David Downard in New Orleans for Mountain Range Restaurants

I have the opportunity to attend a restaurant conference in New Orleans The conference is a roundtable format to exchange ideas and practices and only restaurants currently in growth have been asked to attend so that it is a very positive event.I am sure that it will be extremely useful to explore fresh ideas from the States, to tap into techniques to improve our customer service and offering and to meet new contacts for possible partnership, investment or future purchase.

Final Night in New Orleans

Some traditional dishes at The Gumbo Shop ( not as good as Coop's) we followed by a pilgrimage to Red Fish for their Chocolate Bread pudding, well worth a visit for the pudding and the great atmosphere. The place was buzzing and we sat at the bar to share the pudding.

After the pudding some of us headed off to soak up the atmosphere in Bourbon St and to listen to some of the numerous live bands of all genres playing in bars along the length of the street.

We lingered at The Funky Pirate to hear Big Al and the Blues Masters, great blues, good fun.
We ended the evening at Fritz's European Jazz Cafe and were treated to some fantastic Trad and Dixie Jazz.





A truely wonderful end to the evening.
