By John Ugelesich

When people wait in line at lunch time outside a dumpy corner restaurant in a not so hot part of New Orleans, something is going on. And if tourists make it their first stop upon arriving and their last stop before leaving something is going on. And what's going on inside has been going on for over 80 years. Ugelesich's Restaurant,. developed almost a cult following over the years. It's presently closed and whether it will reopen is doubtful. But now for the first time you can re-create the dishes that were served there. You'll want to try the "Shrimp Uggie" Friend Green Tomatoes with Shrimp Remoulade or "Oyster Brie Soup." Lots of information and about the restaurant's history and generations of the Ugelesich family.
