I am not even a fan. Every time we went I would get an order, because you HAVE TO HAVE at least ONE knowing I would give the rest away.
That is one of the cool things about NOLA. They WANT you to GIVE your un-eaten delicacies to folks who are having a difficult time and need the food. Once I understood that, I separated my order before I even started eating knowing I wouldn't eat it, but someone else would love it!
I hope to get back to New Orleans some time. (I hope they bring a little more jazz and blues back to Bourbon St. and if that seems shocking to you, it was to me the last time we were there. The music has become a bit more modern. And louder. LOL I must be getting old, right?)
In the mean time, I will learn how to make beignets and gumbo!
