So, last night…..I had, hands down, the best meal of my life. We went to Commander’s Palace, a fabulous, apparently Creole, restaurant in the Garden District. (I was noticing at breakfast, that since arriving here yesterday, every menu I’ve seen refers to both “Cajun” and “Creole” cuisine – and much as most of us wouldn’t really think of “Country” without “Western”, I look at “Cajun” and “Creole” and similarly conclude I have no clue of the distinction between the two. Luckily, I have til next Wednesday to figure that out.)

Ah, Commander's...never been there or Brennan's. Can check off Galatoire's, Delmonico, Arnaud's, Emeril's in the Warehouse district and of course Cafe du Monde and Pat O's. Stick to Sazeracs. No Hurricanes unless you enjoy being hung over.
Beth, go to Brennan's for brunch if you can. It was a great experience though it can burn a hole in your pocket (~ $60/ person). :o The banana foster is out of this world.
