Food Porn at the Green Goddess


Found it- last meal on Earth, The Green Goddess in New Orleans...

Best meal(s) EVER! I want to marry the chef, seriously, I asked him (sorry Kim).

This gem of gems has only been around for six months and I'm telling you that if Food Porn needed a specific listing- this place would be it!






Started out smitten with the sweet potato pumpkin soup du jour (sprinkled with chili-laden roasted pumpkin seeds, coconut milk, pumpkin seed oil and melted blood orange zest honey butter and chives). DEAR GOD!

Add to that sweet potato biscuits with a side of red pepper jelly (not bell pepper but the spicy red guys) and the butter of love that now calls me by name, the honey blood orange butter!




Finish with the Saturn Calling dessert- sticky coconut black rice pudding with "rings & stardust" which was just galactically spectacular and then a post apocalyptic cocktail:
The Aviation MSY (Scott the bartender made his own very extra violetty version of this famous drink and MSY -Scott explained, is the airport code for NOLA).

Get this, and I rarely cocktail it up (it had to be done)...
Miller's gin, creme de violette, Cherry Liqueur from Austria with lemon juice and a twist.

It tasted like a cold black cherry squished and then drizzled with sugar glaze lace on high end French lingerie.

We went back again and again and again... I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this little known spot that is provocative in everything it delivers, seduces your senses like an old flame and is even more delicious!

Open 11am-4pm and dinner's only done Fri-Sun... try the breakfast, o dearie me the Strawberry and Chevre french toast is sin and succulence on a plate.

Hats off to what is surely the place I want to dine before I leave this planet.

10,000,000 stars- out of the park, swing!
