If you could recommend any 5 New Orleans restaurants to someone, what would they be? Can be anything from cheap hole-in-the-wall places to high-end Commanders/August-type places. I guess this question kinda aligns itself with another question: What are your 5 favorite places to eat in New Orleans?

Sadly, the only restaurant I've visited on any of those lists is Galatoires.
My wife does not appreciate fine dining and simply doesn't appreciate good food. She likes to hit the gym and is paranoid because her mother is overweight. Just about every time we go out to eat she orders grilled chicken or a salad and water. She literally cried once in a restaurant because I made her order actual food (I told her even if she ordered a salad, I was still ordering her a real meal). While I spend money like water, she is the thriftiest person I ever met - so if we go to Galatoire's she complains for a week about how much it cost.
Eating (and cooking) good food is one of my greatest joys. I will make it my life's mission to visit each and every restaurant listed in this thread if I have to drag my wife kicking and screaming, or go alone. Bookmarked this thread. FML.
