Bookbinders in Philadelphia had good lobster bisque. But the best I ever had was at Commanders Palace in New Orleans. CP is my all-time favorite restaurant. I used to live in New Orleans, and going to CP was an event that warranted its own entry on the calendar.
I love Commander’s Palace also. I was so taken by them that I searched for their cookbook online, and bought a copy. It was one of the better meals I’ve ever had, and of course, the company at my table was great, too! I met my childhood friends in NOLA for a long weekend a few years ago, before anyone knew that CoVid was here. We stayed in the Garden District just down the street from there. What a great getaway that was!
