6 New Orleans Restaurants That Even Taylor Doose Couldn't Complain About

Taylor Doose has a problem with everything, but these restaurants are so good that even he wouldn't be able to complain.

6 New Orleans Restaurants That Even Taylor Doose Couldn't Complain About
Odyssey

In honor of the relaunch of the beloved "Gilmore Girls," I had to tie in two of my favorite towns, Stars Hollow and New Orleans. Nothing screams NOLA like the lively city and the abundance of restaurants and Stars Hollow like weekly town meetings and the pesky mayor/owner of everything, Taylor Doose. For non-viewers (come on, people! Get your life together), Doose always has a problem with everything. However, if all of our worlds somehow managed to collide and Doose finally left Stars Hollow and moved New Orleans, he couldn't complain about these unbelievable NOLA restaurants. Although, we may not have Luke's or Al Pancakes, we sure have PJ's and Camellia Grill—and they are definitely "Gilmore Girls"-approved.

1. Shaya

After being named the Best New Restaurant in America in 2015 by Esquire, people have traveled across the country to taste what Chef Alon Shaya has prepared. Their pita bread, which is served straight from their wood burning oven, is to die for. Honestly, you could eat the pita as a meal and still be satisfied. The only thing I could think Taylor would be complaining about is the wait. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time, because it's always packed—and for good reason.

2. DISTRICT: Donuts. Sliders. Brew.

The name says it all. We know the ongoing conflict between Luke and Taylor, but when it comes to burgers, Taylor would side and say these top Luke's burgers any day. Also, this restaurant combines burgers and donuts into one, so this leaves the Gilmore household with tons of smiles, full bellies, and only one stop to fulfill all their food needs.

3. Creole Creamery

Taylor Doose may have opened an ice cream and candy shop (Season 4, Episode 1), but he would still envy Creole Creamery; each flavor is exotic and delicious. I mean who could say no to Rosé, Lavender Honey, or Mexican Hot Chocolate flavored ice cream? I sure can't.

4. Pizza Domenica

The Gilmore girls sure love their pizza delivered to them so they can stuff their face and watch corny movies. If Pizza Domenica ended up in Stars Hollow their worlds would be changed forever.

5. Johnny Sanchez

I have two words to describe Johnny Sanchez: holy guacamole. With unbelievable guac, plantain chips and brussels sprouts, you will probably be full before you even get to the main course. Highly suggest the Queso Fundido, or warm melted cheese with chorizo.

6. Willa Jean

We all know Lorelei and Rory aren’t the healthiest eaters; so they couldn’t say no to a cookie, especially a Willa Jean cookie. These cookies are a gift from the Gods, they come served with Angostura-Rum Tahitian vanilla milk and a whisk of cookie dough on the side.

I'm assuming that before even finishing this article, you've Postmate-d one of these and are pulling up Netflix to start the relaunch.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
