clever way that makes fun of the other condescending types.

First list you made that I've eaten at every place at..

Central Groecery is a must stop place when I bring people to town, though I personally prefer Nor-Joes.

K-Pauls is high up there for me.

I think Aldolpho's is better than Impasato's in that category.

Lil Dizzy's is excellent.

Commander's is my personal favorite fine dining spot, but I honestly need to try more that's the area I in which I seem to try the least new places.

I think that's the case for most people

I don't feel like getting dressed up often. Don't feel like shelling out that type of money on food often either.

I tend to eat out by myself every now and then as well. Feels funny doing that in a finer restaurant.

Galatoires. But, I'd probably have to agree that Antoines would be more "essential" in that category.

Hell, it's arguably the most "essential" restaurant in New Orleans, regardless of the fact that it's mostly terrible these days.

exactly. Even though many have bars. It's just not the same.

I want to try August, Stella, Luke, RioMar, Antoine's and a few others. I usually use dates to try the nicer places..
