New Orleans Jazz Fest - Food!

We had brunch at the Ruby Slipper on S. Cortez my first full day in N.O.
That guy was a lot to handle even before he drank that pretty strawberry mojito.


I can honestly say I never understood all the fuss about Southern grits until I ate them with the most delicious crab cakes I've ever had served with poached eggs and a home-made biscuit.

The FOOD at Jazz fest nearly matched the music as the main attraction- it was booth after booth of Cajun goodness:
my personal highlight was this shredded duck meat po' boy:

A midnight snack - ultra powder-sugary beignets from Cafe Du Monde. That's the only food they serve! And no, they don't sell skim milk silly, silly girl.

Ahh, fried catfish and gumbo for breakfast. I had spicey shrimp and grits (not shown).


Honorable mention: Cochon on Tchoupitoulas Street - if you ever go to N.O., eat there!
