Zeke's
Blogging New Orleans
May 24th 2006 5:30PM I am the Phil in which Heidi speaks, and I'm here to back up every word of her review of Zeke's Restaurant. That country fried double cut porkchop was so incredibly awesome, I'd marry it if there wasn't a law against it. Is there a law against it? I'll have to look into that, because if not, there's wedding bells in my future!!! I recommend everyone in the New Orleans area to put away those leftovers and head on out to Zeke's...Play the old-fashioned hand-crank claw machine (if you can get passed the dozen or so tiny tots surrounding it with wee l'il handfuls of their parent's quarters)!
And now, hypnosis: "You are getting hungry...HUUUNGRY...You want Zeke's...Yes, Zeeeeeeeeeke's...Go to Zeke's.....Yuuuuummmmmmm..."

Authentic Mexican Food?
Blogging New Orleans
May 11th 2006 11:23AM I think that instead of opening restaurants to cater to the new Mexican residents (who are only here to do the work and will probably leave soonafter), we should be finding ways to encourage displaced New Orleaneans back to the city, by making it affordable to return, and lowering the boom on all the landlords and property management companies who have jacked up rental prices so high in a hurricane ravaged city that it's impossible for the residents to return. WE should be conducting our own reconstruction, not Mexicans, many who are here undoubtably illegally and refuse to learn a lick of English, therefore cannot be communicated with. Encouraging the Mexicans to stay by opening authentic restaurants for them is NOT the answer to anything. Right now, more than ever, we need to keep our economy circulating within our local businesses, but how can we when local businesses are forced away and replaced by cheap foriegn labour? Let's cater to our own people first, get the job done, clean our own houses, and only then can we start thinking about newfangled ethnic restaurant ideas...
"Bones" in New Orleans
Blogging New Orleans
May 8th 2006 5:39PM Ya cher(giggle!), I, too, am from New Orleans, and I happened to have seen that episode. I laughed uproariously several times at the cheesiness of it all. People from around the country must think we're all uneducated inbred voodoo priest/priestess'. We are not inbred, nor are we all well versed in the practices of voodoo. We do, however, lack any educational standards, and this seems to have rubbed off on the scriptwriters whenever they attempt to tackle the location of New Orleans. The only TV show that came anywhere close was "The Simpsons," but then I'm a fan, therefore biased...
