So nice to get your vote seconded by the likes of Frank Bruni of The New York Times. You think he's talking about me, too?
Just in case anyone missed it, I wanted to humbly point out two hot spots getting much deserved recognition. If you haven't yet sent it to your foodie friends, send it now, show them you're in the know.
Remember O ya and Cochon? O ya is our Boston new comer serves incredible sushi is in the running for the number one or two spot on Frank Bruni's current series on the top ten restaurants outside of NYC that serious foodies must try.
I've been so lucky to have eaten so well recently, I'm practically still in a food coma. Head is full of ideas, desk is stacked with notes, clippings, books, more notes. I promise to start getting this out of my head, off my desk and to you.
Til then, you can peruse a quick slide show I posted on my other blog here. And if you get a chance to see Bourdain's show on New Orleans, it's worth a viewing. Very interesting to see this episode before my last trip to Nola, then after. I'm glad he got some points just right. Other points, I'm defensive about the chosen portrayal of the city. Who knows how choices got made, by whom and what was left on the cutting room floor.
Know this: the city is ready to show you a great meal or several great meals, each day for as long as you visit. There's still a lot left to do to help the city rebuild, but there are also lots of good people doing work that doesn't make the news. I'll do my best to bring you some of these stories here and on my own blog. For now, here's an article in a travel website that might whet your appetite.
