Anthony Bourdain - Antoine's in New Orleans

[mace9697]

I went there in July and the place was packed. I had the baked Alaska that you could see them working on several times during the episode, which, after a huge meal was a little hard to take on, but I'm proud to say i got about half way through it. :)

Finding a white guy in New Orleans is probably tough... Sometimes you have to look twice at a white guy to know if he is or not. Like the waiter there he was talking to.... You could tell he's creole. At first I thought he was white. I think it's great though. I think the entire world should be creole.

@PhantomLyric How can you tell?

[PhantomLyric]

@TheBellaTenenbaum If you look at him closely, he looks Italian. Many creoles often do. He could very well be italian. Back in the 50s, there were a number of Italian "business men." cough cough... running several parts of New Orleans. all through out New Orleans. I know they weren't natives. Mostly immigrants. So if he was born there, my guess his mother is either black/creole, or Italian herself but his voice and vernacular give it away. There's no Italian precision but I could be wrong..

@PhantomLyric Oh cool! Thanks for that

I just watched this show, and there was I part I just caught the end of, showing a guy who lived on a cool looking "shantyboat", or houseboat. I didn't catch his name......anyone remember? Thanks

Tom Fitzmorris has never been the voice of food in New Orleans. He claims to be and has a radio show but the locals ignore him.

I love Antoine's, we spent a few days there having lunch and appetizers in the bar area and having amazing cocktails for our honeymoon. The restaurant and dining areas are amazing!!!

[neworleander]

Antoine's is truely terrible. I've given them many chances and I'm through. Everyone in the city knows why their dining rooms are empty, they deserve to close.

I disagree. Antoine's is a symbol of what New Orleans is- when the Times-Picayune announced in December 2006 that Antoine's might close, the New Orleans Old Guard all showed up for dinner. It's about the attitude of the New Orleanian- an attitude of enjoyment. And it's delicious.

I can eat everything on the menu and probably have come close to doing that! Louisiana Residents need to re-discover the French Quarter and all it has to offer!

I hope they're doing well, would be a shame to see such a unique and historic restaurant go out of business.
