The “Food in New Orleans” Megapost
Mar. 24th, 2011 11:59 am( Four days. Fourteen meals. Lots of very, very good food. )
Jethrien notes that getting reservations for the high-end, really nice places (Cochon, Bayona, Columns Hotel, Commander’s Palace) is key. Of the group, I think Cochon was my favorite, though I was admitted tired by the time we reached Commander’s Palace and I suspect Jethrien would say it was better.
The really famous places (Mother’s, Café du Monde, Central Grocery) aren’t particularly worth the long wait for their signature dishes, because you can find as good or better versions of them elsewhere without the 45 minute wait. That said, if the line is short, I can vouch for the first two.
And if you are a foodie, the Culinary tour was totally key.
