New Orleans has many iconic foods, and they all deserve tasting, as well as an understanding of where they come from. We will do both on this local tasting and cultural tour of the French Quarter. While visiting places like the French Market, Jackson Square, and food purveyors of the French Quarter, we'll explore the diverse influences that brought the city treats like beignets, gumbo, and sausages. We'll try some too!
Your culinary tour of New Orleans starts where it all began, the banks of the Mississippi River. From here, you’ll witness the lifeblood of this region which brought new cultures, new influences, and new ingredients to the USA through its ports.
