How To Do NEW ORLEANS Right

Editorial Summary

The creators explore various dining and nightlife options in New Orleans, beginning with a visit to Laja by the Track. Located away from the French Quarter, this neighborhood spot offers housemade items including Creole gumbo, barbecue shrimp po'boys, and thinly sliced fried green tomatoes. The creators highlight the flavorful seasoning in the gumbo and the abundance of shrimp in the signature sandwich. Following their meal, they transition to the French Quarter to visit a bar on Bourbon Street for hurricanes, noting the tropical flavors and the ease of the drink despite its high alcohol content. The journey continues with a visit to Felix's, where they sample char-grilled oysters, red beans and rice, jambalaya, and crispy Brussels sprouts. They conclude their culinary experience with a highly recommended bread pudding, described as soft and sweet with a hint of cinnamon. The trip ends with the creators reflecting on their experience, noting that while the food and drinks were excellent, the combination of heavy meals and multiple cocktails left them exhausted before their early flight.
