Cafe Beignet

Another New Orleans meal! Good thing we don't live near here, or I wouldn't be down over a 100 pounds!

Cafe Beignet on Bourbon Street. This was Sunday night, and it was quite chilly (to Southerners, we were fine LOL) - so no one was out. There was a jazz trio called Steamboat Willie there, and we basically got a private concert, which was way cool.

I wanted breakfast for dinner, so I ordered a cheese omelet with grits on the side, plus a lovely warm coffee:


My sister had a warm muffaletta - and this was a half portion!!




Dessert was a wonderful strawberry shortbread tart. Two of my favorite things, shortbread and strawberries! Yum!

I love New Orleans and beignets!! I spent several evenings at Cafe du Monde (althogh Cafe Beignet is nice, too), enjoying great coffee and beautiful N'Awlins nights.

That cheese omelette looks really scrummy. I think I'd like maybe 1/8 of a muffaletta for dinner (those things are huge, but would have to scrape out the olive salad, which would just turn it into some sort of strange Italian hoagie. ;)
