A Sandwich a Day: Muffuletta from Cochon Butcher in New Orleans
One of the few places that was a non-negotiable on my list of New Orleans places to visit? Cochon Butcher. Chef Donald Link's artisanal butcher shop/sandwich joint/wine bar is next to Cochon, his homage to all things Cajun, porky, and meaty. My favorite sandwich is the Cochon Muffuletta ($12), a cheffy version of the classic New Orleans sandwich first made in Central Grocery in the French Quarter.A Sandwich a Day: Po' Boy from Mandina's in New Orleans
During my trip to New Orleans I ate so well and continuously that I'm not sure I ever grew hungry in the week I spent in the big easy. Though most of my meals were chock full of oysters, shrimp, and crayfish, no meal in my mind represented the indulgent excess of the city more than Mandina's, a Creole/Italian restaurant in Mid-City that's been family owned and operated since the 1930s.Snapshots from New Orleans: Grilled Oysters from Drago's Seafood Restaurant
Grilled oysters are common outdoor food in Louisiana, where people fire up their grills or build coals in a campfire to cook oysters on the half shell. It is hard to capture in words or pictures the interplay between briny oyster liqueur, juicy oyster meat, and the pats of garlic and butter set into the opened oysters, which are then grilled over a conventional barbecue rack or placed directly into hot coals.Video: Bay Shrimping After the BP Oil Spill

While their muffuletta, layered with house-cured meats, is among the very best in New Orleans, Cochon Butcher's other sandwiches are almost as irresistible. I was particularly fond of the buckboard bacon melt ($9)—thick-cut lean bacon with smoky stewed collards, a pepper aioli, and Swiss cheese melting into every bite.Road Trip: Breakfast at Stanley in New Orleans
Stanley was the first restaurant to serve fresh-made food after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005. Chef Scott Boswell, who'd been running the highly acclaimed, upscale Stella, had been planning the unveil of its causal counterpart Stanley (and the "Stanley Burger"). But when the storm left Stella in shambles and the dining market in disarray, it became his only option—and Stella's saving grace.Road Trip: 10 Reasons Poche's Will Rock Your World
Our first round of boudin at The Best Stop hit the spot, but there's no way I was going to pass up a crawfish link at Poche's in Breaux Bridge. It's somewhat of a local institution—the current joint has been around since the 1960s, but the family business started with Antoine Poché four generations back.From the Road: Boudin at The Best Stop Supermarket in Louisiana
It finally reached that point in every Texas-to-Mississippi road trip where we had to get our boudin on. My dad and I went to one of our longtime favorites, down the road from Don's Specialty Meats in Scott, and literally called "The Best Stop." Aptly named, I assure you. Boudin is, all told, somewhat of an ambiguous term.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
