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.)
