  • NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA: Welcome to New Orleans, one of the most exciting cities in the United States and one of the most delicious. Today we’re going on an ultimate food tour of the old French Quarter of New Orleans. We’ll be eating a lot of delicious and legendary food, and I’m going to share everything with you in this video now.
    Thanks to Derek Robinson, my brother in law for featuring in this video. He roasts amazing coffee: / dereksips
    Here are the places we went:
    Cafe Du Monde French Market (goo.gl/maps/CMpWpkiHZ6Htsjdf8) - Easily the most recognizable and iconic coffee shops in New Orleans, and probably the United States, Cafe Du Monde serves unique chicory coffee and beignet. Although seemingly always packed, it’s a great place to get your day started when you’re in the French Quarter.
    Central Grocery and Deli (goo.gl/maps/rawmkK8vuhkqGKcNA) Price - $22.60 - Next up we walked down the road to Central Grocery and Deli, home of the original muffuletta, a gigantic round sandwich with a variety of meats and cheeses, but most importantly an olive salad. The olives are what totally set it apart.
    Coop's Place (goo.gl/maps/5BBbNZSjKA9syZez7) - Price - $29 - Unfortunately Coop’s Place is only over 21, and they don’t allow filming inside. So we took our rabbit sausage jambalaya and étouffée to go. Both dishes were delicious, especially the jambalaya!
    Verti Marte (goo.gl/maps/aXaWVqeiBxn2Nck3A) - All That Jazz Po' boy - $14.68 - Next up on this ultimate food tour in New Orleans, we stopped at Verti Marte for a giant Po’boy that included just about everything you could possibly imagine. It was a heavy sandwich but totally worth it.
    Galatoire's (goo.gl/maps/nL31RS5kNsYKxnzX6) - Price - $40 - $60 per person - Next up for dinner, I made a reservation at Galatoire's, known to be one of the best restaurants in New Orleans. Although they didn’t invent Oysters Rockefeller, they make a great version of them, and for me that was one of the highlights. Also, don’t miss the flaming coffee to finish your meal!
    Brennan's (g.page/BrennansNewOrleans?share) - Price - $22.04 - Finally completely unplanned, because we were right around the corner, we headed to Brennan's where they invented Bananas Foster! As Derek said, the best bananas foster he’s ever had.
    And that wraps up this ultimate food tour in the New Orleans French Quarter. It was an amazing day exploring Creole and Cajun cuisine and culture in New Orleans!

    I lived in New Orleans pre-Katrina for 5 years. I love that city so much so, I met my wife there, the hospitals trained me, the cuisine heightened me, and the art/music cultured me. We couldn’t get enough of that city, even after relocating to another state, we continued to visit and ultimately bought properties in the French Quarter. We visit monthly and relax for a weekend a month. That said, watching Mark placed me back into the vibe and his experiences and reactions are spot on in terms of incredibility. The places he visited are the places I frequent. His content is spot on. Yet, as a semi-native, allow me to make some additional recommendations. None of what I list is solicited. I just want to add the info here for whom is interested in having the best of the best, in my humble opinion:
    Napoleon House: Muffuletta (toasted)
    Acme: Grilled Oysters / Fried Catfish / BooFries
    Doris Metropolitan: Classified cut / Bonaparte Dessert
    Verti Mart: Jambalaya / Breakfast PoBoy / Biscuit
    Palace Cafe: Bananas Foster
    GW Fins: Fish Wings, Grouper
    Mr. B’s: Barbecue Shrimp
    Mothers: Fried Shrimp, Gumbo, Potato Salad
    Fat Boy: Pizza
    Port of Call: Cheese Burger
    Tableau: Shrimp & Grits
    Toast: Fried Chicken Biscuit
    Lil Dizzy’s Cafe: Fried Chicken
    Willie Mae’s Scotch House: Fried Chicken
    Drago’s: Grilled Oysters
    August: Everything (get your gallbladder removed first)
    Carousel Bar: Drinks and Jazz
    Preservation Hall: Jazz (no AC)
    Oceania: Seafood Omelet

    Cool Video. I am a Louisiana historian, whose family has been in Louisiana for over 300 years. *In regards to Creole vs Cajun food. All of our Louisiana food is truly Creole in that it is from a fusion of the inhabitants. None of the dishes known as Cajun (Coming from the word Acadian.) are found in Acadia---Cajun food is a branding tool often meant to refer to Country Creole Cooking. So, that would be non "city" food. So food found in Lafayette, Opelousas and beyond. It's all CREOLE. Using African, Native, and European influences.

      @@courtneyhawkins4072 There are people like him that can eat whatever and not gain. It boils down to your body type and genetics. He is a ectomorph which is a body type that is naturally slim but has trouble gaining weight/muscle. Mesomorphs are most common (in between) and endomorphs are people naturally on the bigger side. Finding healthy foods that you actually enjoy should be the main start to losing weight and finding a workout program that best suits you should be second. It's all about finding the balance, so you can eat yummy muffelatas as long as your main eating habits are healthy.

    Your video just happened to pop up on my feed. I was born in New Orleans and raised here. Grew up in Chalmette (St. Bernard Parish) right outside New Orleans. Now I live in Mandeville across Lake Pontchartrain, but I still work in the city. I love how you captured the essence of our city and your enthusiasm is just contagious. New Orleans has a way of intoxicating your soul. No other place like it on the planet. We all get along here. We are like the gumbo that we are famous for. I still don’t know how Seattle beat us out on the best food in the USA. Go figure? Don’t know who took that poll 😂! The French Quarter has some amazing restaurants, but our surrounding areas have some great ones as well. St. Bernard Parish, Metairie (Jefferson Parish), Mandeville and Covington (St. Tammany Parish) and just the southern area of Louisiana and to the west. You need to try some boiled crawfish 🦞 if you haven’t already, and some boiled crabs. No one does seafood like we do it here. So thank you for this wonderful video and for making me hungry. I’m about to go eat some chicken and sausage gumbo. New Orleans is an awesome, historic, amazing place. If only we could get a hold on the crime, it would be perfect. Thanks again!

    Believe it or not... I was smiling throughout the whole video.
    It reminds me on a business trip when I visited a conference in Atlanta. I told a friend of mine: "Hey, next week the jazz fest in New Orleans will begin. Let's take some extra days and go there." Then we approached Marlene, the head of our project office. "Can you arrange a hotel for the two of us ?" She called us crazy. Imagine we wanted a hotel room a few days before the jazz fest would start. About half a million people usually visit this event... But she made it. We've got a hotel right in the middle of the french quarter. And we had some soft shell crabs at K Pauls and several other creole and cajun dishes.

      Was there years ago, great food in New Orleans. By the way, Hispanics make what they call sopapillas.It means little pillow and is the same as beignets, though there might be a few differences.
