Dear Imaginary Foodies,
Greetings from the culinary center of the world: New Orleans, Louisiana.
Last night, my sister, brother in law and I enjoyed a trek to the West Bank of New Orleans to dine at Mosca's. We all agreed on the best dishes: crab salad, chicken grandee', and shrimp Mosca. If you are fond of such dishes, you will be delighted to bring wads of cash to this destination. No, they don't take credit cards, but, yes, they do have an ATM on site!
The former death trap bridge, known as the Huey P. Long, is no longer the scary ride it once was.
You no longer have to be a stunt driver to cross the Mississippi River to get to Waggaman, LA.
Mosca's, meaning spider in Italian, was owned by a Sicilian family well-known in Southern Louisiana.
Despite the low decor, the prices are high. Nonetheless, the food redeems itself. If you are a vegetarian, your choices are limited to house salad and spaghetti Bordelaise. There are virtually no veggies on the menu and only two desserts: pineapple fluff (!) and cheese cake. Skip those and head to Brocato's instead for dessert.
Your imaginary foodie,
Patsie
