We discuss New Orleans’ various restaurant family dynasties, we discuss recipes old and new, we visit restaurants that pre-date the American Civil War, we recommend places to eat and places to shop.
We belly up to the oldest stand-up bar in the city, find out where the Grasshopper was invented, get the real scoop on absinthe, learn the origins of the Sazerac and discover hidden gems where locals have been imbibing for centuries.
And with so many dining and drinking options in New Orleans, why not try 7 different places in one fell swoop?!
