| Nowhere else will
you come across such matchless cuisine as found at the New Orleans
Jazz and Heritage Festival. The Food Fair offers classic New Orleans
staples and over time has expanded to include Creole and Cajun offerings
as well as international cuisine
The dizzying array of choices extends beyond pot-cooked favorites
such as Creole filé gumbo, collard greens, crowder peas and
okra, shrimp and sausage macque choux and two styles of jambalaya
to New Orleans’ famous po-boy sandwiches stuffed with anything
from fried local oysters to spicy Cajun roasted duck. Savories include
Creole hot tamales, stuffed artichokes, shrimp cocktail, and crawfish
spinach and zucchini bisque. Don’t forget to try such highly
portable crowd pleasers as fried pork chop sandwich, turkey giardinera
po-boy, boudin balls, fried ‘gator with onions and jalapenos
and cracklins. Indulge your sweet tooth with Roman chewing candy,
peach cobbler, red velvet cake, sweet potato pie, traditional pralines,
cannoli or Louisiana strawberry ice. Look also for the return of
our popular child friendly menu in the kid’s area.
In addition to the many fine foods offered, there are two cooking
stages at the Grandstand demonstrating our rich culinary history,
and offering samples of signature dishes from local chefs, fishermen,
and home cooks.
