NEW ORLEANS, PART DEAUX
Written by Rocky Mountain Woman on July 22, 2011 – 12:24 pm -
I can’t begin to describe how wonderful the food was. I ate in a different restaurant for every meal so I could fit in as much variety as possible. Hands down, this guy’s restaurant was my favorite.
I spent an hour or two in here (hey, it was hot out!)
crayfish patties
Alligator! This was the first time I’d ever tried it, even though I lived in Florida for years. It was good, but pretty much anything is good deep fried and served with garlic aioli.
Emeril’s place – the food here was absolutely amazing! I had etouffee and bread pudding. It was wonderful, but I still think K Paul has him beat…
I couldn’t resist buying this…
french market
the mighty Mississippi
I would highly recommend the New Orleans Food & Wine festival for anyone who obsesses over food and wine (like me). I learned so much and had such a good time. I’ll definitely come back, maybe not next year, but sometime again in the next few years for this amazing festival!
xxoo,

Lucky you. Just once I would like to eat my way through New Orleans. Good to see Chef Paul is still around. He used to be on TV a lot.

It looks like you had lots of food and fun! I’ve only been to New Orleans once, a long time ago. It would be fun to go again, but maybe during a cooler time of year. I just can’t handle the humidity with the heat. Thanks for all the great pictures!

I loved NOLA. One of my favorite places to eat was Upperline. Hope it hasn’t changed!

I’ve never been to NOLA. Looks like I’ve been missing out!

Oh wow….the food looks Amazing!! I’m not big on Cajun food since I can’t eat spicy stuff but I sure do wish I can

What great photos, and I have to try this recipe. Love the blender shots. I am visiting from Jenny Matlock. xo

I’ve been in love with New Orleans ever since, as a young teen, I read the books of Frances Parkinson Keyes. I’d love to revisit NOLA in the springtime,and sit in a courtyard to sip coffee and nibble beignets.

Okay, okay. Now I understand the tight jeans!
But it looks oh-so-worth it!

Never have been to New Orleans – have always wanted to…the food looks fabulous! Personally, I favor jeans with an elastic waste…for me, much more forgiving! Zippers and buttons are highly overrated…
