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

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.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

Blair Waldorf

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
