The Great Tastes of New Orleans


Another Mardi Gras has arrived, so as the French say, "Laissez les bons temps rouler." Let the good times roll!

While we missed our chance to see all the Mardi Gras madness firsthand (sounds like a great road trip for people in their early 20's), that doesn't mean we can't partake in all the great pageantry and food New Orleans has to offer. The traditional colors of Mardi Gras are green, gold and purple so we plan to dress up in our most festive attire and decorate a King Cake as best we can. The King Cake is a Mardi Gras tradition- it's basically a giant cinnamon roll with colorful icing and a toy hidden inside or underneath. Whoever finds the toy gets good luck (and has to host the next party).

For our New Orleans feast we turned to the FoodPair Recipe Search Engine to find our favorite examples of classic dishes from Beignets in the morning, to Po' Boys for lunch and finally Etouffe and Jambalaya for dinner.

FoodPair has thousands of New Orelans-themed dishes, so make sure to use our powerful filters to customize your search for your family's tastes and diet.
