Try Delta Grill near 9th Ave. & 48th St. Also, there’s Cajun around 8th Ave. and 16th Street for po-boys. I’m from Baton Rouge, La., so you can trust me on this.

I’m a Tulane Graduate, as well, and I’ve been explaining to friends for a long time that there is no good “Cajun” restaurant outside of Louisiana.

Even so, I wouldn’t call NOLA the food capital of the US, it could never match the sheer diversity of the New York City food scene, but for a small city it definitely packs a big punch.

That said, I was in NO the weekend before Katrina, and I haven’t been back since. Your posts make me really want to go back and eat. I need some sno-balls.

There are some amazing NO style places in parts of Brooklyn that you wouldn’t want to venture into without a car, GPS and glock.

I am definitely trying to get a trip together to go to NO, but it’s been hard to get other people to want to go *with* me.

Aside from that, blasphemy! the greatest food city in the US, possibly the world, is NYC. Not because NYC cuisine reigns supreme but because you can get just about anything you want here. You can get NO food… though I’m quick to add it’s not as good as the originals, of course. I hesitate to recommend any of the places that have been recommended to me, because, despite only having been to NO once, they didn’t come close, but there’s somewhere out there that’s got it.

PS – lame excuse for a favorite food! I grew up eating Chinese food (the real kind) and rice and all that and it’s not my favorite food :) haha I’m just teasing. Great profile.
