In case you didn't know, I-LOVE-TO-EAT. I wish I could say the same for working out right now, but that's another story. I enjoy various cuisines and trying new things and thrive on finding "new eats." A big part of why I love trying new foods is growing up in a diverse cultural state like Hawaii. This opened up my eyes and taste buds to explore various kinds of foods. Luckily, the love of my life shared the same passion, food. We have been fortunate enough to have traveled quite a bit in his 20+ year military career that allowed us to live in so many different cities, therefore, trying new food! Today we ventured out to Nola, we've been seeing this place pop up on our Instagram Feed and since trying our first beignet in a food truck in Austin, we have been on the lookout for some closer to us. From the menu we tried: The Classic Beignets, A La Carte Pancakes & Sausage, The Nola Brunch Plate (Scrambled Eggs, Grits, Fried Green Tomato, Praline Bacon), Bread Pudding French Toast, and a side of Fried Oysters. (I know random choice by the hubby). The verdict: Yum, Yum, Yum! I enjoyed Rudy's choice of the Nola Brunch Plate, those grits tho were delicious! This is the first time I've had "fried" oysters, I usually like them raw or slightly grilled. So I was wondering how the breading would hold because oysters are juicy and retain water. My verdict, it was alright. I think it's because I like them more fresh. All in all, I enjoyed this quaint little eatery. I've got a few more food adventures that were discovered this week alone. Till then, Happy Eating!
