Where NOLA Eats

Greetings, New Orleans food fans! This week, Ian McNulty takes us on a tour of new options on Freret Street's restaurant row.  The one-meal staycation can be a quick mental escape from the hot New Orleans summer.  Junebug on Camp Street aims to meet late-night diners where they are. A Biloxi chef made a splash at Mr. Mao, and home cooks can grab Turkey and the Wolf's fabled bologna for sandwiches at home. Finally, Liz Williams has recipes for a pasta salad with fresh green beans and prosciutto for summer lunch al fresco.

1. What's new?

Since the rebirth of Freret Street's commercial stretch as a modern restaurant row, the options have been in constant flux. Ian has an update on new additions, including a modern steakhouse and Korean fried chicken.

 2. When summer gets old.

Need a break from New Orleans in summer? Consider the one-meal staycation to Spain, California wine country or a German beer garden. The temporary lift from the dregs of a local summer at these restaurants will take you far, far away — at least in your imagination.

3. Wait! There's more.

A renowned former recording studio is being overhauled to fill a need on Camp Street as a late-night bar and restaurant, Junebug.  The James Beard-nominated chef from Biloxi, Austin Sumrall, impresses the hungry masses at Mr. Mao. And if you love Turkey and the Wolf's bologna sandwich, you can now make it at home.

4. Pack a picnic.

Fresh green beans with pasta and prosciutto are delicious for a casual meal outdoors. Add a rye quickbread you make yourself and brandied peaches for a summer feast, with recipes compliments of Liz Williams.   

In New Orleans, the food news never stops. Keep up with all the inside info at Where NOLA Eats.

The Must Read

Need a break from New Orleans? Try these 'one-meal staycations' at restaurants, and a pub

It did not hurt that Bar Pomona had Tour de France coverage playing on TVs around the small room, with schools of competitors swooping through gorgeous mountain passes. This was exactly where we needed to be, I thought, reaching for the glass of properly chilled Beaujolais, a red wine from the same region where the tour was progressing. Read more

What to cook

Green beans and pasta with prosciutto and a rye quick bread are perfect for a meal al fresco

Midsummer takes us outside. We are at the beach, we picnic in parks and we eat in our backyards. We want to have fresh food that breaks through the heat and tastes good at the ambient temperature. No one wants to be making things hotter. Read more
