Ok. To start the process I am going to start with Gordan Biersch on Poydras. It is behind the Casino. It is a long block walk from the street car stop. If it was possible to cut threw the Casino it would be easier. This suggestion is the genesis of an email conversation between Kevin, myself, and Penny. https://yelp.to/qTKq/IofxPBO8DM

I will Ill keep looking for more places. I welcome all suggestions.

Red Fish Grill.  On Bourbon, 1/2 block from Canal.  Everything from simply grilled fish to some more New Orleans type fare.

I eat grilled fish, so I could find something, but I am not sure those who do not eat fish and do not eat New Orleans type fare would find anything suitable.

There is one red meat option and one chicken option.

I'm fine with whatever the group decides.  Brewpubs always work for me.

Harrah's Casino Hotel buffet was good last time we did it in 2011, and the group also had one in 2014 in Harrah's Reno.  

 

However, the price has crept up, and it now ranges from $22.99 on a Monday to $34.99 on a Friday or Saturday.  We'll be in town on a Friday.   I recall a very hearty buffet, but $35 is a bit steep.

Because of my food "issues," buffets do not work well for me.  However, as mentioned previously, I am certainly OK with finding something suitable for me elsewhere if others think the buffet is a good option for Friday evening in New Orleans.
