Who's ready for lunch?

In case you didn't know already, I love me some Bulldog. Great burgers (this one happens to be mushroom jack), and better cheese fries than F&Ms. If you're Uptown, you can bring over crawfish from Big Fisherman across the street and eat on the patio.

Forecast for today is sunny and 60. What other reason do you need?

Boozing with Bracketology

After overcoming the ego check from President Obama picking against them, the LSU Tigers defeated Butler yesterday to move on to playing top-seeded North Carolina on Saturday at 4:45. It's an unorthodox time for a tipoff, but an absolutely perfect setup for an after game meal. We'll let you decide where to eat after the game, but here are a few spots where you can cheer on the Tigers while enjoying an adult beverage:

1. The Bulldog - I prefer Mid-City with the outdoor TVs but the Uptown original is OK too.
2. Mid-City Yacht Club - Hopefully they will have the projection screen set up.
3. Cooter Browns - Classic spot, but you may be harassed by Tulane fans.
4. Bruno's - Much better for watching games than the old location.
5. Ryan's Irish Pub - If you happen to be in the Quarter.

Unfortunately, I have yet to find a NOLA bar that serves both hot boudin and cold coush-coush.
