Just a quick note on restaurants. Liz and I got to visit Brigtsen's in New Orleans again this weekend. We've been all over this country in our quest to never miss a meal. From our incredible experiences at the Inn at Little Washington in Virginia, Il Mulino in New York, and many others, we seem to always come back to Brigtsen's as our favorite.
We got to have a nice conversation with Frank Brigtsen and his wife. They've kept it small and they're always there. It's not cheap, but compared to many around the country it's a huge bargain. The food is creative and often just stunning. There are many great restaurants in New Orleans, (at last count I'd eaten at about 150 of them - there are many I love) Some are rated higher at different times. The hot ones come and go. Sometimes you'll get a great meal in a restaurant, then return to find it was a fluke.
But, for my money, year in year out, for 22 years now - Brigtsens is simply the best. Anywhere. It's consistency, service, atmosphere, and food leave you feeling about as happy as a restaurant can make you. Go.
