A Peak at District Donuts, Beshtaurants Prepare for Fall

LGD?Ever wondered what a first-person video game set in a gourmet coffee shop would look like? Wonder no more! Sprudge visited the Lower Garden District's newest fancy coffee shop, District Donuts.Sliders.Brew and snapped a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos. Now, you can gaze longingly at a fried chick croque monsieur and marvel at all of District's steampunk brewing fixtures without leaving the warm glow of your computer screen. [Sprudge]

CBD?A couple of Beshtaurants will be serving special autumn dinners on Oct. 17. While Besh Steak puts on a fancy, four-course wine dinner featuring wines from Stag's Leap winery in Napa, Domenica will be hosting a more informal beer dinner featuring beer from St. Arnold Brewery in Houston for $65 per person.

COVINGTON?In addition to all of its fresh, local foodstuffs, the Covington Farmers Market will also host the food truck Lola Deux on Oct. 19. Award-winning chefs Keith and Nealy Frentz will serve up a sampling of their menu, and there will be much rejoicing. [NOLA.com]

FAT CITY?Next Monday, Oct. 14, Fat City will host a "food truck rally" of sorts when vendors like Drago's Seafood, Fat City Franks, Rue Chow, Crepes a la Carte, La Concinita, NOLA Girl, and Empanada Intifada all park their trucks or set up their booths in the lot at 18th and Edenborn Avenue from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Live music and public eating will ensue, yea, verily. [NOLA.com]
