"For Immediate Release (August 2, 2007) - It�s an historic icon, cherished landmark and the very heart and soul of New Orleans. It�s the Crescent City's prized possession- Commander's Palace. Since 1880, the famous restaurant, located in the heart of the Garden District, has successfully reflected the best of the city with both Creole and American heritages, as well as some of its own culinary creations.

OMG! This is grayt news, one of my fav's!

Do you really think they can duplicate what they have in the Garden District in that place?

 

[Kurt]

Is it me, or has half of New Orleans moved to the panhandle?

That's what I've thought too...so it's not just you.

Commander's. YUM! Turtle soup, fish with pecan butter, bread pudding, jazz bunch. I remember one Easter at Commander's when Beach Jacket was about two years old and had her new Easter bunny with her, they brought a plate with beautifully-presented carrots for her bunny.

I hope they can reproduce the tastes in the new location. I guess we'll wait and see.

There are some things folks just shouldn't attempt to duplicate. It's sad to me that the Brennan's feel the need to do this.

Of course, you are correct. It's just sad. I guess the Garden District location is not doing well. Just hate to see Commander's go the way of Emeril's.
