Shrimp & Strawberries

    New Orleans is an amazing resource for everything that is culture.  Yesterday I had the fortune to attend one of the many Farmer's Markets in the area, located at the corner of River Road and Broadway.  The products available down here year round are surprising.  We have no seasonal changes it seems.  It is the day before Thanksgiving and it is 80F outside.  Anywho, it is fitting that the cold northern winds do not reach our unchanged soil of paradise, but only hear the commentary of the people who the cold has affected.  If you ain't never been to the ghetto, you wouldn't understand the ghetto, so come visit and understand my chic ghetto.  Word.

PRAVDA! FOOD NINJA, Matthew Elliott Kopfler

Pravda is a bar located at 1113 Decatur Street in New Orleans, Louisiana.  For those not familiar with the area, or who don't have Google Maps, it is located two blocks from Esplanade nestled between Coop's Place and Maximo's Italian Grill. 

    Pravda means truth in Russia, and could not think of a better title to describe my food.  Food is the simple expression or interpretation of natural resources, it is a truthful profession.  My interpretations and expressions of food can be sampled Thursday through Sunday from 5.00pm until 10.00pm, but do not fret if The People (you) want food and I am there, it will be cooked. 

   Pravda menu will rotate around a base of five items, yet to be discovered.  Menu items can be paired with some of the esoteric beverage offerings from the bar, such as the largest selection of Absinthe in Louisiana,  fifty different types of Vodka, and a well-thought out wine list.  Stop by more than once, as each new visit can bring a new palatial experience.



Pravda is now my culinary home.  Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder, come get fond of Pravda.

CHEERS!
