Dr. Gourmet's Restaurant Reviews
I love living in New Orleans and there are some really good restaurants here. Fortunately, there are more locally owned restaurants here than big chains. Unfortunately, that means that when we want to review restaurants for you, we don't have a lot of choices. Our mission is to help you make better choices, so we took our tastings on the road to find some restaurants that are more widely available. This time we were in the Washington, D.C. area.
Our first stop was The Daily Grill. This is a chain that we have reviewed before, back in 2010, and they have some good choices, but they have now developed a menu with dishes under 600 calories. There were too many great choices for us to try them all, but these options include such things as a simple grilled salmon or petite filet. A Tale of Two Grills
Featured Recipe
Cajun Cheeseburgers
I was a bit tripped up by this recipe. I had made the burgers the first time and they were on the salty side. While I am more sensitive to sodium content than some people, it seemed odd because I hadn’t added that much salt.
That's when my wife checked the can of Creole Spice I was using. Tony Chachere's is a popular brand in New Orleans, and I had used their Salt Free Seasoning before, but only in stews and such. A look at the can showed that it used potassium as a salt substitute. Checking my other brands in the house, including Paul Prudhomme, McCormick and Spice Hunter, showed that they were salt and potassium free – spice alone. It just goes to show just how important reading food labels can be.
