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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
