Jake and I visited my parents in the New Orleans area for Easter. This is the best time of year to visit, because it’s usually peak crawfish season! We hit up our usual favorites, plus a new stop!
First we had a muffaletta pizza from The Italian Pie. It was getting late on Friday after our drive from Houston, and we were hungry, so I missed the picture of this one. It was delicious as always though.
On Saturday morning, we went to brunch at Louie and the Red Head Lady. We had never been here, but after seeing it on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, we had to try it. My parents had already been there twice and loved it. My mom and I got the Eggs New Orleans and Eggs Nouvelle Orleans to share, and they were both excellent. Jake got the Grits and Grillades. The biscuits and gravy were also delicious, and the creamed spinach that comes with all the meals was so good that Jake had seconds!
For lunch, we got boiled crawfish, shrimp, mushrooms, and potatoes from The French Market. We also picked up some Covington Beer. I only snapped a quick picture of a handful of the goods before I dug in.
Our final stop for must-have food was Drago’s. Nobody makes charbroiled oysters like they do.
