I was lucky enough to be invited to participate in the last day of 'practice' before Commander's Palace reopened Sunday, October 1.

Lots of friends, long term customers and neighbors were invited to enjoy items from the new menu and fill out a 'report card' which evaluated everything from the service to the new interior design... to, of course, the food.

Well, take my word for it... it is ALL fabulous! And, everyone in New Orleans is breathing a giant sigh of relief - Commander's Palace is back!
