Believe me. It's that good.
| |  | | The Good TImes Are Rolling...Let's Go! | | | While the maternal side of my family is from Louisiana, I am sad to say I have never been to a New Orleans Mardi Gras. I too cannot believe it. All of that laissez les bonne temps roulez, food, and fun looks like a time to be had. Bucket list, make some room.
Thankfully I have been to New Orleans and can attest to the legacy of this food city. I make sure I get it all in when I'm there. From a good Sazerac cocktail and an oyster or shrimp po' boy, or a muffaletta sando to all of kinds of killer sweets like native bananas foster, essential beignets from Cafe Du Monde or pralines (watch that pronunciation), and all of the good stuff in between. There's that étouffée and jambalaya that you cannot say without ending up with a smile on your face. And I'm missing out if I don't get messy with New Orleans BBQ shrimp.
As if the food angels have aligned just in time for the celebration, we just completed photography on my family recipe for Louisiana Creole gumbo. When I tell you, you need to tell your mama to protect her face after you try it for fear of a slap, believe me. Yes, it is THAT good.
Now, either head out and support a local baker or make this simple king cake with store bought ingredients and don't forget to add a little hidden token for a lucky guest to discover. Go forth and let the good times roll. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Spruce Eats on YouTube | | | | | | | | | | | |
