Brennan's

The bread is lighter than air with a shattering crust. Leidenheimer. Très New Orleans. The butter is soft and sprinkled with a dusting of sea salt. The Bloody is thick with a slight kick and a hint of bitterness.

The seafood filé gumbo is out of this world.  Crab, shrimp, andouille, and oysters, thickened with filé. The seafood was perfectly tender, toothsome, melt-in-your-mouth delicious (none of that rubbery texture you sadly too often get). Miles above anything I've ever had.

For my main, I had the crispy fried oyster salad, whuch was lovely and light, but sadly not light enough to leave me room for the Southern pecan cake with rum reduction,  butterscotch sauce and candied bacon.
