[Pigging by Wilfrid: November 13, 2018]

It had stopped raining. A good thing too, as I'd decided to walk from my Canal Street hotel, through the French Quarter and Marigny district, to Bywater American Bistro, located at the quiet, residential end of Chartres Street.

Choosing to return, I was expecting a good meal. It turned out to be one of the most memorable meals I've eaten. And I have eaten a few.
