I about died once when a NOLA local once told me Applebee's was his favorite place when asked. My friend drug me away crazy fast.
I disagree wholeheartedly. I've done no-ADR trips and still eaten at Sanaa, Boma, Crystal Palace, Rose & Crown, and others. Sure, you need to plan if you want SPECIFIC restaurants at SPECIFIC times, but you can definitely get quality sit-down meals same-day.
Agreed.
As being from Louisiana I would have had some choice words for that person!! Haha I NEVER (well extremely rarely as IHOP or Krystal burger were open at 6am and Cafe Du Monde was too far to walk faster being out all night lol and I don't do that anymore getting too old haha) eat at a chain restaurant when I go to NOLA!!! Especially coming from a local from NOLA that is absolutely absurd! I don't even go to Applebee's of all places In my home city in south Louisiana ever!! I go to some chains but never that one as haven eaten before and did not care for it.

I confess I have eaten there at IHOP too when most else was closed(not everything as you can always go to Cafe Du Monde for beignets 24/7 etc) or Krystal Burger! Other than that I always 98% eat local in NOLA. Now though when it's late I usually order room service at our hotel as it is really good. We stay at The Roosevelt and they have 24 hour room service.
Also in your defense you were not a local that chose to go to a chain on a regular basis in NOLA like the local Applebee's lover he mentioned. Haha

Us too we try to always avoid local places in cities we visit. And Ohhh that poboy I have not tried that yet! I need to add to the list for next time! Have yall eaten at Sylvain in the quarter? That is a new favorite of ours now.
It's how you raise them. My kid loves salmon, mushrooms, crawfish just as much as grilled cheese and nuggets. We've taken her to fancy steak houses and she's just fine. We make sure she's exposed to it all...and she's only 4Your post makes me NEVER want kids.
