The first type of American: people who joyride the day's updrafts like marvelous, glossy crows. They easily recall the locations of treats encountered over their lifetime. They answer this question Glock-shot fast, as if they have been waiting to be asked it. They are happy.
The Viking Mississippi calls at three of the state's ports as it covers 600 miles of the Lower Mississippi on its Mississippi Delta Explorer itinerary. The trio of destinations—Natchez, Vicksburg, and Greenville—might not have the global renown of other ports of call on the eight-day journey like New Orleans, Louisiana, or Memphis, Tennessee, but they each have a story to tell in the history of the state and its role in building the United States.
The barbecue shrimp arrive swimming in Cajun-spiced butter, with slivered shallots for gentle sweetness and sliced radishes for necessary sharpness. It calls to mind a seafood boil, without as much work.

[To make] Cajun-style deviled eggs, which actually sounds like a great idea, I would mix Creole mustard, Cajun spice, and crispy andouille into the egg yolk mix and garnish a piece of crispy andouille on top with charred corn kernels or crispy fried onions as well.
"THE BEST pierogi me and my fiancé have tried ever in NY. Me and him are both Ukrainian and have lived in Poland, and out of all the places we have tried, these taste exactly like homemade traditional Polish pierogis."
Dooky Chase's Restaurant has been a culinary landmark in New Orleans, known for its signature dishes like fried chicken and gumbo, attracting celebrities and political figures alike.
The territory was named La Louisiane in 1682 by French explorer René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle, in honor of King Louis XIV, who claimed for France the vast Mississippi River basin. When French settlers later founded New Orleans in 1718, the region quickly became a center of French culture in North America.
The idea of an Indian meat and three seemed like a perfect mash-up. The LUFU guys really put on a show. They had their tandoor in the parking lot and were making fresh naan for every plate.
It's a standard trope in portrayals of assimilated Jews to open with a scene built around a Christmas tree. That's how Tom Stoppard's " Leopoldstadt" and Alfred Uhry's " Last Night of Ballyhoo" begin, and also Ian Buruma's memoir about his grandparents, " Their Promised Land." The idea is, as soon as you show that, you've got the audience's full attention, especially if it's a Jewish audience, because it's so peculiar.
I'm chowing down on a mini King Cake, my breakfast. It's a braided cinnamon Danish sprinkled with purple, green, and gold edible glitter, with a cream cheese filling and a little plastic baby perched astride. The baby represents the infant Jesus and is said to bring luck (and an obligation to host the next fête, if he shows up in your slice.)
At first glance, Buck & Johnny's, a restaurant just outside Lafayette, Louisiana, looks unremarkable: a warehouse-like space with exposed brick, a large dance floor, and walls decorated with football helmets and old oil company signs. Then, a five-piece band strikes up in the corner. Louisiana zydeco rolls across the room, driven by accordion and the full-body washboard frottoir (a percussion instrument). Couples of all ages gravitate to the dance floor, stepping, spinning, and swaying with varying degrees of confidence.
Referring to Franklin as "music royalty," Lagasse welcomed the singer to his show for a birthday dinner of fried oysters with horseradish cream, tomato and sweet corn relish, grilled veal chops with herbed cheese, wild mushrooms in Bordelaise sauce, and prosciutto-wrapped asparagus. Needless to say, Franklin was quite impressed with the beautiful meal, even asking Lagasse between bites, "Did I hear you were single?"
