i used to live in Orleans Parish & you are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CORRECT about the food down there. especially the beignets & french market coffee on Sunday mornings!!!! ( i went to grad school at tulane for 2 years)
btw, the best "poor boy"sandwiches in the WORLD are at the Dixie Bar & Grill in Marathon, LA. the poor boys have a 1/2 pound of freshly fried shrimp AND a 1/2 pound of freshly fried LA oysters on each one!!!!! the DB&G owns their OWN boat-you can't get FRESHER shrimp & fish than THAT!
