Eating Face in New Orleans
Cachon in the New Orleans warehouse district. We really like this place….a lot. We had the Wood-fired oysters with chili garlic butter, the Boucherie plate and the Mac & Cheese. In the spirit of full disclosure, I should tell you that Mac and cheese is a standard go-to for us. All were amazing, but I was surprised at how much “face” is on the Boucherie plate. Not that there’s anything wrong with face, it’s just…..you know…….face. We had head cheese and some type of ham that also came from a pig head, which loosely means to me that the tamale meat market got more competitive.
Here is the genius of their menu: Smoked ham hocks at $24 and spare ribs at $14 means nice margins for the owners. That said, not one person I talked to complained about the price tag, so there you go.
We shared a shot strawberry infused moonshine to finish……exquisite. Totally the way to go......literally and figuratively.
