Did the food in New Orleans meet your expectations? What was your favorite dish?

It did, I had so much gumbo so I would say it was one of my favourites. I learned tho that not everyone makes it exactly the same so each dish will differ from brothy to stewy etc.
I also liked the shrimp and grits. I’m so annoyed I didn’t get to try any Jambalaya.
I also had frogs legs, a lot of oysters and alligator both fried and grilled.
The one dish that surprised me how much I like it was the fried okra. I will definitely be making that in the near future.
My least favourite was the crawfish etouffe and that’s only because it had a lot of bell peppers on the front end of my taste buds, I found it a pinch overwhelming because bell peppers are not my favourite in certain dishes. But I think that’s the individual cook not the dish.
damn u was all over the place. I'm guessing u had a car.. anyway, yeah America is lit af to visit especially that first time. Gon head and hit us with the #1 best restaurant, best attraction, best nightlife spot, and best experience you had tbh.
NOLA is the best of all those places. The vibes are immaculate. Vegas dead af rn but hopefully it was still chill. I enjoy Dallas personally but in Texas I'd prob pick Houston or Austin to visit for a first timer. Another hidden gem is just driving that southern route between those places is very scenic and beautiful with lots of interesting "rest stops" along the way

Where are you from
I did notFamilyWhats in Dallas worth visiting
London
Yeah we road tripped and then flew to Vegas. Vegas was still busy even though it’s supposed to be dead. The streets were packed and my hotel was packed.
Best restaurant I went to was a restaurant called the Magnolia Pit in Shreveport. I enjoyed the bbq there.
I enjoyed the drive to Dallas and the drive to New Orleans. I was also fascinated by the different licence plates by state and I’m now obsessed with water towers (I’m not sure why)
This wasn’t one of those trips where I did any nightlife stuff, I was so tired from all the day time activities I would fall asleep before we could go out at night. Also the Jet lag was serious. But the night life in New Orleans was lit! I did the casinos at night in Vegas and explored the strip.
