New Orleans' lone weekly restaurant reviewer (golf claps for consistency, folks) Helen Freund heads to recent expansion 9 Roses Cafe in the French Quarter: It's a great spot for the Quarter lunch crowd with quick table turnover and a location next to the Supreme Court building, serving "Vietnamese standbys... steamed buns, vermicelli bowls and pho" thought it's the "specials that offer a glimpse of the depth of the cuisine" including shrimp paste on sugarcane (chao tom) and also a creative duck coleslaw.
