This is just a starting point. Plan on exploring multiple neighborhoods during our time together as we discover Culture through Cuisine. What is Creole cuisine? What makes it different from Cajun cooking? And which style of cooking typifies New Orleans? We explore all these questions and more as we guide you through the history of New Orleans through food. We move through the city’s history one bite at a time, from the indigenous roots of the city, to French and Spanish colonization, the myriad contributions of African culture, to waves of immigrants like the Italians, Irish, Germans, and Vietnamese. Along the way we will try iconic dishes as well as lesser-known local specialties, and learn how food has played a pivotal role in the history and development of the city. Our tour includes a minimum of six food stops and at least one drink stop. A leisurely walking tour, it takes approximately 5 hours and is rain or shine. So wear comfortable shoes and bring your appetite and curiosity.
