New Orleans
New Orleans is home to one of the most inviting food cultures in the world, with icons of the culinary catalog as its face: gumbo, étouffée, po’boys, and jambalaya. But in line with its history as a fount of inspiration for musicians, artists, and writers, it’s more than that — a place where chefs blossom and eventually contribute to an ever-evolving cuisine identity that counts Vietnamese, Caribbean, African, and European among its influences. Above all, dining in New Orleans is fun, whether sharing a box of fried chicken parade-side, sampling vendors at Jazz Fest, or savoring a tasting menu.
