Clearly, this was brunch. The doors opened at 11 a.m. What looked like bachelorette party survivors tumbled in with Sunday morning hair. The waiter offered coffee, while the drink list strongly suggested a different path with selections dubbed “the hard stuff.”Yet there was not a poached egg in sight, no pain perdu to be found, not a hint of hollandaise. Can this still be brunch?

We have religious holidays and national holidays and, in Louisiana, what I’ve come to understand as holidays that fall somewhere between structured tradition and the customs we create together. Of course, food is central, and crawfish is right there at a special confluence of our culture and the calendar. Easter weekend opens the high time of Louisiana boiled crawfish, extending through the Mother’s Day boil and the Father’s Day boil.

What might one find in a strip mall outside a small Gulf Coast town? In Ocean Springs, I found a dish I'd never tried before at a restaurant where a chef is making bold moves around local food.

It will soon be time for final credits at a New Orleans brewery that turned a historic movie theater into a magnet for shows and community events in addition to its eclectic craft beers. Zony Mash Beer Project (3940 Thalia St.) has announced it is closing, with its final day scheduled for June 1. The brewery and its taproom remain open until then, serving Wednesday through Sunday, and events continue in the coming weeks.

It seemed like the end of the road for Anita’s Grill when the old school diner finally closed in 2024 after nearly 70 years. But now a new Anita’s is preparing to open in a different location, this time downtown, in a building with its own vintage character. This rendition of Anita's Grill will be in the ground floor of the Howard, the flat iron-shaped building at 833 Howard Ave. It’s slated to open around the middle of May, pending permitting. It will be operated by Sean McCormick.

There was not a poached egg in sight, no pain perdu to be found, not a hint of hollandaise. Can this still be brunch? Then the dim sum and cocktails started rolling at Mister Mao for brunch on different terms, with a screaming deal built in https://t.co/2IxR7weHPH
