Okay, well the results seem to be in, and far from what McNulty expected.

Only Emerils, St. Germain, and Zasu got stars.
Bib Gourmand:
Acamaya, Cochon/Cochon Butcher, Domilise’s, Dooky Chase, Hungry Eyes, Lufu NOLA, Mister Mao, Parkway Bakery, Saba, and Turkey and the Wolf
Other honorable mentions excluded all of the old line restaurants except Galatoire’s. Which doesn’t surprise me really.
Mentions:
34, Addis NOLA, Atchafalaya, August, Clancy’s, Compére Lapin, Galatoire’s, Herbsaint, Killer Poboys, Dakar NOLA, La Petite Grocery, Molly’s Rise and Shine, Osteria Lupo, Patois, Pêche, Saffron NOLA, the Kingsway and Willie Mae’s NOLA
It’s a weird list honestly, many omissions. 34 is Emerils new ‘Portuguese’ place which i’m not familiar with yet. The only one I really disagree with is Killer Poboys. I’m not a fan, but it is popular. Personally I think Guy’s, Parasol’s, and Frady’s are all better.
