Oysters en Brochette
Galatoire'sFrench Quarter·$$$$
$22.00
Breaded oysters wrapped in bacon and fried until golden and crispy.
Tip: Don't skip this even if you normally avoid fried appetizers. The bacon and breading are restraint-driven — they enhance the oyster rather than hide it.

Biscuit with Bacon, Egg, and Pimento Cheese
Willa JeanCBD·$$
$18.00
A warm biscuit layered with crispy bacon, a soft-cooked egg, and creamy, tangy pimento cheese.
Tip: Share two different biscuits and taste both. The contrasts are instructive and delicious.

Praline Bacon
Elizabeth's RestaurantBywater·$
$7.50
Bacon strips glazed with pecans, brown sugar, and spices — the official NOLA bacon.
Tip: Order extra — two or three pieces. One is never enough, and the kitchen sells out by noon.
