| From elegant French Style cuisine at Susan Spicer's Bayona to the peasant food of the gumbo parlors, New Orleans tells its story by cooking. Local ingredients prepared in the down home way reveal a cultural mix unlike any other. Spanish, French, Canadian, Island and African; they all come together in New Orleans to elevate peasant food to cuisine. |

| New Orleans signature foods include the Beignet (left), a fried dough covered with powered sugar served at the Cafe du Monde Open twenty four hours the Cafe du Monde is famous for beignets, coffee with chicory, and Cafe au lait , a coffee served with steamed milk. |
| Food, Jazz, and freedom: all come to mind when you visit New Orleans. Self expression is everywhere in New Orleans but particularly evident during the annual Mardi Gras. The feeling of a relaxed party in a town happy with itself lasts throughout the year, however, and shines through in the cooking, the social life ,and particularly the music. The people of New Orleans are so relaxed and so easy going and friendly that a visitor might wonder if they are acting a part. Soon you realize, however, that this is "New Orleans Style", and everybody here is on "New Orleans Time." New Orleans is in the middle of one big party and you are invited |
