Experience Details

Combining the history of Louisiana cuisine and New Orleans-style cocktails, this event is a feast for the senses!


Along with your guide you will visit up 6 locations: award-winning seafood restaurants, James Beard Award-nominated craft cocktail lounges, Creole restaurants, artisanal candy stores and more.


Once inside you’ll sample up to 6 or more different dishes that represent the modern expressions of our culinary heritage: classic dishes like gumbo, and muffulettas, but also new interpretations like sweet fried plantains with lime crema!


We'll also enjoy 4 full-sized cocktails like the refreshing Pimm's Cup, the rum-heavy Hurricane, the classic Daiquiri and more!


This 4-hour gastronomic odyssey is our way of showing you where we like to go now, and what we like to eat and drink once we're there.


With so many dining and drinking options in New Orleans, why not try up to 6 different places in one fell swoop?!

What You’ll Experience

French Quarter

The walking tour begins inside the award-winning Red Fish Grill in the French Quarter neighborhood of New Orleans. You will begin with Alligator Sausage & Seafood Gumbo. We also kick the party off with our first cocktail here: the Cat 5 Hurricane. This part of the tour focuses historically on the pre-colonial and colonial period of Louisiana history, and usually lasts about 35 minutes.

Pepper Palace

Moving four blocks down you will enter Pepper Palace, where we begin to discuss the Cajun influence, and sample an unlimited variety of hot sauces, BBQ sauces, Buffalo Wings sauces, salsas, dry rubs and more. Customers on the tour will also receive a free bottle of Louisiana-style hot sauce.

Napoleon House

Our fourth venue will be a seated experience at the iconic Napoleon House restaurant. Famed for their unique Muffulettas and Pimm's Cup cocktails, you'll enjoy both of those in addition to a savory Chicken and Andouille Sausage Jambalaya. At this point, the Tour Guide will not only explain these dishes, but also the 19th century immigrant patterns to New Orleans that affected Louisiana’s cuisine once again.
