Shaya [Touro, New Orleans, LA]

Back to Shaya, it was great the last time. And it was great this time too. Started off with the Lamb Ragu. As good as last time. Rosendo had the Lamb Shank and Persian rice, which was wonderful. And I tried the Roasted Salmon. Fabulous. It was flavored with tarragon, my all time favorite spice.

Crescent City Steaks [Bayou St John, New Orleans, LA]

Went to Crescent City Steaks with Rosendo. Nice place, nothing fancy. Sort of old fashioned. Super hot plates! We both had the Ribeye. Very good! And for dessert, we had a piece of pecan pie. So good! I forgot to take a picture until the very end.

Second Empire [Raleigh, NC]

Found a charming restaurant in Raleigh, NC during the ECO conference with Rosendo. Fabulous place, fabulous food. Can't remember exactly what my starter was, but Rosendo had the French Onion Soup. And we both had the lamb chops. Very nice.
