DESCRIPTION

Number Of Locations: 8
Entertainment: None
Uniqueness: Local knowledge with global perspective.

Along with your guide you will visit 8 locations: classic Creole restaurants, craft cocktail lounges, neighborhood sandwich shops, pre-Civil War bars, artisanal candy stores and more. Once inside you’ll sample 10 different dishes and 4 full-sized drinks that represent the breadth and diversity of our culinary and cocktail heritage: dishes like gumbo, beef brisket, muffulettas, pralines … and cocktails like the Sazerac, Brandy Crusta, French 75 and more! We discuss New Orleans’ various restaurant family dynasties, we discuss recipes old and new, we visit restaurants that pre-date the American Civil War, we recommend places to eat and places to shop. We belly up to the oldest stand-up bar in the city, find out where the Grasshopper was invented, learn the origins of the Sazerac and discover hidden gems where locals have been imbibing for centuries. And with so many dining and drinking options in New Orleans, why not try 8 different places in one fell swoop?!

Sazerac

New Orleans' official cocktail is a 19th century libation composed of rye whiskey, Peychaud's bitters, simple syrup and lemon twist in an absinthe "rinsed" glass!

Sweet Potato Beignets with Foie Gras Fondue

The first stop of the tour is a street food-inspired restaurant built into an old icehouse, and our first dish is a beignet made from local sweet potatoes, topped with a decadent foie gras fondue sauce and a chicory coffee ganache!

Roffignac

Another 19th century libation from New Orleans, this refreshing highball consists of Cognac, Raspberry Liqueur, Apple Cider Vinegar and Soda Water!

Seafood Gumbo

Several days in the making, this rich gumbo features a dark roux, roasted crabshell stock, Creole seasonings, fresh herbs, rice, oysters, shrimp (prawn) and crabmeat!
