Hazelnut bastille imgur3/17/2023 It was at Jolie’s, a farm to table southern restaurant in a suburb of New Orleans, LA. ![]() The food I long for is from a restaurant that has closed down since I discovered it so I’ll never get to have it again which is heartbreaking to me but also makes the memory of the meal that much more special. The foods that you could eat incessantly and never get tired of, or that one thing that you had at that one place that one time that makes you long for the day that you can go back and eat it again. The dishes that have caused you to close your eyes and let the experience of taste wash over you. When my food elicits that response in someone I know I’ve hit the culinary jackpot, and that’s what I want to hear about today. You know the one, when something is just so perfectly delectable in every way and the minute it hits your tongue you can’t help but close your eyes, make a guttural noise or sigh of enjoyment, and wiggle side to side or nod your head in happiness and approval. It brings people together, carries history and culture, and if you’re really lucky brings out the “happy food dance” that everyone has inside them. Food is one of my favorite experiences in life. Those of you that have read my column Femme Brûlée here on Autostraddle know that I spend a lot of time thinking about food, and the only thing I love more than creating new recipes is eating them. I’m already drooling just thinking about it. ![]() ![]() I hope you’re hungry and excited for this week’s Friday Open Thread ’cause we’re gonna talk all about food! Specifically the most delicious, mind blowing, unforgettable, mouthgasmic thing you’ve ever eaten. Happy Friday my sweet little cinnamon buns!!!
