New Orleans New For This LA Foodie

February 23, 2016 by Diane Wagner

Traveling to New Orleans For 1st Time; So Many Restaurants – So Little Time.

New Orleans food is as delicious as the less criminal forms of sin.
Mark Twain

I’m going to New Orleans for the very first time next week. If I had a $1 for every person who told me the food is amazing there – well, let’s just say I’d probably be posting this from my 200-ft. luxury yacht somewhere near Cannes along with Todd (English), my personal celebrity chef.

Because I’ll only be in NOLA for two days, I’ve put together a short list of the recommendations I’ve gotten so far. Which must I try?

In America, I would say New York and New Orleans are the two most interesting food towns. In New Orleans, they don’t have a bad deli. There’s no mediocrity accepted.
Mario Batali

FOODS

  • Beignet – the official state doughnut
  • Pralines – the confection that French settlers brought to Louisiana
  • Muffuletta – Italian charcuterie and a spicy creole olive salad sandwich
  • Po-boy sandwich – for pic, check out Domilise’s

BREAKFAST | BRUNCH

  • Café du Monde – for beignets with café au lait
  • Elizabeth’s – for their praline bacon

LUNCH | DINNER

  • Galatoire’s – for lunch on Friday, the “the biggest scene in town”
  • Herbsaint – for duck confit
  • Upperline – as they say on their website, I may need to get out of the Quarter
  • Commander’s Palace – jazz brunch, lunch or dinner
  • La Petit Grocery – I think I must go because chef Justin Devillier was raised in OC
  • Cochon – traditional Cajun Southern
  • Patois – based on their Gallery, they may be top of my list
  • Tommy’s – for Italian-inspired creole food

BARS

  • Cure
  • Bellocq
  • Bouligny Tavern
  • Delachaise
  • The Caroussel Bar

OTHER

  • Central Grocery – for muffulettas (according to Emeril, they started the whole thing!)
