Tasty Way to Spend a few hours in NOLA! - I took a day trip in NOLA, and this was my choice for a fun day--and the tour did NOT disappoint! We started out at Roux Royale with some delicious Praline Cookies! Then, we headed to Four Generations at The French Market for Boudin on a stick and a little time to explore and shop! The Market Cafe for Shrimp Po Boys was next followed by Central Grocery for Muffuletta, New Orleans Creole Cookery for Gumbo and Grilled Oysters with Parmesan... and finishing off with a Praline from New Orleans School of Cooking. All the food was delcious and such generour portions for a food tour! The po boy was probably my favorite--I have never actually tried an oyster until this tour, and I must say, with the parmesan and seasoning, it tasted much more like a mushroom! lol Let me rave about the tour guide! SUSAN did a great job! She shared stories about the history of NOLA, the background of the food we were eating, and even shared some other local hot spot info for us to use during our stay. Susan was very knowledgeable, but not stuffy. She was fun, approachable, and literally answered any questions we had. I would definitely request Susan on any future tours. Overall, such a great way to spend a day in NOLA!
