Spooky season is officially over (sadly) and now we’re gearing up for earlier sunsets, cooler weather (hopefully) and candles that smell of leaves, pumpkin, cinnamon and pine. But The Times-Picayune staff would be remiss not to tell you about nine great dishes we had in October as we prepare...

This Louisiana Café Serves Delicious Gluten-Free Waffles, Plant-Based Burgers And Sweet Treats

The bacon on one sandwich here is made from adzuki beans. Yes, beans. And the kitchen cooks with olive oil only, skipping seed oils and refined sugars entirely. That would be bold anywhere. In Louisiana, where fried food is practically a love language, it feels downright rebellious. I like how this café makes healthy eating sound fun instead of strict.

Blakeview: These three New Orleans po-boy spots ain't dere no more

In honor of the 18th annual Oak Street Po-Boy Festival this weekend, we remember some po-boy purveyors of the past. One of them, Acy’s Pool Hall, had a sign over its bar that advertised its sandwiches as the best in the world, according to restaurant reviewer Tom Fitzmorris. In his book “Lost Restaurants of New Orleans,” co-written with Peggy Scott Laborde, Fitzmorris wrote that the statement “may have been going a little far – but only a little.”

These 10 Louisiana Meat Markets Make Stocking The Freezer A Delicious Road Trip

The turducken, that famous turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken, traces back to a hunter’s request at a small butcher counter in 1984. One guy walked in with three birds and a wild idea. A holiday legend was born. I love that a meat counter can...

How the Turducken Made Its Way From New Orleans to Sarasota

We’ve all had some interesting cravings, but turducken? The idea of a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey was said to have been inspired by a customer’s request at Hebert’s Specialty Meats in South Louisiana. In 1986, famed New Orleans chef Paul Prudhomme trademarked the term and popularized the dish. Then Alpine Steakhouse, a family-owned business in Sarasota, boarded the turducken train and began selling its now signature dish here in 1996.

This No-Nonsense New Orleans, Louisiana, Counter Has Been Serving Classic Po-Boys Since 1922

Every single week, a kitchen in Louisiana slow-cooks more than 1,000 pounds of roast beef and stirs up over 50 gallons of gravy. That’s not a typo, and it’s not a holiday special either. Put that into perspective for a second: all that gravy has one main job, which is soaking straight into a loaf of French bread.

We Ranked 11 Louisiana Restaurants With Mississippi River Views Worth Savoring

One Louisiana barbecue spot starts serving breakfast at 3:30 in the morning. That’s before most roosters bother to clock in. Grab a seat outside, and big ships drift past just over the levee. Another river town spot opens at 4 a.m. for Cajun barbecue. Some of us can barely find the coffee pot by then.

Is Vampire Café ghoulishly good or a gimmick? Here’s what I thought as a New Orleans native.

It wasn’t the flimsy blood bags flowing with ‘fangria,’ the paper bats dangling from chandeliers or the obscure psychedelic music blaring overheard that first caught my attention at New Orleans Vampire Cafe. It was, rather, the people there. The host stood in front of a snaking line...
