Parasols Bar

Yesterday we enjoyed some local cuisine and visited Parasols Bar, an Irish pub of sorts which was featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Dives, and Drive-Ins. This one classifies as a dive; it was pretty rough looking. But Guy said they had killer po boys and muffalattas so we had to try it out! Our friend, Dustin, tagged along and we all enjoyed ourselves. Dustin and Jackie got roast beef po boys and I got half a muffalatta. Jackie and I split some cheesy fries with gravy. It was all very delicious! Just ignore those bullet-shaped holes in the door as you walk in.

Later last night Dustin and his wife, Rachel, came over and we watch the National Championship game together and enjoyed my first ever king cake! It was delicious, as well.

So New Orleans definitely has it's downsides what with the crime running amuck and all but wowee, the food!
