If you've never dined in New Orleans, then you've never dined at all. In this city, synonymous with resilience and rebirth, people live to eat. And it takes more than a hurricane or an oil spill to make New Orleanians lose their appetite.
New Orleanians know how to celebrate life — craft cocktails have been worshipped here since an enterprising Creole created the Sazerac in the mid 1800s. Tourists love that they can order drinks to go, and walking with a libation is both legal and encouraged.
Here, when one meal is done, it's time to argue about what to eat next. From po'boys to Gulf seafood served Rockefeller-style, etoufee, or remoulade, chefs both humble and schooled balance tradition with innovation. The New Orleans table reflects French, Spanish, West African and Caribbean roots, as well as the comfort foods brought by immigrants from Ireland, Italy, Germany and Southeast Asia. Stewed together, you get the ultimate dining destination.
