Please share with us your must eats in New Orleans!
If you want the best Oysters Rockefeller, go to Antoine's. They invented it. You could literally go to 100+ places in N.O. and all of them would be good!! From small little places to fancy restaurants! Happy belated anniversary!!
@@charleslenox6967 Nice!!!
Hi J&R ill be in NO for Jazz Fest 2023 (Willie Mae's here I come-i go there at least twice a trip!) I looked on your other vlogs (didnt see) u need to go to Jaques-Imo's!!!! So good. I normally get a Central Grocery Muffuletta for the plane ride home (ppl get mad cause they see u eating and didnt think of getting one-lol) Sad they are STILL not open. I want from there. I need to go to Luke's and Brennan's (just for the Banana Foster) 😋
@@TomE-11 Definitely check out Brennans! Never heard of Jaques-Imo's
Bacon wrapped shrimp and grits at Mr Bs bistro
Great foodie tour, guys! We still need to hit up Commander's Palace. Our first NOLA vlog will drop this Wednesday. =)
Thanks so much guys! Seeing your Instagram Pics made me get my butt in gear haha. Can't wait to see all the places you guys went!
All my favorite NOLA videos are from both your channels! They’ve been on repeat since preparing for our first trip to NOLA this past May and going back again in October so they’ve been playing non stop. While I love the Vegas content too, y’all need to make another trip cause I can’t get enough of these videos! Thank you for all the great content!
Next time you’re in New Orleans, please come try our family’s restaurant GABRIELLE on Orleans Ave. I enjoy your videos!
Thanks for watching!!
Muffulettas at CG are the bomb. I dream of them.. haven’t been to NOLA in more than 20 years..Need a trip! Thx for a video that will hopefully get my husband to want to plan a trip. 😊
Awesome hope you do!
Try Felix’s across the street from Acme. You won’t be disappointed.
Next time!
Also try acme oyster house, if you eat oysters. Great oysters!
You two are so cute together and your personalities compliment each other well. It's so nice to see two people radiating love for each other❤. My husband and I want to visit new Orleans one day. Thank you for the video. I'm definitely getting ideas for our trip.
Wow thank you so much for those kind words. We really appreciate this!
Great video! I want to travel with you guys! We will be in New Orleans in august ❤❤
Have fun! We enjoy NoLa!
We were in New Orleans right before Christmas. Thanks for going to all the restaurants we missed. We were only there for a few days after our cruise, so it was hard to fit everything we wanted to do into two days. We did hit Mother's which was amazing. Great food tour!
Nice! We had Mothers on our list for a while but ended up at Domilise’s instead. One of these trips we will need to get there for sure
Oh my! Yum yum yum!
😋
One day I will do a New Orleans food trip, just like this! Everything, and I mean everything looked so delicious.
You should! Thanks so much Marge
I love New Orleans; I’m going down this weekend with a trip to Biloxi. My go to restaurant is Antoine’s. The potatoes soufflé there are like eating fresh McDonalds fries in the best possible way. They are known for inventing Oyster Rockerfeller so that’s probably the place to try those. The Baked Alaska is amazing too, and it has a similar vibe as Galatories.
Keep up the good work.
awesome thanks so much
The food of New Orleans is great the sea food is great,can never go wrong in New Orleans with fresh food with great ingredients flavor and tastes,the ingredients flavor in the sandwich tastes delicious.
Couldn't agree more!
Yay! I'm so glad you got to try the muffaletta and that you didn't hate it Josh. I'm sure that the pre-packaged ones aren't quite as good as the fresh ones at Central, but you got the gist of it anyway! And now, I'm hungry!
Thanks Susan, we knew we would not be able to do a Classics video without it. Do think fresh would be a bit better but glad we got to try it at least!
I enjoy Luke Restaurant; happy hour ($1 oysters) and lot's of great cocktails.
Nice we will have to keep it in mind, love some cheap fresh oysters.
I loved watching this video! You went to 3 of my favorite restaurants, I’m a Louisiana girl, through and through!! Commanders and Galatoire my top 2!! First trip to Galatoire was at 7 yrs old. So 50 years ago!! Trout Meanure almondine and soufflé potatoes the best! Everything there is true old New Orleans. Commandeers is my top hard 2nd! Always get pecan fish and turtle soup!! Y’all did amazing! Grab some Pepcid and head on back!! I live in north Louisiana but NOLA is unbeatable! So glad you liked limas! Thank you so much and trip down memory lane!! Blessings always!! 🎉🩷🩷🤩🥂
Wow thank you so much for the amazing compliments! So glad we did it right by someone who grew up there. So many classics it was hard for us to narrow it down to this list even! Love NOLA
You guys are great! We go in October! So helpful, thanks friends! ❤
Thank you! Have fun!!!
My absolute favorite city ever!!! Working for Caesars Entertainment, we visited New Orleans a couple times a year doing promotions at Harrah's. Love that you tried some of the places I love. The red fish to this day is one of my favorites. One thing I yet to try is the alligator cheese cake at Jaque Imo's. I've had alligator bites at Pat O'brien's and they were delicious. Thank you for these amazing memories. Haven't been there in a while.
Thanks Johnny - We had some Alligator on our trip back in February at Cochon and it was really good. That Alligator Chease Cake sounds quite interesting!
Thank you for your video and experiences! I will try commanders palace since it’s been on my list. Every time I go Willie Mae’s is closed. They also sell the muffuletta at the French market at Alberto’s cheese and wine bistro fresh. Try a Hurricane at Pat O’Brien’s. The French 75 is my cocktail. I also had the Aperol spritz at the carousel bar. The Sazarec house on canal is a free cocktail tour and a must do attraction. The history and culture at this exhibit is phenomenal. The Vue Orleans is a new experience near the river walk. High recommend! Thank you again!
Thanks so much for the recommendations
They looks great. Now I want to come to New Orleans to get some. Nothing but love for you both.
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much! New Orleans has so much good unique food to offer! Can’t wait to go back
Oh good lord! Such rich and beautiful dishes - thank you .
Haha thanks so much Denise!
Hi There, I checked out your tour. I am going next week for the first time. I wrote down the places you visited. I hope I will be as hungry as you were!!!!! Thanks for the video.
Awrsome, thanks so much for watching, hope you have a great trip
Great video! You have rekindled my desire to go back to New Orleans. Never enough time (or money) to visit everywhere i want to go. Thanks for sharing your trip. 😀
No kidding! So many great places to visit and so much great food to try, not enough time or money is real
THANK YOU! You guys are just right for me. Fantastic job. ♥️
Thank you!
Ahhhh!! Nawlins food 😋😋😋!! I love little spots like Damilise’s …it looks so good and my kind of dining style! Heck all the food choices every place looked so good! You guys tried so many great food choices and wow those fancy cocktails 🥃 yum👍!! We love New Orleans! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Tina. It really is a great food and drink town! So many good spots and a lot in a walking distance to each other
Hi Josh & Rachael, its Harley from Vegas. Just saw this video. Happy Belated Anniversary. Looks like you enjoyed another visit to New Orleans. LOVED the video. My son and I will be there in March for his birthday. His 2nd time and I've been coming since I was in my early 20's (almost every year) :). I always enjoy your videos. Don't forget, on one of your future NO adventures, to go to Irene's or The Pelican Club. Let me know what you think. Going to try Sofia's and Lola's.
Thank you! Will do! Thank you so much! Our next time we will definitely be looking for new spots so those will work perfectly!
Great video as always. My wife and I love your eating adventures. Commander's Palace is one of my top 5 restaurants in the country. If we ever make it back to N.O. we definitely want to try Willie Mae's!
That is awesome! thank you!
Beautiful couple and food looked delicious🤩
Thank you 😋
Great video! Everything looked delicious 🤩
~ Inge 😺
Thank you so much!
I can’t eat most New Orleans foods but the fish and steak at Gallitoirs looked great. Excellent video guys.
So good! Thanks Tom and Mindy!
Gala-Twars if that helps. Love watching you guys. I'm born and raised in the city and still live in the area. Despite growing up here, I've never even tried many of these places so I'm getting to see much of what I've heard about.
I ride in one of the Mardi gras parade and will definitely be trying some of this when we're down there for parade weekend.
Thanks for sharing!! We are hoping to get there for Mardi Grad someday looks like a blast
Great video! I love the French Quarter. Great art and food!
Amen to that! Thanks so much!
We need more Black restaurants mentioned please 🌹⚜️🇺🇸
Thanks
Finally! I’ve been waiting for a good video on the classic NO restaurants and you nailed it. The first piece of advice for a first time visitor is don’t eat anywhere that’s less than 25 years old. 😅 Where do we eat nearly every trip? Commander’s for sure. Mandina’s for seafood and Italian, though we also like Fausto’s in Metairie for lunch. Acme and Drago’s for oysters. My favorite French Quarter restaurant is Tujaques. Thanks for a great tour.
Awesome thanks so much!
Haunted" Place!! Full of Beauty" and Good Food" Love IT!
The best!
Very solid tour. Full disclosure, I’m kind of a New Orleans travel snob. I’ve been their over 20 times and have been all over town. Initially I found your choices a bit obvious and cliched but as I remind myself that this video is for first timers, I realize that you picked all very good spots for a quintessential New Orleans experience and a memorable trip for anyone going there for the first time who follows your plan.
On your next trip however, may I suggest the following:
- Herbasaint
- Toups Meatery
- Cochon restaurant
- Johnny’s Poboys
- pesche
- Jacque imo
You nailed it - we were going for only classics that have been around for ages. We actually did Cochon in a different video along with Restaurant August, along with some others. There are so many great spots in New Orleans, even after two trips last year we still need to go back for more! Thanks so much for watching and sharing!
@@JoshRachael PROMISE ME, PLEASE you’ll try Toups Meatery. I went last February and it may be the best dinner I’ve had in that town!
Deal! Next time we are there, it’ll be on our list!
My son and I ate at Restaurant R'evolution after a saints game om 2019. It was excellant.
Nice, we haven’t heard of that one, will need to look it up!
During my business years I made many trips to MSY. All of your locations are winners. What you don’t get to as “tourists” is all the suburban restaurants that are just as good. These locations have chefs who are just as talented as those in the Quarter or Garden District. In fact I don’t think an ordinary restaurant can survive there.
I believe it, and the tough thing about being a tourist is you only get a chance to do the highlights but still Bette than nothing we figure
The Muffeletta fresh at Central is outstanding.
I bet the fresh one is better, maybe the my will be done with repairs the next time we go
There's a Willie Mae's in Venice CA open now. Gonna hit it up for my bday.
Yes! We just saw Bill and Lisa check it out. Sounds like the food is still great but the prices are up being in California. Have fun!
This looks so fun! Hope to visit someday. Do you guys live in Vegas or do you just visit there often for the good eats there?
Thanks you should go for sure. We actually just visit Vegas a lot for the good eats. Plus we get some pretty great casino comp offers to help us keep returning
IMHO if you want oysters go to Felix Oyster House as good as Acme with less wait time.
We went there our first trip. We decided to do Acme for this trip since it had been around longer
Thanks!
Thank you so much Harley!!!
Tina and I love New Orleans. I went once during the pandemic on my way out west, but before that Tina have gone 3 or 4 times. We have not been to Domilise's, but we did have really good Muffuletta's at the Napoleon House in the French Quarter. Tina had a PoBoy at the Acme House just off Bourbon Street. I LOVE catfish! Great shots of Bourbon Street! Awesome! There's the Acme House. We Loved the Acme house! You gotta go to Pat O'briens and order their Hurricane! OMG! Amazing. I had shrimp and grits and Tina had a PoBoy there as well - she loves sandwiches! Wow, those handshaken Pina Colada's you ordered looked awesome!! Wow! the food at The Commander's Palace looks awesome. Next day! More food! Willie Mae's looks awesome. We will have to make a pilgrimage to Willie Mae's. Galatoire's looks very fancy! Tina and I have been to Cafe Du Monde...pre-covid. Nice to finish up with a muffuletta! Very Nawlins!
Wow thanks so much Walt! Seems you guys will need to get back there again. So good, easily a top 5 foodie destination in America.
@@JoshRachael No doubt!
My fav vaca of all time..
No one in my circle agrees with me though
Love New Orleans, so nice we went twice last year
Was just in New Orleans today. (short drive from my home in Baton Rouge) Made a stop at Cafe Beignet and can 100 percent agree with you guys that the beignets there are better than Cafe Du Monde! Thought of your vlogs from the last trip you did and had to check it out for myself!
Love Galatoires and Commanders Palace as well, and ashamed to say I still have never been to Willie Mae's.... I have to change that soon!
That's Awesome. We did have to sneak in an order at Cafe Beignet but it didn't work with our Classics theme for the video but we still are on team Cafe Beignet. Thanks so much Griffon!
That is sweet! You should definitely try it out and let us know if you think it is better than some of the other Fried Chicken spots you have had in Louisiana
Turtle soup is my all-time favorite. Everyone (including me) is always afraid to try, but it is really beyond words. I actually prefer the COM PALACE in LAs Vegas, but that may just be me.
We had watched a video on it before trying it, otherwise we would have been too scared to as well I think. It was delicious! Wait there is a Commanders Palace in Las Vegas???
@@JoshRachael Not anymore. But there was one inside of Caesars Palace many years ago. I was there before I tried the New Orleans one. Was very nice, fancier than the original one in New Orleans,
Food receivers eating lettuce on a hot roast beef sandwich with gravy 😂
It is how they make it...
Hi from New Orleans, I love your Vegas vlogs. I disagree with Commanders Palace. The turtle soup is good but that's it. Meaning good authentic Creole flavor. Galitorie is just ok. Next time try Jack Rose at the Ponchatrain Hotel. The Vietnamese Creole fusion at The Hotel Saint Vincent (ribeye fried rice) 🥰
Thanks for the tips!
Black liquorice with rubbing alcohol 😂 no thanks I’ll stick with the pina Colada’s, they looked delicious! 🍹
Great video as usual.
Amen Winnie
Rachael Josh thanks I Love" That was a long time ago"Rachael you kill me I am going to make a pilgrimage to Willie Mae's and I am going in 2023 thanks
We try the history thing sometimes, we just aren't really good at it haha - thanks for watching James
You guy's are funny I meant no disrespect 🙂
@@James18925 No worries at all!
I haven't been to New Orleans in many years, but I have been to many of the places you mentioned! I have to go back with my husband soon! But, I have to correct you on something... you said your 10oz steak was covered in King Crab , but that isn't King Crab.. it's jumbo lump crab...
Good Call - thank you for watching!
Josh and Rachael I regret to inform you that Willie Mae’s is permanently closed….😩 and we didn’t get to try it!!!!😩😩😩
Permanent?!? That sucks I had seen there was a fire but was hoping there would be some rebuilding
@@JoshRachael I wanted to go there because you guys suggest it. Every time we talk to a local about it they get very sad about it. Your video about New Ireland was the one that made me want to try it. YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!! November is almost here can’t wait to see little clips of your I dos. 😃
@@mariaelizondo7808Willie Mae's will reopen sometime in 2025. They will be opening another Willie Mae's Nola,on Baronne St. At the end of the Summer this year 2024.😊 The best fried chicken in New Orleans.😂 I can't wait!🙏💘
The pork chop and po boy look good. Oysters with green stuff looks odd.
Thanks so much, yea the green oysters were not our styel
Must they put parsley on everything
Isn’t that how it becomes fancy 😉
we will try any restaurant that gets the coveted J&R F T "Damn Good!" ranking
Boom 💥 🤯
Tho I have never tried Absenthe, your description reminded me of my experience with Green Chartruse. Kind of tastes like kerosene, but it grows on you. Ha Ha
Haha 😂 that is awesome, unlike Absinthe 🤮
Just a note-Willie Maes just recently had a bad fire and is closed for now.
Yes sadly a viewer notified us on Instagram, such a shame. Hope if comes back better than ever and the damages weren’t too extensive
😮😮😮
@@JoshRachael-Willie Mae's will be reopening sometime next year 2025. They will also be opening another Willie Mae's Nola on Baronne St. at the end of the Summer this year 2024.😊 I can't wait to go there. The best chicken in New Orleans.😂 🙏💘
Fergie is crying that you don't like The Black Eyed Peas
😭
excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
That was blue crabs, not king crab
Thanks
Arnaud's is pronounced R-No's
Thanks
Cafe Beignet is so much better than cafe du monde.
We don’t disagree but this video was about showing places that had been around for a long period of time not bets of the best. Thanks for watching
How much were those Pina colada's? I heard the carousel bar is over priced, but it's right near my hotel when I go.
Never mind I found it, $15 isn't bad for a fancy bar drink I don't think.
Yea it was definitely some of the more expensive drinks we had in New Orleans but it is a very sought after seat. Worth it for us but for the great experience
Yeah I've paid more than that at tiki bars, I was thinking $30 per drink.
@@dustinmarciniak4131 We have gotten pretty used to prices like that in Las Vegas so this seemed like a bargain haha
That was the saddest Muffaletta ever. Central Grocery may have done it first but it's been a long time since they've done it best .
😢
I really like how informative your videos are with good information but dude, let her talk. You keep interrupting her.
Sorry about that
I hate NOLA!
Bummer
Dont like no green crap on top of my food. Disgusting. $55 ? The math doesn't add up. 3 small poboys should've been $25. Fries and 2 beer's. Somehow yall got taken
Seemed decent for us
Edible cocaine 😂
Mounds of it 😂
Acme = tourist trap at best and not even that good.... so many better places... but typical tourist bs
You may have missed the part of going for the “Classics” we didn’t call it the best but it has history
@@JoshRachael once again having lived in new orleans my entire life acme to be considered a classic is a joke. While they have been in city a long time only tourist would consider it classic.... Think places like Jacques-Imo's, Antoine's, Pascal's Manale.... my suggestion is when you go to places like NOLA do a little more research than the typical Acme
Next time y'all come, be sure to check out Angelo Brocattos Bakery. It's an Italian Bakery on Carrollton in Mid City, the street car passes right in front it 💜 Get a Cannoli 🥰🥰🥰 Spumoni, Petit Fors, it's so delicious, still family owned from 1905!!
Also, for a Muffellatta, DiMartinos has the best hands down, with eggplant sticks & seafood potato salad 🥰
Awesome thank you so much for the tips!!!
Next time you’re in New Orleans, please come try our family’s restaurant GABRIELLE on Orleans Ave. I enjoy your videos!
We will put it on our list!
