I was enjoying some fine New Orleans weather and paying way too much money for breakfast.

Nice photo Joe! Did you feel NO was "tourist ready" again? I've heard different opinions. Looks like some of the fine restaurants are up and running!

There were plenty of tourists, but I forgot last weekend was the Bayou Classic so we didn't really go out to anywhere popular.

It's definitely different. I was worried about Brennan's looking at me funny for not wearing a tie, but there were people there in shorts and jogging suits. That was weird.

Great photo Joe. I have done the Brennan's breakfast many times. World's best grits, bar none. Fine dining everywhere has relaxed on dress codes and I say it's about time. If you've got the cash, come on in and be seated. My favorite is Hawaii where you can wear flip flops and shorts while your waiter is dressed in a tux. Hawaiian style.

Mrs. Morph and I have been to N.O. several times (3-4) since the hurricane. It has gotten better each time. The first time a lot of stuff was still closed, not because it was damaged, but because they couldn't find anyone to work there. Last time we went, and it has been a few months, everything seemed almost back, except that the caliber of waitstaff is down, because they are mostly inexperienced. We used to love the table side Caesar salad at court of two sisters, but last time we went it wasn't available. In fact most of the table side offerings were gone because they didn't have anyone experienced enough to do it.
