Nola or nothing


First the smell of stale beer and cigaret butts hit you in the face like a fucking hammer.... The streets are littered with homeless kids who look like they came out of mad max ( but these kids got banjoes ) nuns dressed in old scHool gear and street entertainers..... A church rises up from behind the streets lined with old pubs and neon light advertising sex and booze. Slowly the sound of jazz comes into your ear and the smell of crawfish steaming in Oldbay.... You my friend are in New Orleans. The city of ..... Well it's the city of lots of things!

New Orleans is the city full of religion and Voodoo.... Saints and sinners.... Where on earth can you be in an old church one second and the next your stuffing dollars into some guys ( or girls) underrooz? Lol
I love new Orleans.... I love the food! It's the so different from NYC! In NY you go to the nice restaurants to get a good meal in NOLA the best food comes out of the hole in the wall kinda places... Iv been to some fine dining restaurants in NOLA and they are ok but if you want great food go to the shittiest pub and ask for the house special! Omg now thats food.
Growing up Italian in NYC I always believed that the NY zeppole was the best of all street food in all the world.... Well I was wrong! Dear Zeppole I'd like you to meet your much better and much cooler red neck cousin Beignet! Zeppole are lightly tossed in powdered sugar and the beignets are mounded in powered sugar.... It's like Pablo Escobar is the chef! Holly good god these things are fucking good! Im ashamed to have my heritage attached to the old school dough of hate that is the zeppole!
And as anyone know the place to cop a bag of dough pillows and the powder of love is Cafe Du Monde..... Good lord I love that place!

And don't get me stated on the other food !
Jambalaya! Omg I can eat this all day!
If you have yet to go to NOLA shut up and book ur trip NOW!
