Needless to say, if you are in New Orleans, this is a must visit. Steve. That's excellent to hear. I travel to New Orleans most years in the spring — my favorite city to visit. That's at the top of my list next year (I'm back first week of March), and I want to visit Cane & Table, too. Last year, I had the good fortune of discovering Tiki Tolteca, which is just a few blocks away from Latitude 29. Have you been? The first night we went, it was — bizarrely enough — hosting a graduation party for pharmacy students. Alas, none of the revelers could find humorous, yet extremely tasteful, refuge in the arms of the bar's wonderful Painkiller. It was more like a high-speed Cognac ad for 45 minutes until the loud, pointless energy dissipated into the ether, and we were able to enjoy the tiki bar in the peace with which it was imagined. What do they make their Suffering Bastard with? Some bars go bourbon, but others mix rum and gin. I go for the latter, of course, since it involves rum.
