NEW ORLEANS FOOD TOUR | DIY Best food in French Quarter NOLA

[@TravelingisFREEDOM]

This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!

New Orleans is one of my bucket-list places because of their food. The shots of the city just capture the atmosphere that is so iconic. Love it❣

We always enjoy visiting NOLA - you'll love it 😀

[@harleymorgan3237]

New Orleans is my go-to city. Been coming to NO for over 40 years. I am a HUGE foodie and there is no other city like NO or The French Quarter. You stopped at one of my favorite restaurants, The Gumbo Shop. It's pretty good, and I am an acquaintance of the GM, but I prefer Oceana. Cafe Du Monde is historical restaurant, but I prefer Cafe Beignet. Next trip, try Irene's or The Pelican Club for dinner.Head down to Magazine Street or Esplanade for other great restaurants.

Awesome, thank you so much for the recommendations! Always great to hear from locals with recommendations 😃

Pedestrian Malls are areas that ban motor traffic. Many residents do not want these zones to spread.

[@theRTWguys]

Understood. Thanks for clarifying, Tad 😀

[@torrenikki]

Preservation Hall isn’t open right now because indoor live music in the city is prohibited due to Covid. It’s been really difficult for musicians. Most of them have been unemployed for the last year.

Hi Guys. The New Orleans City Council is trying to pass and ordinance that allows some French Quarter streets to become no vehicle pedestrian malls. The residents are opposed to this. Take care.

[@theRTWguys]

Good to know! Thanks for clarifying :)

[@drmason1]

Great video guys!!!. I'm surprised you didnt look up and play the song about Marie laveau ,pronounced La-voh. You should have looked up the Bobby Bare song and played a bit of it. A pretty cool song

[@theRTWguys]

Will check that out! Thanks Daniel 😁

[@JennyinIllinois]

What type of camera do you use? I am in New Orleans and I recorded a lot with my phone (Galaxy Note) the newest one. I can't remember what it's called and for some reason the quality sucks.

[@theRTWguys]

Hey Jenny - if you are serious of making videos etc, you may want to consider. using real cameras instead of your phone. Phone may be good to capture instant moment, but I don't think it is good to make more professional style videos. Here's the complete list of our vlogging gear thertwguys.com/travel-vlogging-gear/

Nobody in New Orleans gets a barbecued shrimp "poor boy" fried is the only way it comes, shrimp,oyster, softshell crab, or crawfish.. 😅😂😁

[@theRTWguys]

Fully noted - a great reason to be back someday! 😀

[@torrenikki]

While fried seafood poboys are definitely more well known, I actually used to live next door to Nola Poboy and always got the barbecue shrimp poboy. And it’s worth noting that barbecue shrimp in New Orleans is different that why most of the country might consider BBQ. It’s made with more of a buttery gravy. Also, one of the best poboys is the All That Jazz at Verti Marte, which isn’t fried seafood either.

[@walewilliams6298]

[@kevechevroletcoupee4621]

I'm born and raised here and live right here in the Fr Quarter, the Gumbo shop has the WORST gumbo ever. It's thick like a stew!!!! Most natives never eat gumbo out, cause we all make the best at home ourselves, and dats da truth!!! I just ate a bowl of Chicken and Andouille gumbo that I made, Andouille from LaPlace Louisiana, the Andouille capital of the world!!! Wit a bowl of potato salad, I'm a "floater", that means I love my potato salad in da gumbo, me!!! First ya make a roux.........Mon Dieu, make yo teeth slap ya gums, Mais ya!!!!!😂🥰🇺🇸

[@theRTWguys]

Oh man, I'd love to try any good homemade gumbo bowls! Unfortunately we are just visiting, so our options are limited. 😀

[@mcmneverreadsreplys7318]

1. Mark 7 40ish: Yes a PoBoy looks like what is called in other places a Sub (submarine Sandwich) or a Grinder. What makes PoBoys different is the bread. If the bread is not crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside (regardless of what it is called) it is NOT a New Orleans PoBoy. Even master PoBoy bread makers from NOLA who tried to make PoBoy bread in Baton Rouge (appx an hour NW or NOLA) could not do it. We call it French bread but you can't even get this anywhere in France. 2. Mark 9:39ish: Laveau is pronounced in French as La Voo (as in voodo). HOWEVER, other commonly accepted (at least since dueling was made illegal) NOLA pronunciations are La Vo (with a long O, as well as La Vore - rhymes with four). 3. Re: best gumbo in the whole city: EVERY place that serves food in NOLA serves the best in the whole city - just "axs 'em". 4. Some try to make Beignets outside of NOLA, but even if you use an authentic Beignets mix, it just doesn't compare; even though - Yes - it is basically the same as 'funnel cake. Some say it has something to do with humidity and air pressure (NOLA being below sea level). Also, at Cafe Du Monde the coffee is "coffee & chicory with warm milk" and is called Cafe au lait (pronounced O Lay). You can get the chicory coffee black or decaf or French roast without Chicory. A warning: the coffee in NOLA is generally dark French roast; it comes when you call (coffee at national chain restaurants generally excepted.) Mark 12:54: Étouffée translates "smothered" NOT stuffed. HOWEVER, you did pronounce New Orleans like a native.

[@theRTWguys]

Very informative! Thanks for the awesome clarification 😊

[@theRTWguys]

Also, LOL at "since dueling was made illegal" 😆

[@gregorypollet2194]

Your reason on why Nola uses tombs is wrong and that is the typical assumption. However, the reason is actually for land conservation because land wasn’t abundant in early Nola history so by using tombs families could reuse the tomb forever and not require more and more land plots. They are still using the tombs on st luis cemetery to this day and some tombs have dozens of family members in them over a century. People can absolutely so buried in the ground in Nola and that’s typical now... research a bit more.. very interesting. Nola is so much more than food, I implore you to actually look into its history and culture... you will be blown away. There is no place like it in the states.

Gotta eat the Muff warm. Don't listen to those room temp advocates. They are WRONG! Get the muff heated, period. BBQ shrimp Poboy? What the hell are you doing? Fried shrimp Poboy is the pinnacle, fully dressed! You're lettin' me down brutha. Ain't nobody in NOLA eatin' some crazy ass BBQ shrimp Poboy. Fried shrimp, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and maybe pickle. That's the dive brutha. Anything else is fake. Did ya hear me? Fake! Just like fake news, HA!
