This heuristic has served me well at Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal, and at Le Cochon Dingue in Quebec. Wednesday night it was a winner again in New Orleans. Since some of my readers may still have a New Orleans dinner or two ahead of them, let me recommend Cochon — no more than a 15 minute walk from your special session. If you’ve just got a lunch left, their afternoon deli Cochon Butcher is also supposed to be good (and is also covered by my heuristic.)
Quomodocumque 
How much did you like Au Pied de Cochon in DC?
Never got there, is it awesome?
We were there the same night! Both the fish and
the cochon were excellent.
