Acme House and Drago’s are two good seafood joints that are known for chargrilled oysters and well-frequented by players, caddies, reps, etc. Those are two of the more “touristy” spots, but you can’t really go wrong. Honestly, I can write a gazillion words about the food in NOLA. Everything you’ve heard is true. It’s amazing. K-Paul’s is a local favorite and one of the most delicious, scrumptious meals of my life. Let’s see, the bread basket will fill you up and again, best ever. For appetizers, I recommend the Fried Green Tomatoes, Fried Oysters and whatever the server recommends. I went with the “Surf-n-Turf” for the main course, a combo of Blackened Drum (restaurant known for it’s style of cooking fish “blackened”) and Blackened Filet Mignon. Reservations are booked months in advance, especially with the Zurich Classic coinciding with Jazz Fest, but if you show up on the later side (9 or so) and don’t mind waiting 20-30 minutes (it’s well worth it), there’s a good chance you’ll get a table. Mr. B’s is another famous restaurant known for its Creole cuisine. Ernie Els, who lost in a playoff to Jason Dufner, dined there, and according to a reliable source, enjoyed the atmosphere and food.
