I wish I had a dollar every time I was asked the question, “Where should I eat?” At my day job, which is frequented by mostly visitors to the city, I am the go-to girl for dining recommendations. (Note: I was just asked about a restaurant while I was typing this. No joke.) I couldn’t be more tickled than when guests return to tell me that I was spot-on with my endorsement.

Now, I know what my favorites are, but I would like to gather the thoughts of you, my gentle (and opinionated) readers. Two of my goals here at NOLA-Eats.com is to engage our local friends and educate visitors. Today marks the first round in what we’re going to call Locals’ Choice. Once a week I will pose a culinary destination question. You get to chime in with your favorites and can even throw in your least favorite, if you please. All of these topics will be tagged “Locals’ Choice” and will help guide new residents and visitors to the city in doing the right thing when it comes to dining out in New Orleans. So, let’s get started…
