WHO DAT @ Tracy's

Need a good spot to watch the season opener Saints game this week? 

Head on over to Tracy's on third!

Tracy's is a relaxed Garden District Bar and Restaurant that has dozens of flat screens and serves phenomenal roast beef po boys, which isn't surprising considering it's owned by the previous owners of Parasol's (as you can see by the parasols hanging from the ceiling).

 

Their debris fries are also delicious, and even better with nice cold beer.

So if you're looking for a great sports bar to scream WHO DAT in this thursday, definitely consider Tracy's. But make sure to get there early so you score a table!

Bon Appetite! 

Chill Out Cafe

 Have you been on the hunt for a NOLA noodle house? Look no further than Chill Out Cafe!  It is about time I wrote about this spot, as it is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the city. For my OffBeat column this week I wrote Cheap and Chill at Chill Out Cafe, a rave review of their fabulous noodles and Asian Fusion Fare.

Their Pad Thai (shown above) is always a wonderful option, but nothing compared to their spicy Pad Kee Mao (below). 

And their sweet and savory Pad See Ewe will have you day dreaming about noodles for weeks.

Cheap, fresh, affordable, and de-licious! Read more about it here: Cheap and Chill at Chill Out Cafe and tell me what you think! 

Hungryheretic Homemaker Tips & Tricks: Ironing

Though this is technically a food blog, I had to make an exception to share this incredible trick with yall. I'm no Martha Stewart, but I have a few homemaker tricks and shortcuts up my sleeve, especially when it comes to ironing. Like many others, I HATE ironing. It's heavy, annoying, and knowing my clumsiness, dangerous. For years I straightened out my wrinkly blouses with a straightening iron (seriously)  until I discovered wrinkle release spray! This wonderful spray bottle holds a magical potion that will make even the most wrinkly shirt presentable, and it only costs a few bucks!

You can easily and safely make this miraculous concoction at home. All you need is water, fabric softener and a spray bottle. Simply drop two capfuls of fabric softener in the spray bottle and fill the rest with water.

Check out what the generic brand looks like in my newest video clip. Enjoy!

Who Needs Roscoe's When We Got Russell's!

After spending a week back in the Mecca of Chicken N Waffles I had a mean hankering for this dynamic duo.

Though in Cali you have to go to the hood to get some of Roscoe's famous Chicken and Waffles, here in Nola you gotta go to Lakeview. Lakeview is just about the antithesis of the hood, so it is pretty ironic that Russell's Marina Grill (a favorite among Metairie elderly) serves up this semi-stigmatized dish. But damn do they do it well! Russel would make Roscoe proud, if he wasn't stealing his business. No need to fly all the way out to LA for this breakfast, we got it in our own back yard! To read more about Russell's fried chicken and waffles check out my article for OffBeat Magazine: Chicken n Waffles: Watch Out, Roscoe.

If you're more or a traditional breakfast person Russell's also has great sausage and poaches their eggs just right!

Not to mention their bangin sweet potato pancakes! I'm drooling just looking at this pic. For more information read Chicken n Waffles: Watch Out, Roscoe.
