To say that my sister and I enjoyed the food during our trip to New Orleans would be an understatement. Anticipating a blog post like this (and for posterity), I took photos of nearly everything we ate, and checked in at each restaurant using Foursquare.
Foursquare normally annoys me, but in this case, was very helpful in logging all the places we went, on which days we went, and so on.
(Unless otherwise noted, my meal is in the foreground.)

Dinner: Parasol’s Restaurant & BarMe: Hot Sausage Po Boy. Despite being a lifelong disliker of pickles, I decided to try my sandwich with them anyway, having ordering it “dressed.” While I’m not sure they added much, it was not bad with pickles. Mine was also a little light on meat, at least compared to Allison’s. Allison: Roast Beef Po Boy. |

Lunch: Gumbo ShopMe: Red Beans & Rice with Smoked Sausage Gumbo. Gumbo was yumbo. Allison: Chicken Andouille Gumbo. |
 |
Dinner: Port of CallBoth: Burgers (mine with cheese, hers with mushrooms) with baked potato. While I was a little surprised at the lack of fries as an option, I didn’t mind at all. The baked potato was amazing. Also, I wasn’t going to break out the flash, but yeah, the lighting was a little on the low side. |

Brunch: Slim Goodies DinerMe: Robert Johnson Burger Allison: Havana Omelet. Came with tortillas! |
 |
Snack: Creole CreameryMe: Black & Gold Crunch Ice Cream Allison: Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream |
Dinner: Verti MarteVerti Marte, a convenience store with sandwich counter in the back, had no seating, so we ate this meal in the car. Sorry, no photo; we were hungry. Me: Muffaletta, something I had never tried. My reaction was along the lines of: “I’m pretty sure I’d list half of the ingredients on my do-not-like list, but boy are they good together!” Quite possibly my food highlight of the trip. Allison: BBQ Po Boy |

Lunch: Willie Mae’s Scotch HouseMe: Chicken Fried Pork Chop. Mine was good, but I was jealous of her chicken. Allison: Fried chicken. Quite possibly the best I’ve ever tried. |

Me: (From left) Jalapeño and Andouille Sausage; Greek; Fresh |
New Orleans: A++++ Would nom again~~~
I think the po’ boy may have been favorite meal of the trip. Not only because we were super hungry that night and it totally hit the spot, but because I had actually never heard of po’ boys before. Regardless though, every single meal we ate that trip was amazing. And that ice cream! I must find an ice cream brand that can replicate how yummy that was.
Also, follow-up comment: The skin/coating on the fried chicken was to die for. I have no idea how they did it, but I’ve never tasted more delicious fried chicken.
