The Pauper's Plate

New Orleans has tons of big name chefs and restaurants, but it's the Mom-and-Pops and neighborhood spots that really make this city simmer. Not only do local digs have the best dishes, but they're usually easier on the wallet.

Red Beans and Rice with Fried Chicken for $7? Yes, please! Did you say Soft Shell Crab with Spicy Tomato Aoili for less than $10? I'll take one of those, too!

Plus the cooks here are our neighbors, friends, and family - folks we wouldn't mind sharing a long, laugh-filled lunch with anyway. Why not stop by for a chat (and a great over-stuffed poboy)?

So, consider this a spotlight on what I think are the best of what local, New Orleans dining has to offer - loaded plates, budget-friendly prices, and a maybe even a fun story or two!
