    New Orleans Lands 2 Restaurants On Esquire’s Best Of List

    2 Min Read

    When it comes to food, it’s hard to leave Louisiana off any list. Esquire recently listed the year’s Best New Restaurants in America, an annual list of the most remarkable food destinations in the United States.

    New Orleans placed two eateries on the list, which is   

    featured in the Winter 2023 issue, available on retailer shelved by December 5.Here’s what Esquire had to say about:

    Dakar Nola

    Dakar Nola restaurant in New Orleans

    “A meal at Dakar Nola comes with stories. With each course of the tasting menu, chef Serigne Mbaye comes out of the kitchen to address the room. All of this happens in the front room of a traditional shotgun house, which makes the night feel like a dinner party that is as fun as it is enlightening.”

    Read our guide on Dakar Nola.

    Hungry Eyes (New Orleans)

    “Eating at 80s-themed Hungry Eyes feels like you’ve stepped into a music video by Duran Duran. The Patrick Nagel pop art on the walls, the pink neon glow from the mirror behind the bar—it’s lit. Literally. The team has cooked up a lively, stonery DIY dinner menu. Who are they? The same folks who brought you NOLA’s stoner darling, Turkey & the Wolf.”

    Final Word

    New Orleans has one of the best restaurant scenes in the Southeast, and with state of Southern cooking and an emphasis on the culinary arts at an all-time high, that’s saying something.

    When New Orleans’ food is mentioned on a national level, it somehow always reverts back to gumbo, which is the best around, although the city’s eateries certainly represent those dishes well, there’s so much more.

  • How to cook a turkey New Orleans style.

    How To Cook a Turkey New Orleans-Style

    3 Min Read

    Let’s say you have no plans to go to your favorite New Orleans restaurant for Thanksgiving. That means cooking a turkey at home is the way to go.

    In this article, we’ll show you a simple way to cook a turkey at home. Following these steps, your bird will be done in no time.

    Because we’re in New Orleans, we’re going to cook a New Orleans-style turkey, which means we’ll season it with Joe’s Stuff Original Seasoning, one of our favorites.

    Turkey can be cooked in a variety of ways, making it a versatile ingredient for many dishes. It can be roasted, grilled, smoked, or braised. It can also be used in salads, sandwiches, and soups.

    How To Cook a Turkey: New Orleans-Style Recipe

    When cooking turkey, your goal is to achieve a heat that gives you a texture that is both tender and juicy. White meat, which is found on the breast, is lower in fat and therefore more prone to drying out. Dark meat, which is found on the legs and thighs, has more fat and is therefore more moist and flavorful.

    Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to cook a turkey:

    Ingredients:

    • 1 turkey, thawed and patted dry
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 onion, quartered
    • 1 lemon, quartered
    • 1 bunch of fresh herbs, such as thyme, sage, and rosemary

    Equipment:

    • Roasting pan
    • Roasting rack
    • Meat thermometer
    • Baster
    • Aluminum foil

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
    2. Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey cavity and discard.
    3. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
    4. Rub the turkey with softened butter.
    5. Rub the turkey down with Joe’s Stuff Original Seasoning.
    6. Season the turkey with salt, pepper, and herbs.
    7. Stuff the turkey cavity with the onion, lemon, and herbs.
    8. Place the turkey on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
    9. Roast the turkey for 3 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
    10. Baste the turkey with pan juices every 30 minutes.
    11. Cover the turkey with aluminum foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to prevent it from drying out.
    12. Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.

    Enjoy your delicious roast turkey!

    Final Word

    Cooking a turkey can seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually quite simple, and sort of like making gumbo. When cooked properly, turkey can be a very delicious and flavorful meat. 

    Make sure you enhance the turkey’s flavor by adding your choice of herbs and spices. Common seasonings for turkey include salt, pepper, sage, rosemary, thyme, and garlic.

The jerk salmon was a great portion and tasted amazing. Get the sweet & spicy sauce! The rice and peas were so delicious and fluffy. The mac & cheese was a little different than what I’m used to lol it’s more of a spaghetti base but it was good. Highly recommend will definitely get when I’m back in town again.”

    “It was a great performance by our offense. Eight touchdowns on eight possessions; what more can you say.”

    For GSU, quarterback Darren Grainger threw for 178 yards and a touchdown, but he was harassed all night.

    Meanwhile LSU wideout Malik Nabers caught eight receptions for 140 yards and two touchdowns. Fellow wideout Brian Thomas Jr. had four receptions for 103 yards and one touchdown. Kyren Lacy had five receptions for 101 yards and two touchdowns.

  • How to save money on car insurance in New Orleans

    How To Save Money On Car Insurance In 2024

    3 Min Read

    The new year should be about no longer wasting money. And you should start with car insurance.

    In this article, we’re going to present several ways that you can lower your car insurance rate.

    We’ve done the research for you so all you have to do is get ready to save money.

    How To Lower Your Auto Insurance Fast

    You can be successful in lowering your car insurance by looking at your personal situation.

    Car insurance companies penalize drivers under age 25 because they rely on statistics and reports that say that motorists younger than that age are responsible for the most accidents, but the truth is that they feel those drivers are more likely to be helped by their parents.

    Drop Full Coverage On Your Older Vehicle

    If you own an older model, you don’t have to pay for comprehensive and collision insurance, also known as full coverage.

    It’s very possible that you can get by with just liability insurance once you’ve paid off your car note. The savings can be as much as 70%!

    Maintain Good Credit

    One of the ways car insurance companies determine your rate is by looking at your credit score. A poor score will have you paying more for auto insurance.

    Do all you can to raise your credit score. Here’s what your score needs to be.

    That means the insurers feel confident that the high rates can be absorbed by dual income people who feel obligated to help their son or daughter with insurance costs. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just lower your insurance payments altogether? Here are some ways to do just that.

    Bundle Your Auto And Home Insurance

    The quickest way to drop your rate is to bundle your auto and home insurance. If you don’t have a home and live in an apartment, see if you can bundle your renter’s insurance.

    Insurance companies have an incentive to lower your rate if you give them more of your business.

    Ask For Discounts

    When you contact an auto insurance company, make sure you ask for discounts. If you’re a member of any organization or even your employer may qualify you for a discount on your insurance.

    Get Several Insurance Quotes

    Never settle for just one insurance quote when you’re shopping for a rate. Always contact several insurance companies and write down their quotes.

    Once you feel you’ve gotten enough insurance quotes, take a look at your list and compare prices. This way, you’re sure to choose the lowest insurance rate.

    Last Words

    With gas prices sky-high right now, it’s time to think about other ways to save on your automobile. Are you paying too much for car insurance?

    Getting a lower insurance rate is super important today because prices continue to creep upward. Remember to comparison shop so that you can make sure you’re getting the best rate.

    If saving money is something you’re serious about, NolaFi.com has a lot of resources to help you.

    Addis NOLA Relocates To Bayou Road

    The new venue is in the space formerly occupied by Cajun King.

    “We’re excited to open in our new space and take Addis NOLA to the next level,” said general manager Prince Lobo, who runs Addis NOLA with his mother/founder Dr. Biruk Alemayehu and father chef Jaime Lobo. “Opening on Bayou Road, the Black Wall Street of New Orleans, allows us to embrace our culturally-rich community and shine a spotlight on one of the best-kept secrets in American History.”

    A staple among New Orleans’ black-owned restaurants, Addis NOLA is owned and operated by the Alemayehu family.

    What’s On The Menu At Addis NOLA?

    The restaurant’s menu consists of authentic Ethiopian dishes like:

    1. Veggie Combo
    One of the most wholesome and healthy options on the menu, the all-vegan, veggie combo gives diners a little taste of everything with red lentils, yellow split peas, collard greens, cabbage with carrots, green lentils, and potatoes.

    2. Doro Wot
    One of the true crown jewels of Ethiopian cuisine. This is a full-flavored wholesome dish that makes for a truly special meal. White breast meat chicken slowly simmered with caramelized onions in a blend of robust spices and a boiled egg just for fun!

    3. Special Kitfo or Addis Special Appetizer
    An Ethiopian-style steak tartare dish to behold before it begone. A creative, elegant, and truly amazing dish that marinates prime ground beef with herbal butter mixed with Ethiopian spices, collard greens, and house-made cheese.

The music is loud and fun, but you can still have a conversation. The lamb tibs was my favorite, and my partner loved the chickpeas. Don’t sleep on the coffee or the spiced iced tea, either!
