At Lunch Now (N.O. Edition): Cochon de Lait Po-Boy

5:15 pm.  A roast pork po-boy, dressed of course (in New Orleans that means mayo,
lettuce and tomato). Salty, smokey and amazing. A great way to enjoy
pulled pork. I think that may be it for today… even at Jazzfest I
think eating at 5:15 may be considered dinner.   

These photos were live-blogged from the 1st weekendo of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.  Check out previous entries: Crabmeat Po’boy, Daquiri & Gospel, Crawfish Monica, Patton’s Catering Combo, Cafe Au Lait, & Crawfish Bread.

At Lunch Now (N.O. Edition): Crabmeat Po-Boy


3:45 PM. The first po-boy of the weekend. Can’t just jump right into the soft
shelled crawfish or cochon de lait po-boy. You gotta work your way up.
It’s 3:45 here. That’s still lunchtime, right?

3:04 PM. A SoCo Frozen Daquiri (hurricane/lime mixture) in the Gospel Tent. Life
is good.

At Lunch Now (New Orleans Edition): Crawfish Monica


2:49 PM. Ah yes. The famed crawfish monica (that name is trademarked by the
way). I think somebody referred to this as the hamburger helper of
crawfish. Um… if hamburger helper tasted like this, I’d be president
of the hamburger helper fan club. Pasta, cream sauce, cajun spices and
crawfish. What’s not to like.

At Lunch Now (New Orleans Edition): Patton’s Catering Combo


1:48 PM. Why choose one when you can get the combo! Crawfish Beignets, Crawfish Sack & the Oyster Pattie ($12). I think we’ve hit the motherload. Picking a favorite is impossible so why bother trying. Not spicy enough? They give you a little mini tabasco bottle. I think it may be time for a daquiri.

At Lunch Now (New Orleans Edition): Cafe Au Lait


12:43 PM.  We were in such a rush to get here we skipped breakfast (and caffeine). Can you follow crawfish bread with an iced Cafe Au Lait? Might lead to disaster. We’ll see.  Nothing like chickory coffee to get you going…

At Lunch Now (New Orleans Edition): Crawfish Bread


12:33 PM. Gotta kick Jazzfest 2007 off right. Straight to the crawfish bread. More like a cajun calzone than “bread”, it’s pretty freakin’ good. You may say the secret ingredient is cheese. Nothing like this in Midtown…
