Eat Dat New Orleans: A Guide to the Unique Food Culture of the Crescent City, Paperback

In this fully revised and updated new edition, Eat Dat New Orleans celebrates both New Orleans's food and its people. It highlights nearly 250 eating spots--sno-cone stands and food carts as well as famous restaurants--and spins tales of the city's food lore, such as the controversial history of gumbo and the Shakespearean drama of restaurateur Owen Brennan and his heirs. Both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers will be helped by a series of appendices that list restaurants by cuisine, culinary classes and tours, food festivals, and indispensable "best of" lists chosen by an A-list of the city's food writers and media personalities, including Poppy Tooker, Lolis Eric Elie, Ian Mc Nulty, Sara Roahen, Marcelle Bienvenu, Amy C. Sins, and Liz Williams.
