Me too! I watched all of the cooking shows on RUclips when the pandemic first started. I loved the Big Freeda tv show and was sick when it didn’t come on anymore.
Omg I love Loretta’s. I was so sad to hear of her passing but she was so nice and genuine each time we made a visit to the city and stopped by. And she knew her food was AMAZING, and it is!!
The owner of Neyows has a great selling personality, enthusiastic, confident in her dishes. Thanks for the journey Big Freeda. They are all on my to do list /try when I travel to New Orleans.
My sister and I had the red beans and rice at Neyow’s and we just about floated up to the heavens. They put something in that that’s… otherworldly. I have never had anything that made me feel like that before or since.
I'm from Ohio and I absolutely LOVE Loretta's!!! I go every single time I'm in New Orleans visiting my family. The food is amazing! Ms. Loretta was so wonderfully sweet. I missed seeing her in the shop on my last visit about 3 weeks ago. But I will continue to come every time I can!
We have great ones in New Orleans. I like Dooky Chase and Willie Mae's . Obama and 2 other Presidents ate at Dooky Chase when they were here. Mrs. Leah Chase was a New Orleans Legend and National Treasure. Willie Mae's has the best fried chicken in the country. We are blessed with all kinds of people in our state from different cultures that created some incredible dishes known and loved worldwide using local ingredients.
NOW. This is the authentic New Orleans food review from a "true til death" local I've been looking and waiting for. When I hear Big Freeda I automatically think New Orleans. And that food look bussin 😋 Great Review 👍
Big Freedia has the old school new orleans voices.. Sound like my grandfather voice BIG WITH SO MUCH DEPTH and New Orleans vibes like our culture it just fills the whole room..
@@tmariethatsme8170 I love y'all culture and I can't wait to visit one day. It's on my bucket list. Let me know if you also have any local recommendations outside of the tourist areas.
Loretta's is our favorite! We met her and her son personally after Katrina. We have had many conversations with both when we would frequent the resturant. We miss her dearly but her soul lives on forever in our hearts.😘
I went to Neyow's shortly before the pandemic. I had the red beans and pork chops and it was to die for. The red beans were super creamy and seasoned to perfection. The pork chops (2) were well seasoned also and delicious. I would definitely go back.
I LOVE Big Freedia!!! She always uses her platform to help other people rise! Excellent interview questions and authentic guests. I want to try all of these restaurants and I want Big Freedia to get her own talk show!
i had Lorettas beignets and OMG they were soooooo goood. My Uber driver told me about them while taking me to Du Monde and I'm so glad she did. I hope to go to the restaurant next time I go! I really wish I saw this video before my trip. dang!
Big Freedia made me visit Neyow’s today. The food was amazing. The cornbread dressing. Omg. And the bread pudding was the bomb!!!!!! North Carolina in da house. Trying all the spots he spoke of!
I’m here in NO! I’ve tried all 3 of the places Big Freedia has recommended! My favorite of the 3 is Neyow’s! We are finishing up as I’m typing this! Gr8 service & food! However, the best that I’ve tasted is Loretta’s beignets w/ crab meat then the praline beignets (I also got the beignets w/ PnJ but haven’t trued them yet). Good food at Marrows as well! Thanks Big Freedia for recommendations!
Yesssss. My NOLA friend recommended Morrows. I had an amazing cocktail there and the charbroiled oysters are fantastic. i don't even like oysters typically but I loved theirs.
The lady kree definitely has a beautiful personality her spirit definitely made me want to try the food … all the places looked good can’t wait to go there and support black businesses 🙏🏽🔥♥️ love big freedia
Okay, I am back from New Orleans. I went to Neyows, and the food was delicious. I had fried oysters, macaroni and cheese, and hush puppies. I also had the drink that is on the table, it is called the Bow Wow. If you have two Bow Wow's you will be barking like a dog! I didn't get a chance to go to Morrow's or Lorretta, but I did go to Dooky Chase's and their food as delicious too. Thanks for the tips Big Freedia.
I could watch Big Freedia talking about pretty much anything! They are such an upbeat, positive, fun person who deserves to be a hell of a lot more famous than they are!
I know they have to make it look nice and it is. But I’ve been to Neyows and Morrows. I couldn’t get in either one of them. They were both so packed and had over 2 hour waiting for a table! And you had to have reservations sometimes . So make sure you call in advance and get there before the crowds do. There’s very limited seating in Morrows it’s very intimate.
My gf and I were able to walk right into Neeyow's. My daughter was jealous, says there's always a long wait. I'm not one to starve waiting to eat, so I guess we were supremely lucky. Neeyow's was guhreat!
I love me some Freedia for many reasons but mostly because he's unapologetically him also, the fact that he worked on not only 1 but 2 hit Beyonce tracks...mad props to him!
I have visited Neeyow's recently and the place is the frickin' Bomb! The atmosphere is inviting, the location is convenient, and the food is all that and then some. Making plans to go to Morrow's and Loretta's. I'm just up the I-10 in Baton Rouge. Love me some Nawlins.
Queen Deva I must say Neyow’s is not he just lace my husband and I visited the place and it’s amazing, celebrating our 44th Anniversary, I viewed your video about your favorite restaurants, we had to try it 👍🏾 enjoyed it thank you so much!🙋🏻♀️❤️
So sad went to Nola Mothers Day weekend this year. And, both restaurants were completely packed. The parking was little to none, thankfully before going to the airport my son was able to go in, and get me some bread pudding it was delicious. Hopefully, when I return I’ll have the pleasure of the dining experience.
I am soo glad this is on here. So many of us who are visiting family, on vacation or at conferences want to support our community. Thank you for the opportunity.
Freeda did some red carpet interviews for the premier of "Office Party" some years back. Freeda was great with all interactions for that event too. 💙🖤✨
I agree. She has charisma and knows how to work a room. Freedia is very gifted directly from God and veing featured on Beyonce's Album three times...not bad Freedia. Absolutely in love with her.Shw is my favorite star so far...Beyonce as well...
Thanks for all the delicious reviews of neyows I will be trying them on my 150th vacation to new Orleans in August I must try these red beans I see 👀 😋
Me and my family went to New Orleans for the first time last month and completely fell in love with everything especially the food omgg lol. We went to Neyow’s and it was incredible.. I wish I knew about the other ones while we we’re there but me and my boyfriend are planning another trip for January lol and will definitely go to all of the other ones
I will be in New Orleans in August. I am going to visit Loretta's, Morrows, and Neyows. I love you Big Freedia! Yaka, Yaka, Yak! Love your new collaboration with Beyonce.
I love 💕 Big Freda from Sacramento CA, come see us, when I come back to NOLA 😊 I will look you up I will be back for ESSENCE FESTIVAL in 2023 Let the good times roll!!!!!
I love Freedia ❤ she always makes me smile or make me feel the total experience like she’s talking to me directly lol she sold me on all 3 places really quickly 😂
I love you Big Feedia. I missed you when you came to Raleigh. Please come back, and come to Durham, NC. When I visited New Orleans the beignets and the Po Boys wore me out, as well as the Hurricanes, which had me wearing two different shoes to dinner, lol !!! Next time I visit New Orleans, I will look for Loretta's.

most often re_played segment of this vid is the section wit Ms.Kree, cuz she fire!❤🔥

Celery or was it spicy?
@@tmariethatsme8170 that’s part of the holy trinity so celery is in there already! We’re from Houston. We may be very white but we’re not newbs.
Wow 😃😃😃😃😃
@@aleisterlilywhite1109 Celery is apart of the Holy Trinity in Creole Cajun food, but if uses a certain way you may or may not taste it
They sell some kind of punch that is so good! And will have you seeing double

Ms Loretta passed away.
"Loretta", who ?
Freedia’s gospel brunches were one of the live streams that got me though Covid lockdown. Thank you 🙏🏿
Yes, they were everything!
I love Loretta's. She was so sweet and greeted everyone that came into her shop with genuine joy.
It's all about how you treat people. They will never forget it.
Cool! And there needs to be more Black owned restaurants in every city in America!

Neyows is the best hands down 🤤
The BBQ shrimp and the Korean beef at Morrow's are both amazing!
I went to Neyow's shortly before the pandemic. I had the red beans and pork chops and it was to die for. The red beans were super creamy and seasoned to perfection. The pork chops (2) were well seasoned also and delicious. I would definitely go back.
Red beans and pork chops .... my lawd
@@MightMouse2174
Lol yesss. It tasted like the lawd himself prepared the dish. 😋

A Stamp from Big Freedia in New Orleans is as big as it gets!
I hope Big Freedia took all her leftovers home. The food looks delicious. 😋
You know she did! 😂 Chile, not only can she cook but she can EAT too 😂💖💖💖

Black people trust Black people when it comes to food. Thanks
White people trust black folks with food too❤
He needs a nationwide travel show
AGREE ❤️

Everyone’s personality and vibe is so dope..

You're just fabulous Big Frieda I love you🙏👏👏🤗🤭
I love her so much and her passion for New Orleans.
him
Great interviews you I done good.
I could watch Big Freedia talking about pretty much anything! They are such an upbeat, positive, fun person who deserves to be a hell of a lot more famous than they are!
I know they have to make it look nice and it is. But I’ve been to Neyows and Morrows. I couldn’t get in either one of them. They were both so packed and had over 2 hour waiting for a table!

I love me some Freedia for many reasons but mostly because he's unapologetically him also, the fact that he worked on not only 1 but 2 hit Beyonce tracks...mad props to him!
Big Freedia IS New Orleans, so I watched this video. I really loved it, because I learned a few new spots.
I have visited Neeyow's recently and the place is the frickin' Bomb! The atmosphere is inviting, the location is convenient, and the food is all that and then some. Making plans to go to Morrow's and Loretta's. I'm just up the I-10 in Baton Rouge. Love me some Nawlins.
Food for your soul. Can wait to go to New Orleans and check these places out.
You are slamming Fredia! Need to visit Louisiana!
The seafood ones are so bomb!!! Love the praline ones too!!!!!
I LOVE BIG FREEDA!!!!!
Queen Deva I must say Neyow’s is not he just lace my husband and I visited the place and it’s amazing, celebrating our 44th Anniversary, I viewed your video about your favorite restaurants, we had to try it 👍🏾 enjoyed it thank you so much!🙋🏻♀️❤️
Freedia's hair looks fabulous dahling!!!
Just watching P Valley and seeing Big Freedia perform Awesome ! Now I love Big Freedia...
Neyow's and The Creole House was delicious when I went to New Orleans. Went to the Creole House twice just for the fried catfish.
I had the sweet potatoe mini pies and cookies from Loretta and I could’ve just passed out.
So sad went to Nola Mothers Day weekend this year. And, both restaurants were completely packed. The parking was little to none, thankfully before going to the airport my son was able to go in, and get me some bread pudding it was delicious. Hopefully, when I return I’ll have the pleasure of the dining experience.
I’m So Proud Of Yuuu Freedia🥹💙💙💙
