Ruby Slipper – therubyslippercafe . net All-day brunch and eye-opening cocktails ? Yes , please ! In 2008 , husband and wife team Jennifer and Erich Weishaupt opened the first Ruby Slipper Café to help draw people back to their beloved Mid-City neighborhood in the wake of Hurricane Katrina . Since then , the award-winning restaurant group has expanded to 11 locations across the Gulf South region and launched Ruby Sunshine , the company ’ s first foray outside of Louisiana with locations across the South . Boasting an expansive menu bursting with brunch fare , it ’ s easy to see why this local hot spot is popping up all over town . Your furry friend is welcome to accompany you at several area locations that offer outdoor seating including the Marigny , Metairie Road , Mid-City ( which has a nice grassy space for pups and giant games for human kids to play ) and Magazine Street among others . Begin with the pawsitively addictive Pig Candy Bacon Bites with candied glaze , or the Fried Green Tomatoes topped with remoulade and bacon onion jam . Woof-worthy entrees such as the Three Little Pigs Omelet ( stuffed with applewood-smoked bacon , ham , sausage and Swiss cheese ), the Hot-Smoked Salmon Omelet ( with goat cheese , hollandaise , red onions and flash-fried capers ), and the perfectly balanced Sweet Heat Chicken ( fried chicken and fresh strawberries tossed in hot honey glaze over French toast bites ) are sure to make your pup envious . Benedict lovers will squeal with delight over the Crawfish & Grits ( a giant fried grit cake topped with poached eggs , Louisiana crawfish cream sauce and chives ), or the house-made Corned Beef hash served over a buttermilk biscuit , topped with poached eggs , horseradish cream and hollandaise .
