crawfish po'boy
EmilySC at 5:36PM on 11/26/07
jambalaya, I s'pose, thought I've never been to the city to have the "real thing." :(
ironstef at 5:39PM on 11/26/07
I love a well-seasoned gumbo - with lots of shrimp
suegsf at 5:43PM on 11/26/07
Spicy Jambalaya!!!
LindaY at 5:50PM on 11/26/07
As a Louisiana native...it's hard to come up with a favorite. But right up there is shrimp etouffee. So delicious!
SparklingDiamond at 5:59PM on 11/26/07
I just loved all the seafood that was available when I visited New Orleans. Huge platters of oysters, gourmet soft shell crabs, scallops and on and on. It was a real foodie paradise for me :)
sarahdlr at 6:07PM on 11/26/07
I love the BBQ shrimp at Pascal's Manale. It never fails to evoke those memories of old.
awtane at 6:15PM on 11/26/07
Can I cheat a bit? Parkway Bakery with my sweetheart...one of us gets a roast beef po'boy dressed and dripping with gravy, the other gets the fried shrimp po'boy, and we split halves.
Technically, it's two dishes.
faegood at 6:18PM on 11/26/07
Red Beans and Rice
gscherr at 6:21PM on 11/26/07
Mmm...seafood gumbo definitely...I think it's the only time I eat okra sadly.
uninorth at 6:21PM on 11/26/07
Veggie and seafood gumbos.
KarynMC at 6:24PM on 11/26/07
It's a toss up between really good gumbo and a crawfish boil.
tjrogers at 6:26PM on 11/26/07
Beignets can't be beat in my book!
bobcatsteph3 at 6:26PM on 11/26/07
Red Beans and Rice with Boudin and a Hurricane to drink. Mmmm thinking about it is making me hungry!
teeny at 6:31PM on 11/26/07
I loved everything about New Orleans. I really loved Bayona - I had a stuffed baby chicken. When I was there (almost 5 years ago) there were stuffed grape leaves with the baby chicken and it was glorious.
Um, my fave typical New Orleans dish? Oyster po' boys and / or jambalaya!
lo82070 at 6:37PM on 11/26/07
debris po'boy. Debris is basically all the little bits of all the various meats that get cooked on the griddle. These little bits are swept to the side and kind of left there to stew in their greases and juices, until they are scooped up and put into the sandwich. Mmmmmmm, debris.

pieninja at 7:16PM on 11/26/07
That's a hard one, but I'd have to go with jambalaya!
deborahm4 at 7:29PM on 11/26/07
Crawfish etouffee! My friend from Louisiana makes the BEST one ever!
Yogamum at 7:30PM on 11/26/07
I do love a good jambalaya.
TheJTrain at 7:49PM on 11/26/07
jambalaya hands down
pezbabypez at 8:12PM on 11/26/07
I like soft shell crab po-boys.

crawfish boil. mmmm crawfish boils are amazing.
anado at 8:52PM on 11/26/07
Though it can now be found pretty much anywhere, and is not strongly associated with the city, Bananas Foster was created in New Orleans, and it's one of my favorite deserts. On the savory side, I love some good blackened fish.
Nicholas H at 8:55PM on 11/26/07
Oh god. Where to start?! I visited NO in 2002 and I still remember the food and cook it with love.
I totally love the comfort of red beans and rice. Nice and smokey flavour with some good andouille sausage in there. I sit down with a bowl and it's seconds or thirds for me.
Beignet of course as well and wonderful gumbo are also on the list. Beautiful catfish po'boys.
Ok I'm booking my ticket back...

Red beans & rice, crawfish boil, jambalaya, any kind of po boy
joshtims at 9:19PM on 11/26/07
i live about 45 miles north of new orleans and my favorites are a dressed beef poboy, i want gravy running down my forearms, bbq shrimp with crusty french bread, any type of gumbo with a potato salad side, properly blackened steak, redfish cooked on the pit, red beans and rice with andouille, shrimp or crawfish etouffe and smothered anything....if we have enough onions, bell peppers and celery, we can smother a pound of concrete. (but you gotta have rice with it)
olddad at 9:32PM on 11/26/07
BBQ Shrimp from Manale's is my all-time favorite New Orleans dish in the whole world (Who am I kidding, it's my all time favorite dish in the world). I still think about to this day.
OK, wait, I have a second favorite. The chargrilled oysters from Drago's in Metarie.
God I miss New Orleans. It's time for a trip.
foodiegirl71 at 9:53PM on 11/26/07
i had an amazing fried shrimp po boy when i was in new orleans.
pfibiger at 10:18PM on 11/26/07
Oyster po'boy, of course!
madball911 at 10:49PM on 11/26/07
Again, Muffaletta from Central Grocery and beignets from Cafe du Monde
lupinea02 at 11:13PM on 11/26/07
Oyster po'boys! Yum!
laurakitty at 11:31PM on 11/26/07
Chicken Gumbo - the way the locals make it! Sadly, I've never tasted anything like it since I used to live there.
jkkahn at 11:45PM on 11/26/07
I thought this was going to be the hardest question in the world. I mean, how can you compare a Napoleon House muffaletta and Pimm's Cup lunch to a Cafe du Monde beignets and coffee breakfast? Acme's oyster po boy to Arnaud's Pompano en Croute? Coop's fried chicken to a Treme street party mudbug boil? Jambalaya to gumbo to red beans and rice?
Then I remembered that the last time I was down there I ate at Cochon, and the roasted oyster appetizer was the single finest thing I have ever put in my mouth. Ever. Really. Not just worth the cost per bite, worth the cost of your airfare and hotel. Really.
MarshaNYC at 12:23AM on 11/27/07
Seafood gumbo, all the way.
zamboni at 1:18AM on 11/27/07
gumbo
salty at 1:24AM on 11/27/07
Beignets at Cafe du Monde.
thebasilqueen at 1:47AM on 11/27/07
Gotta go with the basics- red beans & rice or a po-boy (either roast beef or shrimp)
drewa at 6:04AM on 11/27/07
hmmmm... it has to be blackened fish in cajan spices. They make it to perfection in New Orleans.
kmbrly at 6:39AM on 11/27/07
oyster po boy
maialisa at 6:50AM on 11/27/07
I haven't had a chance to revisit New Orleans for a decade now, after having fallen in love with their food. So I've taken to cooking it myself. Being in the Midwest, I have to have my andouille, shrimp, and crawfish shipped to me to get the real authentic flavors.
My favorite dish is fried catfish smothered with crawfish etouffee. It captures so many cajun flavors all in one. I accompany it with baked rice to soak up the juices.
gperls at 7:05AM on 11/27/07
oyster po boys all the way
dikaryon at 7:25AM on 11/27/07
etoufee.
french tart at 8:05AM on 11/27/07
Red beans and rice.
ConschBTJ at 8:38AM on 11/27/07
I'd love a beignet and a cafe au lait right now . YUM ! We'll talk about some fried catfish and sweet potato fries later .
NewEnglandBites at 8:44AM on 11/27/07
jambalaya is by far my favorite - I usually make a recipe by Emeril
tsegada at 8:48AM on 11/27/07
The fried oyster po'boy was good, but you just can't beat a good bowl of red beans and rice on a cold day.
sidebernie at 8:59AM on 11/27/07
shrimp gumbo and spoon bread!
eatnutmeg at 9:17AM on 11/27/07

hedgehog at 10:03AM on 11/27/07
anything with crawfish
palmsey at 10:03AM on 11/27/07
Impossible to pick......gotta go with oyster po'boy.
spanklin at 10:07AM on 11/27/07
it's a tough call, but i have to say crawfish mainly because they're the most fun to eat~
crafty at 10:10AM on 11/27/07
Fried shrimp po' boy and the fried bell pepper rings at Frankie and Johnny's.
dksbook at 10:12AM on 11/27/07
shrimp etouffee, gotta love the shrimp and the spices, oh, so good.
jenjw4 at 10:16AM on 11/27/07
crawfish boiled with boudin, corn, potatoes, and onions.
intheyearofthepig at 10:34AM on 11/27/07
My favorite is most definitely gumbo
pupilindenial at 10:58AM on 11/27/07
Turtle soup at Commander's Palace, the shot of sherry put it over the top.

To be honest I have never had New Orleans food (all the more reason to win the book so I can find a favorite), lol.
ssommerville at 1:01PM on 11/27/07

bobfole at 1:43PM on 11/27/07
In no particular order:
Beignets at Cafe du Monde
Oysters at the bar at Acme
The eggplant pirougue at K-Paul's
Ruby trout with crab imperiale at Emeril's
Duck confit hash with poached egg and port wine hollandaise at Emeril's
Fried chicken livers with cream gravy at Praline Connection (is it even still around?)
Potatoes dauphinois at Antoine's
Turtle soup with sherry followed by paneed rabbit and then the souffleed bread pudding at Commander's Palace
Baked apple at breakfast at Brennan's
My friend Keith's dad's gumbo
Zapp's dill "Gater Taters" and spicy "Cajun Crawtaters"
Mizbee at 1:50PM on 11/27/07
I've never been to THE place, but I've had gumbo and it was delish!
chlamers at 1:50PM on 11/27/07
I've always enjoyed seeing this talented chef on appearances on the Food Network.
Bria at 2:10PM on 11/27/07
Beignets, beignets, and more beignets.
charm city cupcake at 2:10PM on 11/27/07
bananas foster...yum!!
ceforrester at 2:11PM on 11/27/07
I'd have to say any po-boy. They are just damn comforting.
malenky at 2:13PM on 11/27/07
beignets...I've not been to New Orleans yet, so I don't know if shrimp and grits counts or not, but I do love me some of that, too.
Kimberly at 2:23PM on 11/27/07
I love everything about New Orleans food, so it's hard to pick a favorite, but I will go with the Crawfish Monica served at Jazz Fest.
Catherine at 2:28PM on 11/27/07
Beignets and oyster po'boy, but not all together.
k_d at 2:28PM on 11/27/07
Red beans and Rice!
Simple, and delicious!!
Oh, and maybe a side of greens too.
Silvia at 2:33PM on 11/27/07
No question, it's red beans and rice.
CheesePlease at 2:42PM on 11/27/07
oyster pan loaf from Mosca's
awtane at 2:43PM on 11/27/07
My favorites would have to be:
BBQ Shrimp with lots of fresh, hot french bread
The Snowballs (think snowcone, but so much better!) from Plum St. Snowballs on a hot spring day
Shrimp Po-boys from Crabby Jacks
Beignets and Cafe Au Lait from Cafe du Monde
Alligator Pie and Crawfish Monica at Jazz Fest
After 4 years at Tulane, it's hard to pick just one!
ohnofullmoon at 2:46PM on 11/27/07
Aw dang, how does one choose? I love any variety of po'boy, but it's gotta be gumbo that wins in the end. Mmm....spicy....
EmmaC at 2:56PM on 11/27/07
Jambalaya for sure
Rae at 2:59PM on 11/27/07
Jamabalaya duh.......
sln123 at 3:22PM on 11/27/07
Oysters shucked right in front of you with an ice cold Dixie.
gratefulted at 3:23PM on 11/27/07
Oysters! Either fresh-shucked with a cold one, or in a po'boy.
HeyCarl at 3:52PM on 11/27/07
FRESH HOT BEIGNETS!!!!
Crabpatti at 3:56PM on 11/27/07
Red beans and rice! or etouffe or maybe gumbo....but then again.....

Stevuchan at 4:03PM on 11/27/07
I love a good gumbo, but it doesn't get much better than beignets and a cup of coffee.
dna90048 at 4:12PM on 11/27/07
Jambalaya with plenty of shrimp, chicken and andouille. Although a nice sloppy big beef po'boy would not go amiss.
Stushi at 4:14PM on 11/27/07
Oh, that's gotta be a Sazerac :)
If it has to be food, then it's gumbo.
anitaepler at 4:16PM on 11/27/07
Having lived in New Orleans for several years, I'd have to say that my single favorite dish was the fried oyster appetizer from Ugelsich's (with blue cheese stuffed between the fresh-shucked oysters and the batter).
nolafunk at 4:19PM on 11/27/07
Red beans and rice
sjwoodin at 4:20PM on 11/27/07
Red beans and rice. Grits.
Christina at 4:23PM on 11/27/07
gumbo. the spicer the better
zekks at 4:29PM on 11/27/07
Crawfish pies at Remoulade are delicious. I never visit there without ordering some.
phattymatt at 4:35PM on 11/27/07
...anything with rice and heavy spices!
pjlein at 4:36PM on 11/27/07
A nice big bowl of gumbo... mmm...
threedogkitchen at 4:43PM on 11/27/07
Bayona is that rare restaurant that's just as delicious as it is fancy. It's hard to forget Susan Spicer's duck sandwich with pepper jelly, her garlic soup, her goat-cheese toasts...And when I first saw her emerge from the kitchen at Bayona, with a bandanna around her head, I knew she was hardcore. Buy this book!
edina at 4:54PM on 11/27/07
Oh, I could eat beignets all day long - yum!
blgrimes at 4:58PM on 11/27/07
well said edina. Bayona is consistently in my top 5 for my home town. Not to mention, it is nice to know that she is actually in the kitchen most nights - eventhough she is involved in other ventures around town.
I do love me an oyster po-boy, but Chef Spicer's duck sandwich does not suck.

jambalaya is the best, hands down!
psychsarah at 5:56PM on 11/27/07
Who can pick just one?
If I can only have one give me crawfish etouffee.
Oenonome at 5:56PM on 11/27/07
I ate like crazy in New Orleans, and loved it all, but what I loved the most was the bread pudding.
karen r at 5:58PM on 11/27/07
The food of New Orleans, I hesitate to call it cuisine, is endless entertaining to me, as well as endlessly tasty. It taught me so much about spiciness and complex flavors in rustic food. I am looking forward to my first batch of Cheesy Spoon Bread, as I am looking forward to becoming acquainted with Susan Spicer. My choice is crawfish A-2-Fay!

Crawfish Monica from Jazzfest and the Bread Souffle from Commander's Palace. Guaranteed to make you stand on your tippy toes and shout Hallelujah. I have heard Spicer do some cooking demos at Jazzfest many moons ago. Fine woman, fine chef.

I can't choose just one - red beans and rice with sausage, beignets (from Cafe du Monde only), cafe au lait made with Chicory coffee, barbeque shrimp.....
CookingandBooking at 4:20PM on 11/28/07
I do love a good gumbo. But an oyster poorboy sounds so good to me right now ! I 'm seriously thinking about where I could get one in WV.

jpark107 at 2:16AM on 11/30/07
My fave has to be jambalaya, but a good bowl of red beans & rice comes in a close second.
