I aksed my husband what food makes thanksgivng for him since it is my family's year. His answer duck (why couldn't it have been green bean casserole?).

Win the Serious Eats Book Before You Can Buy It!

It has to be the Cochon De Lait poboy from Walker's BBQ at Jazz Fest. The Cochon De Lait is an old Louisiana tradition that I have been enjoying since I was a child but there is no better way to enoy a roasted pig than on a sandwich as Jazz Fest. I wait all yearlong to get the succulent roasted pork with the cooling creole mustard cole slaw and I always add a dash of Crystal hot sauce. I only live an hour away from New Orleans but I wait until Jazz Fest to get the poboy because it makes it special to only get it once a year. Now that I am talking about it, I may break down and drive to their restuarant soon.

This post swelled me with pride for my state. Here in Louisiana we definitely live to eat! I agree with your choices for 36 hours but would also recommend you check out Sucre for gelato and other delicious sweets, a muffuletta from Central Grocery and a seafood platter at Drago's. My favorite spot is definitely Restaurant August.

This appetizer is a real crowd pleaser. The bite sized, seafood deliciousness is sure to satisfy. The recipe makes a lot so you can throw them in the freezer for impromptu guests and to bring to other parties.
