When I lived near NOLA I had season tickets to the symphony and to the chamber music series at Tulane. Once or twice a month friends would get together and have dinner at Galatois before either the symphony or the chamber music. I guess we did that for 5-6 years and it was delightful. I haven't been back since 1992.

Many of the people who wrote in support of Eyzaguirre liken eating at Galatoire's to being part of a "club." Prerequisites for membership would include longtime regular patronage; a steadfast devotion to Galatoire's rituals (i.e., eating lunch every Friday, or early evening dinner on Sundays); and, the ultimate status signifier, having a special relationship with a waiter.

Ah HAH! Now we get the low down!
