and I'm here with my friend Bethany

and we're really

excited to try all the food that New Orleans has to offer.

So let's eat!

First we headed to the Treme neighborhood

which is considered the oldest

african-american neighborhood.

We stopped for lunch at Dooky Chase's restaurant a

family owned restaurant that opened in 1941.

This historically significant

restaurant was the setting for many civil rights discussions including

meetings with Martin Luther King Jr.

Recent guests include Presidents Barack

Obama and George W Bush.

Bethany got the full lunch buffet.

How is it?

It's really good.

What did you get?

Got meatloaf, some green beans, just hot

sausage and some chicken and some cabbage.

And I ordered the gumbo.

Oh yeah it's good.

It has a little kick to it.

And we both had some peach cobbler.

For dinner we ate at Tableau

in the heart of the French Quarter.

This is the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans and it's known for its beautiful

historic buildings.

We treated ourselves to a fancy dinner

and a cocktail with a great view of the French Quarter below.

Ooh it's strong!

It's the maiden voyage. It's good!

Bethany ordered the gulf shrimp remoulade

And I got the

crabmeat Ravigote.

This restaurant also has a nice patio area and dining rooms

for private parties.

Also in the French Quarter, is Acme Oyster House. This

restaurant was crowded with tourists and locals with a line out the door.

When we

got inside we realized it was worth all of the hype.

The char grilled oysters in

an herb butter sauce was definitely the best dish I've had in a while!

Bethany ordered some hush puppies and I had some seafood gumbo and jambalaya.

Another wait that is worth it is the line for beignets at Cafe Du Monde. This

is pretty much one of the most touristy things you can do in New Orleans but it

is still part of the classic NOLA experience.

You can sit inside, but I

would recommend heading nearby to Jackson Square to eat the sweet treat

while soaking in the view.

Bourbon Street is known for its nightlife. It is also the home to NOLA

po-boys which many go to for a late-night snack.

Po-boys are a traditional sandwich on French bread and a New Orleans staple.

Thanks so much for watching!
