The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was shot in several parts of New Orleans - yet again a film using the peculiar atmosphere of NOLA.
My favorite Rue de La Course Cafe (Rue on Oak) is not shown in the Benjamin Button film of course, but I recognized its corner and the former bank building with a characteristic clock on Oak Street in New Orleans immediately - I think it was shown in several scenes of the Brad Pitt & Cate Blanchette film.
And how could one forget the streets with the live oak trees and shotgun houses?
It is always a good feeling to recognize a place you loved and frequented in a nice film presentation.

Video of New Orleans Jacques Imo's Cafe & Restaurant
One of the best dining experiences we had in New Orleans was at Jacques Imo's (thanks for the invitation, Grady and Elena!).
Although we had to wait in front of the restaurant for an hour to get in (in good weather take some mosquito repellent), it was well worth it. Great food, superb atmosphere, the cafe was crammed with happily eating-chatting people. It's definitely a place to go if you enjoy the continuous buzz of people feeling relaxed. No tie, no worries, no stuck-up ladies, exquisite food. You can feel at home immediately. A must see - must eat place in New Orleans.
Jacques Imos video made by InSearchOfRealFood may help you to decide if you want to check out this fantastic restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana. Unfortunately the video just misses to show the interior of the restaurant, but we learn how Jacques is picking different foods for different musician styles.
David Liebermann is welcome by Jacques Imo, the chef and owner of Jacques Imo's Cafe in New Orleans.
Jacques says: "I said, hey, if I can't be a rock star, I might as well party and serve the rock stars."
