Yes, Sammy’s does to-go. I was told they have a new boiler this year. And they are much better than the last couple of years. Has brought back memories of the old Sammy’s crawfish days 15-20 years ago and they are always one of the best in town.

She is so unlikeable.

I had an Iverstine smash burger recently. Definitely one of the best I have had in BR.

I went to Tower of Pizza earlier in the week. Got stuck outside in a 30 plus minute wait in the cold. A couple of old regulars walked up and were not happy about the wait, and went the other way. One lady snickered - “that pizza review guy is going to ruin our place.”

Once we got inside, it took about another 40 minutes plus for our pizza to come out. The waitress kept apologizing and just said - “it’s been that kind of night.” I knew they were having trouble keeping up with the Dems d following the Portnoy review. During our wait, I didn’t see many pizzas hitting the tables inside. But instead it was one pizza “to go” after another heading out the door.

Like Dave, I enjoyed the old school atmosphere. Reminded me of Fleur de Lis in Bayon Rouge with the old school vibe. For the pizza, it was good. But I’m not sure I would go out of my way for it, or wait like we did for it.

Friend, Here is my first mention of Il Supremo, back in August in response to toof’s Il Supremo photo. I have mentioned it several times since. And each time I return I am even more impressed! I have tried every pizza they serve and cannot say enough positive about their plain and buratta. LINK I think it was toof who introduced most of us to Il Supremo and for that we should all be grateful. Yours, TulaneLSU

TulaneLSU,

I’ve always enjoyed your write-ups and have followed your pizza recommendations closely, even planning some of my own trips to NYC and NOLA around them. That said, something about your recent mentions of Il Supremo has me a bit puzzled.

When I checked the link you provided, it didn’t contain a review or any mention of having actually eaten there back in August - just that you had heard about it and wanted to try it.Now, after Portnoy’s leaked 8+ rating of Forgettable Pizza and Ill Supremo, those two jumped to the top of your rankings, but without the kind of detailed write-up or backstory you typically provide in the months since those local joints opened up.

Given your history of forming purported relationships with famed pizzeria owners across the country, it also seems a little unusual that there’s no connection with you and Mother with the folks behind Il Supremo(as you stated in one of your posts), especially if you’ve visited frequently since August. The place is only open four days a week, limited hours, and was pretty under the radar until recently, so I would have expected to see more of the personal touch you usually bring to these reviews.

I don’t doubt Il Supremo serves great pizza - I plan on trying it myself- but this whole hurried release suddenly hailing Il Suprmeo as one of the best pizzerias in the entire US during Portnoy rating release comes across as very suspect.

I was going to be in New Orleans today and planned to give Il Supremo a try and was hoping to do so before their review drops. But I just looked at their website and it looks like they are only open Friday - Monday. Is that right? If that’s the case, that place will be next to be impossible to get into once Dave’s review drops.

I found it interesting that Catholic - BR and UHigh voted against this, which you think they would vote for with recruiting, but SJA voted yes.

Well of course Newman people will try to co-opt the media and look to win a PR battle

I don’t know anything about the case other than what I just saw on Nakamotos investigation, but it does seem pretty damning that the LHSAA director admitted at trial:

1) the LHSAA didn’t follow its own rules and protocol in the handling of the Newman case AND

2) the anonymous allegations against Newman were documented on a paper containing mostly illegible writing.

I always pulled for Collins before, even though I knew she wasn’t quite the friendliest in the locker room or in the court with her opponents. But man, she really lost me with all of that non-sense. Same came across almost like a WWE heel with the way she was taunting the crowd and telling them to kiss her arse.

I was never a fan of Coco Vandeweghe. Knowing now that those two are buds, I will definitely be pulling against Collins going forward.
