Went into Storyville in Huntington Village. Hurricane Katrina has been on my mind a lot lately because of the ten year anniversary news coverage. I can't believe that Hurricane hit that long ago. It seems like just yesterday. I've never been to New Orleans and so for now, this is the closest I'm gonna come to it.
Storyville named after the town which was considered the red light district in New Orleans tries it's best to provide its customers with authentic Louisiana dishes. I've been there before and I've tried their jambalaya as well as their catfish and greens. On this particular occasion, I chose to go with the pulled pork sliders, mac and cheese, fries and beignets for dessert. I was quite pleased.
The sliders were very tasty. Covered by a brioche bun the sauce was plentiful, the meat was tender and the sliders were filling. I thoroughly enjoyed them. Along with the mac and cheese which was soooo cheesy, I almost asked for the recipe, I was very pleased with my lunch. Although, I chose to not get authentic New Orleans cuisine I have to say, the atmosphere made me feel like I was there.
I did however decide to get the beignets which did not disappoint. How do you go wrong with fried dough covered in powdered sugar? They must be eating them in Heaven right? Sipping my cappuccino which was a bit light but good nonetheless, I have to say overall my experience was a good one. Storyville has been around for a few years in its location next to Finleys and although the location isn't the greatest, I'm quite sure that the word of mouth will keep them cooking and pleasing for years to come. If you're thinking of Katrina during these few days and months of Hurricane season, stop by Storyville and then make a donation to Habitat for Humanity to aid the still rebuilding gulf coast.
