One in the French market quarter and one that just opened on magazine.

Decent food nice people; desperate for business.

They must be desperate to go on this show. They (Tamborine Green and Kid Creole-the owners) said they'd been open only 60 days. In about 5 minutes, he said he could "see a gnat piss in cotton" on the screens they're watching because they're big and she's already said "what the ef!"

ETA: watched it. This one is funny, but these shows don't do much for Nola tourism. Not a place I want to eat, although Tamborine is hilarious. She might change my mind if I thought she'd be there. Hell, she might be an actress too.

She sure can over act.

The Frech Market location was on an episode of Heat Seakers last night.

Terrible name. Awful menu, it's an embarrassment to the resto trade. Total tourist trap, but the Mag St location is in a location not overflowing with clueless tourists, so I don't know how it's surviving. Mishmash list of "Cajun and Creole" food without any real comprehension on the part of the kitchen of what either cuisine entails.

Skip it and go to Casamentos instead, or to Magasin across the street, or Dominique Macquets new place. How disasters like this place survive is a mystery to me.

Very funny show, those 2 could be a comedy series. They should just use the place as a front for a pilot. I love the 'world famous N'Awlins (I hate that expression) Cafe' that's been open 60 days. They must have one hell of a PR department.

At least we know how all the bad servers and bartenders get hired.

We walk past there all the time . . . on the way to someplace decent to eat. It's sad that the French place that was there previously couldn't quite make it. Under-capitalized.

Apparently, this one hasn't yet survived. I have a feeling it won't.

Just the name in that location is turn off and the fact that they insist that's how the locals pronounce the name of the city is a joke. Anderson Cooper likes to say it that way, also.
