Nowhere else in America is as all-in indulgent when it comes to eating and drinking. From killer po-boys in the back of a bar to shrimp remoulade in a jacket-and-tie institution that’s been doing it the same way for over a century, café au lait and beignets to Sazeracs and oysters, New Orleans is where you go to say yes to everything good.
