New Orleans Dining: Bluebird Cafe at Urban Monarch

New Orleans Dining: Bluebird Cafe

06Mar08

by Greg

If I had a hippie mom in New Orleans, we would meet up to eat breakfast at the Bluebird Cafe. This small locals joint tucked off the major streets in uptown serves breakfast and lunch in southern styles with a granola twist. While you’ll still find steak and eggs on the menu, you’ll also see things like scrambled eggs with tamari, nutritional yeast, and colby jack cheese.

Bonus nutritional yeast trivia:

Though “nutritional yeast” usually refers to commercial products, inadequately fed prisoners have used “home-grown” yeast to prevent vitamin deficiency.

Highly recommended.

that place looks great. all this talk of “nutritional yeast” however, gets me thinking about homeade prison booze; http://moderndrunkardmagazine.com/issues/11-03/11-03-jailhouse.htm

My girl and I are flying back from DC now and had brunch at the amazing, though slightly pricey, Brennan’s in the French Quarter.

Their multiple variations of Eggs Benedict were original and tasty, and the banana’s foster (which they claim to have invented) was out of this world. Definitely worth checking out if you are up for a nice brunch to impress that sweet young thing you brought (or met the night before).

See, now THIS is what I’m talking about.

I chime in with rot gut do it yourself swill, and Scott counters with 5 star cuisine and impressing hot young thangs. If THIS kind of dichotomy isn’t what UM’s all about, I don’t know what is. Good work Scott
