Welcome to New Orleans, Louisiana, one of the most iconic food cities in the entire country. This trip was all about the classics: the po boy, the gumbo, and the beignet, three dishes that define New Orleans eating and that locals will argue about for hours over which spot does them best. In this video, I taste my way through the city with three goals: try the iconic po boy, find real New Orleans gumbo, and eat both a sweet and a savory beignet before leaving town. If you love New Orleans food, Louisiana travel, or Cajun and Creole eats, this is a deep dive into some of the most legendary bites in the French Quarter and beyond. What I tried: Parkway Bakery, local po boy shop, named Best Po Boy in Louisiana by USA Today: fried shrimp po boy and fries Lil Dizzy's Cafe, family owned and Black owned: gumbo, fried chicken, collard greens, mac and cheese, bread pudding, and a sweet potato cookie Loretta's Authentic Pralines: powdered sugar beignet, praline filled beignet, and a savory crab beignet Heard Dat Kitchen, near the Superdome, owned by James Beard nominated chef Jeff Heard: the Superdome (blackened fish, mashed potatoes, onion rings, lobster cream sauce) and the seafood extravaganza Super Witch, local family owned soft serve stand: Oreo swirl and traditional twist soft serve with a fresh baked cookie New Orleans, Louisiana Ross Eats is a food travel creator who explores buffets, markets, theme parks, cruise dining, and nostalgic food destinations through immersive walkthroughs, honest ratings, and budget friendly travel insights.
