• Cochon

  New Orleans, LA

  
  
  A glance at the
  menu..

  Cochon means “pork” in French, but in New Orleans it’s a
  creole/cajun restaurant in the warehouse district. You go here for nice fatty,
  soulful meals! Not alot of places still bring in whole pigs and do in-house
  butchering, but this place does. It’s seriously good eating!

  
  
  Glass ‘O
  Wine

  
  
  Beef Brisket w/ Horseradish
  Potato Salad

  
  
  Broccoli and Rice
  Casserole

  
  
  Smoked Ham Hocks with Grits & Brown
  Gravy

  The food is fantastic! It’s not a place for the
  “health-conscious”, but for you foodies who don’t care.. this is the way to go
  down! And doesn’t a glass of wine help prolong your life? It should balance out
  right? =) Well the Beef Brisket sitting in it’s jus is very tender and
  flavorful.. the Horserad Potato salad compliments is really well! Ham Hock,
  grits and brown gravy.. need I say more? Every bite is delicious! Sometimes when
  you eat dishes as rich as this, you fear getting bored of it.. and yeah it can
  happen, but the portion size is usually just right for me. We also ordered a
  side of Broccoli and Rice casserole, which gave us that “Vegetable” element that
  each dish was missing. haha

  Dessert!

  
  
  The Lane Cake with Vanilla Ice
  Cream

  This dessert can best be described as a German Chocolate Cake
  without the “Chocolate”! The cake is rich and moist. The ice cream helps to
  balance out the richness. It was a great way to finish that meal! If you’re ever
  in Cajun country.. try this place out. You’ll be
  happy!
