“How have we missed this place?” we wondered as we bit into the sinfully delicious praline beignet from Loretta’s Pralines in the French Market in New Orleans.
We were on a culinary bike tour with Jeff Shyman, owner of Street Tour Named Desire/Confederacy of Cruisers. Jeff took us to several savory stops including a Cajun seafood market where we feasted on shrimp, corn and gumbo and the Saint Roch Market, a new food hall to taste tuna dip, ceviche and crab mac and cheese from The Salted Pearl.
Jeff’s entertaining commentary and historical information added more flavor to the tour.
