New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans, good ole New Orleans (pronounced New Orlins), the undisputed food capital of the South. In the Big Easy, the heat alone is enough to slow your pace. But when you sit down to a big meal on a hot day, you have no choice but to watch the world go by. People usually think Cajun food when they visit NOLA – New Orleans Louisiana – but are surprised at the international cuisine available. Settled by the Spanish and the French, NOLA is equipped to satisfy any taste bud. From muffuletta sandwiches (which owe a nod to local Italian immigrants), Italian ice cream to gumbo, the world of food is at your finger tips. Other hometown favorites are dirty rice, blackened redfish, Bananas Foster, King Cake, soft-shell crab po'boy sandwiches and the traditional Crescent City breakfast of beignets and chicory-flavored coffee with steamed milk (cafe au lait). Favor an extra splash of heat on your gumbo? Tabasco sauce is made on Avery Island, a bird and nature preserve.

American Potato Salad

Reviewed on jul. 4, 2009 by ghc630 
I make my potato salad the same way except I don't use the green pepper. I use garlic instead. Add parsley, maybe some sweet or dill relish and yellow mustard and you gotta party!!

Potted Beef

Reviewed on jun. 30, 2009 by tessa 
I have not made this yet, but it sounds exceptional. I would love to know if there is an easier way to grind or puree the meat.
