We’re eating our way through New Orleans. Restaurants this week included Korea House, Taceaux Loceaux, Mr. Ed’s, Whole Foods and CC’s. Plus, we went to the New Orleans Oyster Festival (more pix).

We hit up the salad bar and deli at @WholeFoods/@WFM_louisiana for a quick lunch. The deli in Metairie is significantly bigger than the Uptown one.

-
CC’s (@CommunityCoffee) for iced coffee.

And then back to Whole Foods (@WFM_louisiana) for a wine and cheese tasting. Disclosure: Whole Foods invited us and supplied the wine and cheese for the participants, who were primarily writers and bloggers.

Seaglass Santa Barbara – what pinot noir is supposed to taste like, per Rob the wine man at #wholefoods. #nola -
So @wholefoodsmarket is having a twitter wine tasting tomorrow night. Wines are $10 to $16. #nola #wholefoods -
The delice and seaside cheddar were delish.

Nice, organized cheese plate from #wholefoods. #nola -
Our photo proof that we don’t eat out for every single meal …

Making watermelon agua fresca. Nice and refreshing. #drink -
Tacos from @TLNOLA. Mmmm. That brisket is good.

Oh, @CreoleCreamery, how we love you.

Checked out @BackSpaceNOLA in the Quarter. Maybe our expectations were too high, but the joint didn’t live up to its literary hype. We found it to be a regular bar with a bit of literary decor. But, the bartender was fast so points for that.

We’re hiding from the rain. #backspacebar #nola -
Our first absinthe drink – a champagne & absinthe cocktail. Like bubbly, black licorice. $10. #nola -
Sad to see typos in a menu at a supposed bookworm bar. #backspacebar #nola -
Back to Metairie for dinner. Korea House didn’t look like much from the street, but the food was good and affordable. It also has center grills in the tables where you can cook your own BBQ. We plan to go back and try that out.

We checked out Mr. Ed’s in Bucktown after reading on @Yelp about its famous fried chicken. We weren’t disappointed. Four big pieces, fries/potato salad, buttered toast and salad for $13. The potato salad is made in-house as well as the delicious blue cheese salad dressing. And, the sweet tea was good. We’ll be back for more.
