| Bar Review: The Bulldog (Southern Louisiana) |
| 2010-10-26 22:29:00 |
Accept no substitutes, The Bulldog, is where it's at. (And, yes, you can bring your Bulldog, Doberman, Shepard, or tea cup Poodle to the bar.) With a rough, but shiny hardwood interior that cries out "pub" rather than "bar," this locals joint has fifty different beers and ciders from around the world on tap, and several more exotic varieties still in the bottle. The exterior has been redesigned since Hurricane Katrina with a unique fountain feature that's sure to warm any beer lover's heart. Proceeds from the fountain are given to the local SPCA, but if you really want to help fido out, then you should come on Wednesday's, order a pint, and keep the glass it came in. After you rack up enough of them, you can bring them back, and they'll donate even more!And while I'm not a big drinker...

| Food Review: Voodoo Barbque (Southern Louisiana) |
| 2008-12-14 22:06:00 |
Voodoo Barbque has emerged as a chain of bar-b-que joints throughout the Southern Louisiana region. They have taken the place of such chains like "Luther's" who collapsed after Hurricane Katrina. The food featured is very home-style with a distinctly New Orleans feel to it. I recommend their beef brisket.You can check them out all over, but the best one is on St. Charles.1501 Saint Charles AveNew Orleans, LA 70130(504) 522-4647...

| Food Review: Taqueria Corona in Metairie, LA |
| 2008-09-11 22:33:00 |
Taqueria Corona ("King of Taco Shops", or "King's Tacos") is a fine treat that's been raved about in Gambit, Zagat, and numerous other publications locally and nationally. Currently with 2 locations, both the Uptown and Metairie restaurants offer authentic Mexican cuisine that's delicious, but won't bust your wallet. (I recommend the Chicken Enchilada!)3535 Severn Ave # 6Metairie, LA 70002(504) 885-5088...

| Food Review: Corky's in Metairie, LA |
| 2008-09-06 14:15:00 |
Corky's Bar-b-Que is located on the main strip in Metairie, Veteran's Memorial Boulvard. The restaurant might normally be passed by as it appears to be just another "fast food" chain when you're driving. But don't be confused, this place offers delicious options that you can't get at any Burger King or Mickey D's. (I suggest trying the overloaded baked potatoes or the onion ring loafs!) The prices are also reasonable compared to the portions given, so don't worry about breaking your pocket book either.4243 Veterans Memorial BlvdMetairie, LA 70006(504) 887-5000...

| Food Review: Oki Nago in Metairie, LA |
| 2008-08-22 19:41:00 |
If you *love* a good Japanese buffet, then Oki Nago is the best place for you! It's an all you can eat Japanese buffet with hand-made sushi, and cooked to order hibachi included in the price. There's also all kinds of seafood offered. The prices are also great considering what you're being offered, and it's ALL YOU CAN EAT!

| Food Review: China Rose in Metairie, LA |
| 2008-08-17 00:29:00 |
I originally knew them as Ming Palace before Hurricane Katrina. I loved them best for their Crab Rangoon and Beef Fried Rice, and for the super late night hours that they kept.China Rose has since bought out the location and continued their originator's tasty tradition. With an expanded menu, and new decor, the Metairie location offers all delights of it's predecessor with merely a change of name.China Rose3501 N Arnoult Rd Metairie, LA 70002 (504) 887-3295...

| Where the Wild Women Go... |
| 2008-07-30 18:26:00 |
I've kind of been hiding out under a rock lately, and I sincerely apologize. I actually sold my super-duper-neato camera to go on a trip to NYC last month, so a lack of pictures has meant a lack of posting. I've also been doing a plethora of stagehand work lately on projects I should probably be reporting on as well. I'm hoping that in the next month or so, I'll be able to afford a nice, slim, el-cheapo camera to take with me on my day-to-day excursions.With all that said, if you want to check out some photos I've taken on past travels.

| Take a "Cheesy" Journey... |
| 2008-07-27 23:01:00 |
For those with fromage on the mind, you're probably already familiar with the likes of Gordonzola. A cheesemonger who's been "working for the past 12 yrs with San Francisco's largest independent grocery store." He definitely has a lot to say about curds n' whey.Recently he returned from a week long buyers trip to France and took some MAGNIFICENT pictures of many of the factories that produce some of the most popular imported cheeses around. My personal favorite, the mimolettes getting a brine bath. (I'm drooling on my keyboard right now.)...

| A Cause for a Cure |
| 2008-07-27 19:27:00 |
When I was 12 yrs old my Great-Grandmother died of Alzheimer's Disease. I can still remember sitting in her room at my Grandparents house and playing with the geodes and figures on her bookshelf while wrapped in a hand-crotched afghan.I'm now 24 yrs old and my Grandmother has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. A recent CAT scan concluded that she's lose roughly 80% of her right brain function. She's still coherent, but often doesn't realize who the person she's talking to is. (My Father, her son, included.)For those of you who aren't familiar with Alzheimer's, it's a common type of dementia that currently has no cure that usually on-sets in seniors aged 65 or older. Diagnosis of the disease is often difficult, and many who have it often go undiagnosed for years. When it's actually id...

| Get with the picture... |
| 2008-07-26 20:21:00 |
I've managed to accumulate a lot of photos in the past 5 yrs. And I'm not talking some "myspace-worth" shots either. I know that I'm one of many people who when they travel, or just leave the house, and see a gorgeous sunset or a nice bit of nature, that you feel compelled to take a photograph. Eventually these photos start to overrun your hard drive, and often spill over into external drives. You don't want to delete them, but at the same time, you need to put them "somewhere". I'd suggest you'd do, what I've been doing for 2 yrs now....Sell them online.How?While you might not be the next "Ansel Adams", many sites will broker a nice picture of a skyline because someone out there needs it for some proposal, broscure, etc. These sites off the images "royalty-free" meaning that when th...
