New Orleans – Home of Comfort Food
Mother’s Restaurant for Jambalya, Gumbo & Po Boy’s
Cafe Du Monde for Beignets and Cafe Au Lait
Dooky Chase’s for Fried Chicken
Having just watched ‘Princess and the Frog’ to prep for the Bayou, we had to bike out here to check out the restaurant that inspired Tiana’s story. A chance blackout in the area didn’t stop us from enjoying chicken in the dark!
Drago’s for Chargrilled Oysters
Come at your own risk, both for your health and your taste buds because after eating these cheese and buttor topped chargrilled oysters, nothing else you’ll eat this trip will hit your taste buds the same. Drago’s oyster bar also lets you see how they grill them up and it’s truly a sight to see.
Acme’s Oyster House for Chargrilled Oysters
And if you’re going to have chargrilled oysters, it seems everyone says you HAVE to try Acme’s version.
Other notables this trip:
- Ruby Slipper Cafe for brunch
- Kilwin’s for ice cream
- Kingfish for Boudin balls

Still trying to find out who this raspy voiced trumpeteer was…brought the house down every set!
