If you’re looking for some awesome food combinations that are truly unique, New Orleans is a great place to go exploring. We really have a way with choosing delicious foods, putting them together, and making something totally new. We think you are going to fall in love with some of these awesome combinations. Here are our favorites.
- Shrimp, Bleu Cheese, and Buffalo Sauce
Yelp.com / John L. H. Avery’s on Tulane pioneered this now-famous sandwich that married the flavors of awesome chicken wings with shrimp–it’s definitely worth it!
- Pickles & Ranch Dressing
Yelp.com / Rachelle B. Never thought of mixing ranch dressing with your favorite pickles? Think again. Just fry the pickles and you are instantly in heaven.
- Tomatoes, Battered and Fried, w/ Crabmeat
Yelp.com / Karen L. And yes, pickles aren’t the only vegetable that goes much farther when you batter it up. Fried green tomatoes with crab or remoulade sauce, and you are in for a real treat.
- Turtles and Sherry
Yelp.com / Christopher W. That’s right, if you haven’t had turtle soup yet—give it a try–Mandina’s on Canal St. has some of the best. And that’s right, it’s best with a topping of sherry.
- French Fries on French Bread
Yelp.com / Allison P. If you haven’t yet had french fries on french bread–you are missing out. These french fry po-boys are the perfect pick for your veggie friends who want to get in on the po-boy action. Unless you grab this version from 801 Royal that includes roast beef…yum.
- Chicken Livers & Grits
Yelp.com / Lisa J. If you’ve never had chicken livers with grits…and pepper jelly on top…try it out at Elizabeth’s in the bywater one morning. It’s an acquired taste…but truly delicious.
- Oysters & Caviar
Yelp.com / Amanda P. Yes here is one more thing that when combined with caviar, is made all the better. Here’s Bourbon House’s take.
- Alligator, Shrimp, & Cheesecake
Yelp.com / Keisha S. Jacque-Imo’s has pioneered this dish that will make you rethink everything you thought about cheesecake–first of all, that it can be savory!
- Tater Tots & Nachos
Yelp.com / Susan W. Ready for a new take on an old favorite? Head over to 13 on Frenchmen Street and you’ll be introduced to a combination like no other. It’s amazing!!
