Restaurant Review - Yat's by Mike Taylor

Yat’s, aah Yat’s. What a delightful change in pace this restaurant is. This ranks as one of my favorites in the city. Yat’s is a New Orleans themed restaurant that has a constantly changing menu posted on a chalkboard. All of the menu items are $5.50 and a ½ and ½ will run you $6.50.

If I pay $20+ for an entrée, I expect the dish to be very very good. I feel like I should tell you about my food likes and dislikes so you can get a sense of my gastronomically prejudice tongue. I love spicy food, not just to be hot but I love the flavor of hot. My favorite genre of food, although simplistic, is probably Mexican food, it is like pizza to me…some are better than others but it is very hard to have bad...
