The food isn’t dialed back, either. Meaning, the menu is shorter, but it has a great selection of things. There’s crudo, and other healthier stuff that won’t kill you. But their main thing is this burger that Jordan and Amarys have been working on for, like, five years—just kind of chipping away at it—called the Upper Quarter Pounder.
Lost Love, which is a classic Marigny dive bar, is dark, with red walls, and usually packed with locals. There are shelves of books you can read, but I’m not sure anybody ever does. And the back room, where the kitchen is, has seating and all sorts of local art displayed on the walls for sale.
I usually order the shrimp po’ boy when I want something quick and really good. The roast beef is amazing, too, though. You get all the little crispy ends in the po’ boy, and the meat isn’t dry. I find this one nice and juicy.
