Full description
Your gastronomic adventure begins in the French Quarter. In the early afternoon, meet your friendly, food‐loving guide and set off through the lively Vieux Carré (Old Square). The 3‐hour excursion includes up to ten food tastings – and about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of walking to burn it off.
Your first stop is SoBou, part of the acclaimed Commander’s Palace enterprise. Relish in haute cuisine with dishes such as boudin balls and sweet potato beignets topped with foie gras. If you’d like, grab yourself a drink at the bar before continuing on (own expense). Make a quick pit stop at a popular hot sauce bar to sample dozens of hot sauce varieties. Head to Leah’s Pralines, where you can sample a Creole classic or a new innovation such as bacon pecan brittle.
Visit Little Vic’s Sicilian Trattoria to sample the muffalino, a Little Vic’s original full of mortadella, salami and ham. Next it's on to NOLA Poboys. Hear about seafood harvesting in Louisiana before biting into a fresh‐made fried catfish poboy. Hopefully you will not have filled up already, because the next stop is Tujague’s to sample traditional slow‐cooked beef brisket, and on to Tableau for some seafood gumbo.
