You're guaranteed to wait in the longest lines in the city for the privilege of eating Jacques Leonardi's cooking. The menu can make anyone's mouth water: shrimp and alligator sausage cheesecake, fried green tomatoes with shrimp remoulade, swordfish with Jack's voodoo mojo sauce, Carpet-Bagger steak with bleu cheese, onions oysters and hollandaise and panéed rabbit with oyster tasso pasta are just some of the tasty-sounding creations. "Guaranteed fun" say reviewers while warning, "Expect the dining room to be filled with students from nearby Tulane University eating dinner with their parents."
