    I'm so spoiled living here in New Orleans that I can't live anywhere else. The food is amazing; the people are friendly; and cultural experiences are beyond those that you can find anywhere else. Thanks for your New Orleans food vlog.

Next time you come you should try Potatoes Souflee at Antoines, they also have a really good baked Alaska, crawfish bisque (during crawfish season), Turtle Soup Commanders Palace is famous for it or Palace Cafe. Anything at Brigstens especially the smoked crawfish or shrimp (which ever is in season) cornbread, their pecan pie with caramel sauce is fabulous. These are a few of my choices.

    I've been to New Orleans many times and have enjoyed many excellent restaurants in and outside of the quarter. A dish I highly recommend to friends visiting NOLA is the BBQ shrimp po' boy. The best in town is either at the Bourbon House, on Bourbon Street or Pascal's Manale on Napoleon Avenue in Uptown. The BBQ shrimp appetizer at Mr. B's in the quarter is very good as well. I live in Houston, Texas, 4th largest city in the US with many transplants from NOLA and South Louisiana and there is no place I've found with BBQ shrimp that holds a candle to what's available in New Orleans

    The number one thing to try in New Orleans is turtle soup, one of the few places in the world where you can try this soup ( Commander's Palace, Restaurant R'evolution, Arnaud's). The next thing is Creole flambéed dessert coffee- Cafe Brulot Diabolique( Antoine's, Galatoire's , Arnaud's. Also the famous Cajun Boudin sausage ( Cochon, Cochon Butcher). Stuffed Quail and bread pudding ( Commander's Palace, Restaurant Revolution's).

    I lived in New Orleans for just over 5 years in the late 1980s to early 90s, and I try to visit at least once a year since. My top tip to tourists is try to get out of the French Quarter for at least half of of your time in NOLA. I would reccomend Mid-City/Bayou St. John/City Park area because that's where I lived and loved it. It has made a wonderful comeback since the floods of Katrina.

      IDK that I would call Cafe du Monde a tourist trap...I grew up in the quarter and went there for breakfast all the time. Also, the bread you had your po boy on is NOT French Bread. French Bread is white, it almost looks like a baguette. And the best place to get them is Domileses, which is uptown. It's only locals.
      But, of course, you barely left the French Quarter. Which is a HUGE mistake most tourists make. Algiers is great, swamp tours are great, but you never saw St. Charles Avenue or Magazine street, nor did you ride a streetcar. Snoballs are out of season when you went, but Plum Street is a staple.

    Why bother with a random market (sure it was good) and not visit where the Muffaletta was invented at Central Grocery Store on Decatur Street. I would also recommend Po'boys at Parkway Deli. It is the Good, Better, Best theory the ones recommended above are the Best.

    Mayo on a Po'boy? The proper dressing is sauce Piquant. You are missing the key flavor.

    Are there any vegetables in New Orleans? What do you eat if you’re vegan? The only vegetables I saw was some lettuce & tomato on the po-boy!

      New Orleans has numerous vegetarian options.Gumbo is a dish that Africans gave us, main ingredient being okra, no animal product needed. Several eggplant and artichoke dishes, thanks to our Sicilian influence, were minus meat, not to mention amazing pasta pesto and pasta agliolio with grated Grana Pradana cheese enjoyed with Gendusa's French bread.

    I feel like I have been watching your videos long enough to say, what up with your hair. In the beginning of the video it looked so "fly away"... Ha ha... The two of you are normally so perfect looking... And of course another awesome video... Miss your international video's, but enjoy your local ones... How awesome to be the both of you...
