New Orleans - A Must Visit for Foodies Everywhere!

Hello Foodies,

The cuisine is an exciting blend of French, Spanish, Italian, African, Native American, Cajun, Creole, and Cuban and there is only one place to find it - New Orleans! The cuisine also draws heavily from the use of local ingredients, that may include crawfish or mudbugs, pompano and black drum fish, shrimp and blue crab, sweet pecans, Gulf oysters, etc. These ingredients find their way into all sorts of amazing dishes like an Étouffée (pronounced ay-too-FAY), meaning to smother, it is a Cajun stew traditionally made with crawfish, vegetables, and a dark roux.

Tour de Forks makes it easy with a 5 day guided tour called "A Taste of New Orleans." Highlights include: in-demand restaurants like "Casamento's" and pork-happy "Cochon" with pre-dinner visit to their butcher shop, a hands-on cooking class at NOCE, and an exclusive tour of Alice Waters-inspired Edible Schoolyard of New Orleans launched after hurricane Katrina. By the end of your visit, you'll know the difference between Creole and Cajun cooking and where to find the finest sazerac. Click here for more details.

Enjoy,

the Forks
