Day 15 in NOLA

Day 15 was a little low-key... not much to report. I had a selection of small plates at Ignatius for lunch and spent a lot of time just wandering around the Garden District. For dinner, I visited Herbsaint and sat at the bar (sitting at the bar for dinner has become one of my favourite things).

I chose Herbsaint because it's run by Donald Link - the same man behind Cochon and Cochon Butcher (which I adored). But the meal at Herbsaint was just meh. I had the gumbo of the day and a nice salad with a buttermilk blue cheese dressing (very nice), but my shrimp and grits were beyond disappointing. Overcooked shrimp, dried out grits with soggy okra.

Luckily, the evening was redeemed when I caught the tail-end of street show by the TBC Brass Band (again!).
