Did you use good eggs? It’s just custard so worth using really fresh eggs.

I went to Commanders Palace over1 0 years ago and it was awesome. Not sure it still holds up after all these years and my changing tastes, but I'm sure it's still good. It's a very iconic New Orleans restaurant.

I’d never heard of it before we got invited. Apperantly their thanksgiving dinner is quite the event.

Food and Wine just published a list of the 40 most important American restaurants of the last 40 years. Commanders Palace was #1. If invited were invited for a meal there, I'd go.

We’re certainly going. One of my best college buds loves in Lafayette so we’ll be able to get together also. I’m just surprised that I’d never heard of Commanders Palace. I haven’t been to NOLA in 6 years so I’m excited to have a reason to go.
