New Orleans has a lot of its own peculiarities, such as giving directions as towards the river or towards the lake. \u00a0The same is true for businesses and restaurants, often described as “before the storm,” or “after the storm,” a reference to Katrina.<\/p>\n

Ye Olde College Inn, before the storm, had been around since 1933, serving cocktails and localized favorites like po-boys, chicken or pork chops smothered in gravy, and the like. \u00a0It had a very regular group of customers for its consistent cuisine and reliability.<\/p>\n

In 2003, local entrepreneur (Rock n’ Bowl<\/a>) \u00a0John Blancher purchased the restaurant, and gently starting to shape it to his vision, restaurantus interruptus came along with Katrina, which put three feet of water in the restaurant.<\/p>\n

Undeterred, Blancher was able to reopen\u00a0for limited service\u00a0after a few months, in another property, 30 feet west of the original, \u00a0and he hasn’t missed a beat (or meal) since.<\/p>\n

Ye Old College Inn of today not only features the local favorites, but has also considerably amped up its menu with creative cuisine and locally sourced ingredients.<\/p>\n

One of my oldest N’awlins pals suggested we hit the Inn for dinner (and a straight up Manhattan for her, two Stellas for me). \u00a0A comfortable setting and a comfortable friendship, what could be better?<\/p>\n

The nite we visited they were offering a special hamburger, ground in-house from beef tenderloins, capped with seared fois gras and gold leaf, along with fresh-cut truffle oil fries. \u00a0Both were\u00a0superb.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full menu<\/a>. \u00a0If you’re visiting New Orleans, you can hit the restaurant via a pleasurable journey on the St. Charles\/Carrolton streetcar from the Quarter or Garden District.<\/p>\n
