We had breakfast one morning at the famous Cafe Du Monde and enjoyed, of course, beignets and coffee.
Now I had the best of intentions to take pictures of the beignets, but what can I say? They disappeared quickly and all that was left was this huge pile of sugar.
Vogel and I each ordered a really yummy cafe au lait.
That same day, we had lunch at Drago's, a restaurant in our hotel. Someone gave us the tip to try the charbroiled oysters, so we did.
Awesome. The best thing we ordered that day, I think.
We did make a mistake at Drago's though, by not realizing just how big their po boys are.
Here's mine: a portobello mushroom sandwich with sweet potato fries. It was pretty good, but could have fed two people and then some. And each of us ordered a sandwich. You think the waitress would have warned us...
I don't have any more food pictures, but can tell you that we had dinner one night at NOLA, thanks to a recommendation from Amber's husband, Mike. It was awesome! Thanks, Mike!
UPDATE: While we're on the subject of food porn, check out this lovely blog all about lunch (and I am quite serious when I use that adjective--check out the quality of the pictures).

Ok... so the only thing that sounded yummy to me was breakfast! Beth and I ate there when we went to New Orleans senior year. We had one of those things (don't know how to spell it) too...very yummy!
yuck to coffee, oysters, mushrooms and sweet potatoes. but... props to you for eating all of that stuff. I sometimes wish I didn't have such a picky palate. I like to say that my taste buds are more sensitive than others...that is why I don't like lots of foods (the rest of you aren't getting the full taste of nastiness!)
