I was there for almost a week. I arrived with a cold. Imagine being
in NO and not being able to taste anything for three days :< Is that
hell, or what?

Never made it to the French Quarter (we were in the Warehouse
District). Eventually, I did manage to enjoy a couple of lunches.
One of the buffets had fried alligator. I think they just fried
chicken pieces and told us it was alligator ("Ha! Les tourists..."),
because it tasted like chicken :>

In consolation for not being able to enjoy the food to the fullest, I
bought a small cookbook. I probably won't make anything in it but I
needed something...

If you want to see what's going on at Bourbon Street, check out the
webcam at bigeasy.com (At this moment there is a big green garbage
truck in the way.)
