Fabulous Food in New Orleans

4/28/2012

I ate some amazing food while I was in New Orleans. Here's some of the great things I ate, and sorry these pictures aren't so great. But I wasn't very focused on the pictures. I just snapped quick ones so I could get right down to it!
Picture
Cheddar Cheese Omelet Po Boy at Johnny's Po Boys. Don't let New Orleans fool you. A po boy is just a hoagie or a subway sandwich anywhere else. But I don't think I've been offered an omelet sandwich anywhere else before. This was good, and I think Johnny's Po Boys is famous for their sandwiches.

If you go to New Orleans, you have to eat here. They have amazing beignets (fried dough with plenty of powdered sugar) and cafe au lait (or great hot cocoa if you're not a coffee drinker). Everything about it is fabulous, but don't wear black. You'll get powdered sugar everywhere.

Shrimp po boy at Deanie's Seafood restaurant. They had great food and service.

These were fried artichoke hearts with parmesan and marinara. OMG. They were so good. I'll be recreating these bad boys at home for sure!

This cracked me up. The table next to ours at Deanie's ordered this huge platter of crawfish, and I had to take a picture. If you're reading this, thanks ladies!

We ate here the first night, and they had great food that I didn't take a picture of....I had chicken alfredo, and Linda had crab cakes, which she said were very good. I definitely recommend this place, and it's got great ambiance and character.

I got these French macaron cookies at the French market, and I carried them around with me all day. We have pistachio, chocolate, and vanilla. I loved the chocolate one the best with the pistachio coming in a surprising second. The only time I have had macarons is when I made them, so I'm glad to made them correctly.

The food was one of my favorite things about New Orleans. Of course, my favorite meal was at NOLA, Emeril's restaurant. The whole thing was incredible. There are so many different restaurants to try, and I can't wait to go back!

The weather was beautiful. In the 80s and not very humid. Perfect time to go!
