The walking tour begins inside the award-winning Red Fish Grill in the French Quarter neighborhood of New Orleans. You will begin with Alligator Sausage & Seafood Gumbo. We also kick the party off with our first cocktail here: the Cat 5 Hurricane. This part of the tour focuses historically on the pre-colonial and colonial period of Louisiana history, and usually lasts about 35 minutes.
2
Pepper Palace
Moving four blocks down you will enter Pepper Palace, where we begin to discuss the Cajun influence, and sample an unlimited variety of hot sauces, BBQ sauces, Buffalo Wings sauces, salsas, dry rubs and more. Customers on the tour will also receive a free bottle of Louisiana-style hot sauce.
3
Napoleon House
Our fourth venue will be a seated experience at the iconic Napoleon House restaurant. Famed for their unique Muffulettas and Pimm's Cup cocktails, you'll enjoy both of those in addition to a savory Chicken and Andouille Sausage Jambalaya. At this point, the Tour Guide will not only explain these dishes, but also the 19th century immigrant patterns to New Orleans that affected Louisiana’s cuisine once again.
4
Bourbon Street
From there you walk past Bourbon Street and move 4 blocks up to Leah’s Pralines: a 3rd generation family-owned candy store. You will sample traditional pralines and their unique Bacon Pecan Brittle.
5
Decatur Street
Next you'll head to the James Beard Award-nominated Cane & Table. With a focus on rustic colonial cuisine and playful rum drinks, you will sample their fried plantains with lime crema and salsa macha and a classic daiquiri of Caribbean white rum, fresh lime and sugar.
6
Jackson Square
Pass by the iconic Jackson Square during your walking food tour.
