Cafe B, in New Orleans

The Brennan family owns a slew of dining establishments in New Orlenas, and one that I recently sampled is Cafe B in Old Metairie.

I had a delicious marinated crab finger appetizer, just bursting with flavor.

Gumbo with Potato Salad on Top! Only in New Orleans

Dear Imaginary Friends,

Miz Susan at Cafe B

Have you ever heard of gumbo with potato salad on top? Yup, it is for real. The new restaurant owned by the New Orleans based Brennan family is Cafe B, on Metairie Road, in Old Metairie, and instead of serving gumbo atop rice, they serve a floating island of green onion potato salad instead on their gumbo. Fattening? Maybe a tad!

At any rate, it is good. But not as good as their Barbecue Shrimp. You know how New Orleans rolls: Nothing succeeds like excess!

Happy Or Sad

Dear Imaginary Friends,

Whether you are happy or sad, a snowball makes things better. Especially if it is from Casey's Snoballs in Metairie, Louisiana.

Your snowball fiend,
