Gumbo city
Author Sara Roahen talks about her love affair with the big, decadent flavors of the Big Easy -- from crawfish and beer, to gumbo, and deep-fried oysters and brie. All guilt-free.

  • jambalaya...

    Go to Coop's Place. It looks like a hole-in-the-wall dive bar because it is a hole-in-the-wall dive bar, but it's got excellent jambalaya. It's on Decatur near Ursulines and next to Molly's at the Market. Get the "Rabbit and Sausage Jambalaya Supreme", which, in addition to rabbit meat and sausage, usually also has shrimp, crawfish tails, and tasso in it.

    Everybody else, it seems, heats up Zatarain's and charges tourists $7.95 for it.

    (Coop's also has an excellent eggplant parmesean, but they don't have it every day.)
