If you are going to be in the New Orleans area anytime soon, do yourself a favor & have dinner at Root on Julia Street. This fantastic restaurant was the pick of April's monthly 'let's go to a new restaurant that we've never tried' dinner. Friends, I was blown away by the menu at Root. Chef Phillip Lopez is creating amazing cuisine at this modern, hip establishment. My friend & I ordered three small plates to start our meal, & that was all we needed. We had a beet salad, roasted brussel sprouts with lardon, & the star of the meal: chicken wings. OK, I know you think I have lost my mind, but the Korean style chicken wings at Root are - without question - one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Ever. They were so good, in fact, that I informed the kitchen that next to being in the presence of God, the wings are the best experience one can have.
I'm not sure what deliciousness went into the cooking of these tasty morsels, but I can tell you these chicken wings were made with love. Make the short trip to New Orleans & let me know what you think of Root. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. Please, fellow foodies, send me some suggestions of restaurants I should try or try again. I'm always looking for my next great meal. Be blessed....
