(From our archives) Went to Bozo’s in Metairie tonight, had been meaning to get there. A bit hard to find if you don’t know exactly where it is, and very little signage when you are right on top of it. (It’s behind Borders in Metairie). It’s one of those places that locals say is the “best…”… Continue reading Metairie, LA – Bozo’s

Especially ones that have endured w/o change over the years. For the past 70 years, Charlie’s has been selling the “sizzle” right along side the best of them, but doing… Continue reading New Orleans, LA – Charlie’s Steak House
Aloha, OR – Donut Day
Mrs. Burgerdogboy had business in the same hood as this shop the other day, and she swears (alot!) that the donut shop had one of those ‘flavor fingers’ we used to see in cartoons beckoning her in.

New Orleans, LA – Upperline
(From our archives) Proving once again that, as in most categories, reviewers don’t know shit from shinola, Tom Fitzmorris gave the Upperline “Four Stars;” the Times-Picayune lauded it with “Four Beans;” it has received the Wine Spectator’s “Award of Excellence,’ and Frommer’s called it “Best Contemporary Creole” in the city. What a load of hooey.… Continue reading New Orleans, LA – Upperline
