Dessert tonight...

Justin and I had dinner at Oki Nago, a Japanese buffet restaurant in Metairie. I wanted coffee, so we passed by Morning Call. It was packed, so I grabbed a large coffee and an order to go:

Morning Call is nowhere near as well-known as Cafe du Monde, mainly because they left the French Market in 1974 for the (in their view) greener pastures of Metairie. MC was further down in the French Market, at Decatur and Ursulines Streets. They moved the interior of the place lock, stock, and barrel to 17th Street in Metairie, right behind Lakeside Mall, and have thrived there ever since. When Clearview Mall in Metairie was re-modeled to include a food court and a 12-screen AMC theater, MC opened a second location in the food court. That location has yet to re-open post-Katrina, but the main location was packed tonight.
