" ... the evolution of a particularly delectable combination
of lamb chops with beamaise and grilled tomatoes for
breakfast at Owen Brennan's French and Creole Restaurant
in Bourbon Street, is the occasion for more excitement than
the fall of empires and such meretricious intelligence receive
in New York ... " " ... Brennan's is happily open
for breakfast, traditionally a public meal in New Orleans
and specializes in a wide variety of restorative foods of
great merit and virtue ... " " ... Mr. Brennan is open to
persuasion at any hour and supervises the conduct of his
very atmospheric premises from a tiny bar :Qcltind !1lfL-~~ __ ~--=---------------=.-- ~.=-"-..J ---- - ---
main dining salon where the favored of the management
forgather for absinthe frappe before breakfast or Homeric
quantities of champagnes of late in the evening ... "
" ... the hallmarks of New Orleans restaurant life are, of
course, the pre-breakfast snifter and the universal service
of white hot, marvelously crisp French Bread ... "
