Eating in NOLA:

Hey look a new web page.  Moving on -

Day four of our journey brings us to Lakeview for a poboy.  A Koz's poboy to be exact.  Koz's doesn't play around.  They sell their poboys by the loaf, and to the best of my knowledge they don't give you a t-shirt or anything if you finish it.


Now it was recommended I get the the BBQ beef poboy.  After the Joint yesterday I wasn't sure I could handle it so I want with the 8 inch Cheeseburger poboy.  They also sell a french fry poboy at Koz's but when I asked for some french fries on my cheeseburger poboy I was looked at like I should get the hell out.  Whatever though because it was delicious.  And after I took a few bite of it I took this picture.  I took it with my phone... just for old times sake.


Though I skipped the BBQ beef, my roommate had it and gave it his seal of approval.  He's going to be a doctor one day so I feel like he can be trusted.

An 8 inch poboy at Koz'swill run you $7.50 or so depending on the type.

After 4 days of stuffing myself on lunch specials I think I'm going to have to track down a salad for tomorrow's post.  If you know of good place post a comment or use the information under the nifty new Contact tab up there on the left.

Koz sounds like a killer clown.  Just saying.

So this blog is called "Eating in NOLA" not "Eating in Europe".

So here is what we will do. Because I care about you guys, or I guess mostly I care about taking pictures of food awkwardly in restaurants both foreign and domestic, I took a ton of pictures of food from across the pond. So we are going to do one long post with a ton of pictures and short captions. Then we'll get back to what you come here for. Good old NOLA eating.

So... Here we go...

Here is our meal from the top of Montmartre in Paris. Kerry has Coq Au Vin and I had some sort of steak in pepper sauce. We had a real good dessert with cherries and ice cream too.



We drank lots of red wine that night and this is one of the bottles. We went to a cool little place.


Oh so this was in Dijon France. It was suppose to be one of the best restaurants in the country. It was fantastic and they had colorful plates.

We drank Kir. Its a local specialty with white wine and black current syrup.
And we both had the scallops with a vanilla lime infusion.

So Annecy was another stop along the trip. Annecy is at the foot of the alps and offered some pretty incredible views. It also offered some pretty incredible cheese fondue for lunch one day.
oh and some pretty incredible chocolate fondue for dessert one night too.
And one day I bought some things I thought were cookies but were biscuits and I didn't like them much but I took this picture.


On to Rome. We had our first dinner at this restaurant just feet from the Coliseum.
We started with a local favorite... melon and prosciutto.
Kerry had a classic Caprese Salad
And I ate a pasta dish we are going to try at home really soon so keep an eye out. Its just spaghetti with olive oil, garlic, cracked red pepper and cheese.
And all night this guy sang to us...


So this was a place right by the apartment we stayed in. These are crab fritter things.
They made their pasta fresh and this was some pasta and cheese I ate with cracked black pepper.
Kerry had the gnocchi with Italian sausages

Then we went on an awesome walking tour that took us into some really cool Roman squares. In one we got a cannoli and it cost 11 euro. That's like 89 dollars US.


Alright and the last meal we documented over seas is this one at Vitti, an out door cafe. We got a little wine.

I ate a little pizza. Actually the best pizza I have ever eaten.
Kerry had this pasta that was spicy and good too.
and then we had dessert. We ordered gelato. We ordered the flavors we didn't understand. The flavors we ordered were "kiss" and "egg flop." We are pretty sure the flavors were hazelnut and butter scotch.

So that's it. You never have to hear about Europe again. Start reading again. Don't take us off your blog rolls. We will be NOLA through and Through from now on. Hell I could post a Community Coffee post right now if you wanted.

Oh yeah... one last thing though. I had two connecting flights through new york and Atlanta before I got home to the Big Easy. At JFK I went to Chili's. I'm ashamed about it but in the spirit of full disclosure... Bacon Ranch Burger and fries.

I forgot to take pictures of the food at Camellia Grill on Carrollton. Part of me genuinely feels bad about posting without a few pictures of what we ate. Another part of me figures that you know what diner food looks like. Just trust that we ate there and didn't just go in take a picture and walk out. I have a receipt.

More importantly this is the last post of Jordan's trip to NOLA so why not highlight him?

Well, Jordan wanted to go Camellia because apparently he heard about it on the forums at CollegeHumor.com. I'm not sure why or how, but either way he got a pretty good double cheeseburger out of the deal.

Kerry had a grilled cheese (maybe with tomato slices... I'm not sure, I didn't open it up) and I had a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Kerry and I shared some onion rings as well. Oh, and Kerry had a shake (the chocolate kind) and I drank a Coca-Cola Classic because I'm from Atlanta.

It was a good visit with Jordan, with some great food.
