It’s #wwew (what we are eating Wednesday)! I (Anna) went to New Orleans, Louisiana for a occupational therapy conference last week, and I had a BLAST. Seriously, that place is like the soul of art and music in America!
⠀
While I was there I was all about the food (as always), and wrote @yelp reviews on everywhere I went. SO, I’ve compiled the 5 things you MUST try when you go to New Orleans, and some good restaurants to try.
⠀
1) OBVIOUSLY beignets. I had them like 4 separate times in 4 days 😅and by far the best were from Cafe Beignet. Plus they have live jazz music there!
2) bread pudding! I’ve always been weirded out by the concept of “bread” in my “pudding” but oh man it is HEAVENLY. I had this two times and my favorite was the French Toast bread pudding from Dickie Brennan’s.
3) traditional (or at least mostly) creole food. I got this when I ordered “the taste of New Orleans” from Oceana. DELISH. Red beans and rice, gumbo, androuille sausage...
4) pralines. I didn’t know this existed. It’s a yummy maple-y sugar-y Candy cookie thing. Laura’s candies was top notch in this department and they even let you try all the flavors first. Original is the best in my opinion.
5) seafood pasta. this is technically not a “restaurant” but we went on dinner jazz cruise on the “Chez Natchez” and it was SO fun. And the dinner buffet and seafood pasta there was delicious! And lastly, Cafe Amelie was charming in every way possible, and their jambalya and crawfish pastas were TDF (to die for 😋).

New Orleans is an incredibly fun palace to visit! Let me know if you decide to book a plane ticket now that you’ve seen all the food 🤣
