If you have never had the pan roast at Pascal’s Manale, you should. It is the oldest thing on the menu, a savory blend of crab, oysters, and shrimp all chopped up with shallots and, I am sure, plenty of olive oil and butter. It is delicious. I had lunch with an old, old friend from a world away.
Every day in New Orleans is full of magic.
Which is better? II Tony’s or Pascal’s Manale? This is a call no referee would want to make. It depends on the day and the company.
Vincent told me the most beautiful New Orleans story yesterday. You have live here for a long time to know how a day blossoms to full bloom before it fades to be replaced in New Orleans.

Vincent told me the most interesting story.
