The heat melted us so we fought back with refreshing Mediterranean food. We bopped on over to @CourtyardNOLA for the tastiest gyros we’ve had so far in New Orleans. Plus, the AC was nice and cold.

New in NOLA’s Margaret and Chapman introduced us to Cajun Seafood. Read about the Broadmoor restaurant on NOLA.com. It serves up boiled seafood and some Asian dishes. You buy the seafood by the pound and take it elsewhere to eat.

Hit up Cajun Seafood in Broadmoor for dinner tonight. #nola -
These boiled shrimp were so tasty. And, by the way, a bag from @RousesMarkets makes the perfect disposable placemat.

We also ordered a few snow crab legs. Nom nom nom.

Oh, and the sides … The corn and potatoes were delicious. Our lips were on fire afterward but it was a good burn.

The corn from Cajun Seafood is so good. #nola -
We celebrated @HaleyCrum’s first week in New Orleans with lunch at @StJamesCheese. The place was slammed Sunday. We concentrated on sandwiches during this visit, but we plan to introduce Haley to the tasty cheese plates.
