Meat Pies @ Wayfare
Wayfare in a hard-to-categorize restaurant in the densest part of the Freret Street restaurant row. Its menu shows specialties in sandwiches, salads, and appetizers, with a convivial bar that shares the one big room with the kitchen and the bar. The meat pies are made in house, with a different filling every day. The pies (also called empanadas by the menu) are as likely to follow the taste patterns of Italian or Latin American cookery, as well as Creole or Cajun. The best I've had was a trio of meat pies, filled h a Bolognese-style compound of pulled pork, tomato sauce, carrots and onions, with a mellow-spicy white dipping sauce. All of this is better than you expect, and more filling, too. [caption id="attachment_41825" align="alignnone" width="480"]
