Eating in NOLA:

I know, I know. I gave a bunch of big talk about live blogging Jazz Fest food. It didn't happen, but here's what I can do for you. One picture of crawfish beignets. They were from... I don't remember where they were from but they were really good.



I know I shirked my duty. I didn't even take pictures of everything. There was a Cochon du Lait po-boy and a fried oyster spinach salad consumed that I didn't even get the camera out for.

If you are looking for a better Jazz Fest post then check out this post and these pictures from this guy you might know. Oh and look, we have similar tastes!

Well it has been while since we posted. We have been busy. Mainly with school but also with French Quarter Fest like everyone else. So why not a festival food post? Evey one loves New Orleans festival food and we are no exception. We got a few pretty good things too.

We chose Love at First Bite on Friday when we went to see Soul Rebels on the waterfront. This is what the people that worked there looked like.


And this is what the food looked like. Crawfish Pasta for KM and I had a Cochon de Lait po-boy for me. Maybe the best po-boy I've ever had. There was so much pig in it I almost felt guilty.


Saturday we met up with some fellow MBA's and drank a few drinks and listened to a little music, but also ate some shrimp. Like this shrimp with cheddar and bacon grits from Saltwater Grill.

AND... these "shrimp" skewers from Bubba Gump's. I like that in New Orleans Shrimp Skewers come with Andoullie.

So... sorry for a delayed post but it should be a good warm up for Jazz Fest posts. I'll probably live blog via my phone so that should be really really exciting for everyone. Tell your friends and see you there. And more posts soon I promise.

The Tulane Energy Club held a crawfish boil on Friday with all you can eat crawfish, all you can drink beer, and all you can enjoy company of other Tulane MBA's and friends for $20. Not a bad deal.

We went because Jordan had never eaten crawfish and what better way to spend a sunny warm Friday than on the banks of the Mississippi eating mud bugs?

All the standard steps were carried out. The crawfish started out alive and in a bucket. Later in the day we actually saw one escaping toward the River.


But most got boiled up with some potatoes, corn, sausage, onions, seasoning, and love.


...then poured out onto a comunity table for general consumption.


We sent Jordan to go get our crawfish for us because he said he was tall and could box people out. So he brought them back in this box and we ate them with our keg Bud Light. Everyone else was smiling but I made this face for some reason:


There was music from a band, Ether and the Movement, whose lead singer is a fellow Tulane MBA.  The singer's name is Nich Cope, and he's a first-year with us.  This was their first gig as a band, so they were excited to play for us.


Then a train pulled up and Jordan got underneath it.


And then on top of it.
