This is my “Baby Banana Split” from Creole Creamery in NOLA. “Black and gold crunch” ice cream with sliced banana and hot fudge. With whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry on top of course.
This is the Mediterranean burger (and pasta salad)from one of my favorite NOLA restaurants, Angeli on Decatur. It’s my go-to lunch spot after a day of shopping in the Quarter.

Here’s what I had Sunday at the New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival. We got there later in the afternoon so most of the off-the-wall stuff that everyone wants to try was sold out.
I didn’t want a standard roast beef or fried shrimp, so first I had a cochon de lait which is French for delicious. Kidding, it’s suckling pig. But “cochon de lait” makes it sound more “amazing food” and less “Babe: Pig in the City.” It was good. It could’ve used more meat but I’m sure they were trying to conserve product in order to last through the festival.
Of course like 15 minutes later I laid eyes on the pork cheek po-boy from Delmonico, but I didn’t want to load up on pork. Because, y’know, I can get that at home.
On the way out I gave in to the sashimi po-boy from Ninja Sushi which had salmon, cucumber, onion, wasabi mayo and maybe cream cheese? I don’t remember… uh… did I mention there was beer? Anyway, I only ended up eating half of it because I was still a little full. The onions were a bit strong but other than that it was a tasty bit of cultural fusion.
