New Orleans (Take I)

I LOVE THIS CITY! If you have never been to New Orleans... It's a place you need to visit! Yes...it's a "small" city in great America but worth the visit...

Why? Besides the fun little alleys...constant street entertainment and atmosphere...jazz music pouring out of bars...palm readers and fortune tellers...hotels and attractions...it all comes down to aspiring chefs and FANTASTIC FOOD! 

We started the day off touring the Bayou... Spotting & holding alligators! After enjoying a classic tour...we made our way to the first dining destination:

Famous Chef: John Besh's 

The American Sector 

The restaurant is part of the city's amazing WWII museum (another must see!) At the American Sector, one can enjoy burgers (go figure!) shakes, salads, sandwiches, etc...(the typical "American" favourites, but all cooked with CLASS) 

Here is what we enjoyed: 

Spicy pickles to share! Of course I was thrilled they came in a Mason Jar! 

The Ruben sandwich ...

The burger ( half ) ... We tried to be smart and only order HALF portions! 

Lastly...the fried shrimp po boy! (A New Orleans classic) 

Yummy!

Ps: happy summer! ( today Sweden celebrates midsummer!)
