Zea’s Rotisserie and Grill another New Orleans Treat, a must eat!
March 27th, 2008 categories: Metairie, NOLA Eats
Zea’s Rotisserie and Grill in Harahan was the first location in 1997 and has been growing since that time. It was converted from an old Toddle House and has developed into another New Orleans experience in cooking. This has been one of my favorites since that time. Its like you do not want to try anything new. I like the Thai Ribs, corn grits and dirty rice and that is generally what I tend to order. A half rack should fill any person up. You can get flavored tea or regular tea and its just plain good. I will try the varieties of tea as a change.
Yes, I have tried the salads and the trout but I come back to what brought me here. The Ribs as they fall of the bone in the tasty sauce. I can never remember having something that I have not liked at Zea’s. Now there are several locations and they have expanded outside of Louisiana. In New Orleans and surrounding areas people do go to places that have great food. Its good at lunch or dinner.
Zea’s is also smart. Every year around the holidays the sell gift certificates for 20% off for the following year. I guess they think people are going to lose them or they will go unused, however I know where mine are and it give me a great excuse to go again. You can get the meals to go which a lot of people do at the origional location. Its come a long way since the Toddle House. See you there? We can talk about New Orleans Condos!

New Orleans Hamburger and Seafood Company, New Menu
March 12th, 2008 categories: Jefferson Parish, NOLA Eats
New Orleans likes a good lunch and agents like a variety of food . New Orleans Hamburgers has an updated menu and have changed their approach since 2007. More importantly the food remains good. The best choices are the basic hamburger or the shrimp po-boy in my opinion. You can put whatever fixings you want on them at a hamburger bar, bacon bits, tomato’s, lettuce, cheese, pickles and whatever.
The variety of ice tea has also expanded. If you are not super hungry its easy to split an entree with another person. The other popular item is the shrimp po-boy with the popcorn shrimp lightly battered and not overcooked. You get something like 80 shrimp in the regular size so its easy to split into two. I tend to like them with cheese and bacon bits with mayo. it another one of our many choices that we have in the New Orleans Market.
In New Orleans Realtors are always looking for a good place to eat. If we are going to get overweight its not going to be at Wendy’s or the Golden Arches. they have several locations in Jefferson Parish. Most likely the most popular one is on Veterans near the Orleans Parish line. They have been very consistent in their food and that is why they get a lot of return business from the locals. There are 3 locations in East Jefferson and one in Houma. check out the site.

Crabby Jack’s in Old Jefferson, Its the King Shrimp Po-Boy!
February 8th, 2008 categories: Jefferson Parish, NOLA Eats
Crabby Jack’s, located in the four hundred block of Jefferson highway, defines the shrimp po-boy. The decor is neighborhood classic, concrete floors and community tables. The King Shrimp serves two or more unless you are a big, big eater. 
The shrimp are stuffed into the toasted French bread. When you you open the package at least a dozen plus shrimp fall out. These are not farmed shrimp from China but wild shrimp from the waters of the Gulf, a taste unmatched anywhere! You have to love the batter and the fresh taste which makes you think they were caught yesterday. Getting a New Orleans po-boy dressed means you want lettuce, tomato, pickle and mayo. Refills are included in the drink price and you can take one to go. Crabby Jack has made his own plastic Mardi Gras cups with his likeness on the 28 oz. cup. You ain’t gonna get thirsty here.
There are other things on the menu, but my choice is always the same, King Shrimp. Seating at community tables, not uncommon in New Orleans sandwich shops, affords the opportunity to meet new people on each visit. Trust me some will be characters! Its an easy drive from Oschner Hospital or anywhere in the Carrollton or University area. The size of the portions make it a favorite with students. You will have to check out the decor, lets call it bottle cap art with color.
