Neil Gaiman on NOLA Restaurants

June 29th, 2006 by Loki

One of my all time favorite authors, Neil Gaiman, was in NOLA recently for the ALA Convention. While he did not get out to see much of the city he did dine out a bit with local guide Poppoy Z. Brite.

Neil Gaiman - Neil Gaiman’s Journal: why I am not a restaurant critic…

So I had two of the best meals of my life in New Orleans. The Cafe Adelaide meal was one of the three best Top Restaurant Experiences I’ve ever had. And then, two days later, at the Delachaise, I had one of the best food times I can remember. Poppy’s husband Chris is a chef, and I don’t get to see him very often (and I like him) so when Poppy told me he couldn’t eat with us as he’d be working that night one one of us suggested we go and eat where he cooks, and let him feed us. And so we did.

Zotz / Dragon’s Den

June 18th, 2006 by Loki

Via the New Orleans Livejournal Community, leave comments there.

New Orleans -Zotz Downtown Opens It is the location of the old Cafe Siam (to the best of our knowledge the previous owner went to Thailand after the hurricane and his cooks to Laos. Dragon’s Den will be reopening in a similar vein upstairs later this month or the next. The kitchen is closed until at least the fall - it was scary back there.)

Now that is a combination I can really get behind! Zotz and the Dragon’s den cohabitating? Hell yeah! We might be a ble to rekindle the “third space,” feeling that has been so absent from the Quarter since the days of Kaldi’s.
