Good food & good music

I don’t think there are many more things that are better than good food & good music. I truly believe that food & music can often play a role in putting someone in a great mood or a foul mood. For instance, I know that when I hear a song that I use to listen to when I was a kid, it just brings me back to that exact moment and often times I can’t help but get the silliest grin on my face.

Anyway, this brunch date with Cinthia on an extremely cold, spring day (not bitter) did just that. It transported me back to New Orleans where I was stuffing my piehole with delicious foods while listening to live jazz music. And what a great time we had!

Live jazz, bottomless mimosas, the cheesiest mac and cheese, lightly toasted cornbread, fried green tomatoes, NOLA shrimp and warm beignets. We felt like we ordered it all but truthfully, we hardly touched the surface of the menu. This wasn’t our first time at The Bayou but it was just as enjoyable as the first time. I feel like we were seated at the perfect spot (small high table by the window) and were just able to talk for hours (which we did) and felt no need to rush. The service was also so great and I seriously can’t wait to go back. But yes, good food and good music … it just does something good for the soul. And when you can add a good friend to the mix … I mean, what more does one person need? I hope you all had wonderful weekends and happy Tuesday, y’all!!
