Be'same
Be’same is a latin tapas restaurant. This was a great place to dine with my new friend. Our visit was a late night eat, after a full day or exploring New Orleans and for me, was worth the wait. I have to admit, I know that pork is not considered the healthiest meat; however, it’s still one of my favorites. There were several interesting options and I decided on Cochinita

Willa Jean
Well you know, a girl’s gotta brunch! You know when there is a line, it must be good. And…I visited Willa Jean twice. Once for brunch and also my last travel day, where I purchased a cappuccino and a pastry to-go. Brunch favorites there included:
Hangover bowl
short rib + cheesy grits + onion + garlic + potatoes + egg
Avocado toast
And because I am such a foodie, I had to also show you my friend’s breakfast. Not your usual Avocado Toast
fresh cheese + tomato + pickle serrano + shallot + arugula + sunflower everything spice+poached egg

Mulate's
I was invited to dinner with new friends I met through a women’s travel community called Wanderful. Upon entering Mulate’s, it was a busy place with adequate seating and bar areas. It was a very busy Friday night not to mention live music.
BBQ Shrimp
new orleans style bbq shrimp+green beans+mashed potatoes
Bread Pudding
famous bread pudding with rum sauce
Mulate’s did not disappoint with “Famous bread pudding with Rum sauce“. If you are counting calories — it’s okay, this is certainly a reason to splurge and treat yourself. And if you aren’t able to travel to New Orleans and want to try it, check out the link below for the recipe:
