There is nothing you can eat in Denver that you can’t find better in Dallas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying Dallas is a great city but it does have good food.

Does Arlington have like a good strip mall ethnic food scene?
Vegas is interesting because there is amazing food right alongside incredibly shitty overpriced food on the strip. It's kind of crazy
No. Arlington is the definition of a soulless, chain-dominated suburb (a Ft. Worth suburb, no less). He's just conflating Arlington and Dallas so he can guffaw from his Ionian white and gold throne in Sacramento (am I recalling this correctly?).It's a play on beems's Dallas = LA thing, ergo Arlington = LV. He's just being a scurrilous little crap, as usual.

Rusty-Glad to see you're coming to NOLA. It's a land of EMAW and delicious everything. Here's a guide to New Orleans that I send to all friends and goEMAW elites who are coming to the city.The fact that you are planning a meal at Jacque Imo's is a good sign. Tips: they take reservations only if your party is 5 or more, and as of last week they were currently closed for the summer. I have no idea when they're reopening, so be sure to call first. (Lots of nice places are closed for a few weeks during the summer, so I would call every place before you go.)Basically, just don't take any of Wacky's advice and you'll be fine.-WonderMealHere's the list:Fancy Pants/Delicious Food:-Jacque Imo's (West side of town, off Carrollton)-Dick & Jenny's (off Tchoupitoulas)-Luke (near French Quarter/Central Business District)-Any of Emeril's restaurants (French Quarter or CBD)-Cochon (CBD)-Commander's Palace (French Quarter)-Galatoire's (French Quarter)Delicious Food That Is Not As Fancy Pants, But Might Be A Little Bit Fancy Pants-Parkway Bakery and Tavern (President Obama's po'boy of choice, Mid-City)-Butcher (sandwiches/lunch, Central Business District)-Wandering Buddha (Vegetarian/Korean/Vegan, Bywater/near French Quarter)-St. James Cheese Company (some veggie options, Uptown)-Cafe Abyssinnia (Ethiopian, on Magazine St.)-Rum House (tacos/caribbean, Magazine St/Garden District, always fantastic and pretty cheap)-Milk Bar (sandwiches, Garden District OR Carrollton)-Norma's Bakery (Central American food and sweets, Mid-City)-Juan's Flying Burrito (Magazine Street or Mid-City)-Brocato's Gelateria & Italian Bakery (Mid-City)-Creole Creamery (Ice cream, Uptown)-Cafe Du Monde (beignets, French Quarter)-Coffee Pot (full breakfast, French quarter)-Tartine (frenchy breakfasty place, near Audubon Park/our house)-New Orleans Cake Cafe and Bakery (Marigny, near French Quarter)-Guy's or Domilese's Po'Boys (Uptown near the Whole Foods, open for lunch only)Things to see/do in NOLA:-French Quarter (shops, art galleries, food, Congo Square, music, Bourbon St. You can see the River/boats near Cafe Du Monde)-Jackson Square (located in the French Quarter)-Jazz music at Preservation Hall (French Quarter) or on Frenchman St-WWII Museum (Central Business District)-Drive up and down St. Charles Ave: Christmas lights, mansions, street cars, Drew Brees-Audubon Park (running/birds/trees/zoo, near our house). If you go to "The Fly" in Audubon, you'll be able to see the river.-Tulane/Loyola (across the street from the North side of Audubon Park)-New Orleans Museum of Art (located in City Park, in Mid-City)-Magazine St (antiques, art, food, New Orleans Saints gear, etc)-Aquarium or Insectarium (French Quarter)-New Orleans African American Museum (Treme, near the French Quarter)Things to see/do outside of NOLA:-Zydeco Breakfast at Cafe Des Amis (Breaux Bridge)-Music and/or drinks at Blue Moon Saloon (Lafayette, LA)-Crazy cajun meat at Poche's Meat Market (Breaux Bridge, LA)-Swamp Boat Tour at McGee's Landing (Breaux Bridge, LA) or other swamp boat tours in Henderson, LA-Any of the festivals -Angola Prison Rodeo (April and October only)-You can take a steamboat ride on the Mississippi, but I always thought that was kind of meh.
