To wrap up yet another weekend gone by too quickly, Brie, Evan and I rode the street car to Lafayette Square to check out the Street Food and Go Cups event that was being put on by Tales of the Cocktail. Sucre's gelato truck was among the dozen or so various options. While there were plenty of food vendors to choose from, we opted to walk down the street to Luke for a late lunch/early dinner.
Evan and I split an order of "Rillettes of Mangalitsa Pork" which was basically a meat salad esque concoction made of pork served with crispy bread and a selection of marmalades. Surprising delicious and cute that it came in a little glass jar. I also indulged in the "Luke Burger" with leftovers to boot! Check out that adorable mini bottle of ketchup!
While sitting at Luke's bar we chatted up an older gentleman named Victor Cook who was a professor at Tulane's business school. Since, apparently as a group we know no strangers, we walked with him back to his apartment building and received the grand tour while talking for over an hour about furniture, politics, and art. He certainly had some spectacular views of the Crescent City Connection. A very humorous, smart man that was a pleasure to meet.
On our voyage back home we stopped off at the newly opened Fresh Market and scoped it out. I used to go to the one in Roanoke frequently, but with Whole Foods being here and closer to the house, I don't know that TFM will have the same pull on me here that it did in Virginia.
