New Blog Series: New Orleans Eats

The dining room at Antoine's--which, ironically, will not be a restaurant featured in this series!

If you’re one of the millions of people observing Lent this spring, boy do I have an annoying series of posts for you!  While you fast and give up indulgences like ice cream, soda, meat on Fridays or (god forbid) alcohol, I shall be posting about the eight amazing meals I enjoyed on my recent trip to New Orleans.  But don’t despair–I’ve found that reading about food (and looking at photos of food) is almost as good as actually eating it.

Except in this case.  Because the food I had in New Orleans was pretty stinking awesome.

I’d been going back and forth on whether or not to do this series of New Orleans food and restaurant review posts.  And then my husband pointed out that of course I should–food is why I went to New Orleans in the first place.  To not write about the things I ate in New Orleans would be like writing about a trip to Disney World without mentioning the rides.

Though I believe I’ve actually done that.

And so, please prepare yourself for a journey through the delicious, delicious calories I consumed in the Big Easy.  Just thinking about all of it makes me want to put on something with an elastic waistband.  Stay tuned!
