Stopped in at Ivar’s for the first time in maybe seven years and had my first ever meal there because I was in the mood for a bar burger and I was closer to Ivar’s than Phil Brady’s. When I really get in the mood for a dive bar I want Chris’s bar on North, but that was then and this is now so I hit Ivar’s and got their cheeseburger. It was about ten times better than I expected and I could get tots or fries with it and went with tots. The very first bite made me think of Port of Call on Esplanade in NO and while it wasn’t that good, it was much, much closer to that Port of Call burger than I’d have thought possible. A couple of High Life’s would have brought me that much closer to dive bar heaven, but it was lunch and I needed to head back to the shop so I got a Barq’s instead and just thought about how much I wanted a High Life or two.
