Luke (for breakfast)

 

 


New Orleans, LA


Luke is a new restaurant in downtown New Orleans.. it's located inside the Hilton on St. Charles! I believe it's owned by Chef Besh of Restaurant August. Even though they are a self-proclaimed "Authentic Brasserie", my visit on this day was mainly for some good breakfast!


organic two egg omelet: Benton’s smoked ham, wild chanterelles, Emmenthaler and spinach


My date had the Benton’s smoked ham, wild chanterelles, Emmenthaler and spinach Omelet.. I enjoyed it very much, but she wasn't too fond of the chanterelles.. she felt they were slightly bitter? I like the chanterelles a lot! And with the spinach and Emmenthaler cheese... It was a wonderful combination.


organic two egg omelet: jumbo lump crab, asparagus tips, fleur-de-teche cheese and chives



creamy Anson Mill grits


I had the Jumbo lump crab, asparagus tips, fleur-de-teche cheese and chives Omelet. Eggs, Crabmeat and Asparagus.. I believe every man, woman, and child should try this atleast once in their lives. I didn't detect the Fleur-de-Teche cheese, but nevermind that.. it was good with or without it.. And the grits were creamy and tasted like they we suppose to, nothing spectacular, but good.


My last bite...


Well I plan on coming back to Luke again sometime for lunch or dinner.. I'm curious to see what they have to offer. I like the ambiance, very casual and comfortable.We were welcomed with a smile and the service the prompt! Most importantly, the food was great.. what more can you ask for? If you're looking for a good place for breakfast in New Orleans, this is your spot. A little pricey for morning food, but well worth it!

Do Commander's Palace!

I almost went on extern there. Sadly, Chef McPhail told me they couldn't handle any more externs. But He told me to give him a ring when I graduate. haha

Hello Allen,
You worked hard to make your site more interesting than most. The pictures are a nice touch. I see that you are a gourmet!
I like to write articles about God and religion on my site. I want to help people to really get to know God, especially in these troubled times. Jesus gave us a message of hope that is in the Bible: 14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14) (ESV) I hope you get a chance to look at them.
