Where to find girl dinner in New Orleans
A small handful of New Orleans restaurants are now offering "girl dinner" specials, serving up price fixe meals in a nod to a delicious viral trend.
Why it matters: The perfect restaurant order does exist.
Catch up quick: The phenomenon may have always existed but it got a name when TikTok user Olivia Maher was — delightfully — on a self-described "hot girl walk" with a friend and thought up the title.
Maher told the New York Times that the pair were extolling the virtues of a simple meal of bread and cheese.
"It feels like such a girl dinner because we do it when our boyfriends aren't around and we don't have to have what's a 'typical dinner' — essentially, with a protein and a veggie and a starch," Ms. Maher said.
The term caught on, and one of the most popular iterations of the meal is a salad, French fries and a cocktail or Diet Coke.
Here's where to find girl dinner -inspired specials in New Orleans:
🍸 JusTini's offers " girl lunch" on weekdays from 11am to 3pm.
The $25 deal includes a Caesar salad, truffle fries and a martini or lemon drop cocktail.
🍟 Junior's on Harrison offers $7 truffle fries, Caesar salads, martinis and frozen drinks on Thursdays.
