Jet-setting couple!
I am so happy y’all went in the back alley of café du monde. It’s wild to watch them throwing the beignets in that giant fryer. Over 4 generations of my family has eaten there ❤️

Café Du Monde post covid doesn't appear quite as popular as it once was. That was back when lines would back up almost a full block from the entrance. One trick we learned back then was locating the other French Quarter Café Du Monde just inside the Riverwalk Mall. Same great beignets & cafe au lait, etc, but minus the massive crowds.
So many great places in one video!

Thanks Bill! We've been coming here for years and we still love it!
Love the embroidered robes and pillows at a time when most hotels are afraid to put their name on anything, let alone embroider it! One misplaced sneeze with those beignets and you're reenacting scenes from _Cocaine Bear!_ The eggs Benedict looked delicious and a great wine reduction can add so much good richness to any dish! Love the Bucee's Court Jester shirt too!🤣

One thing I've always liked about Brennan's is they are one of the few remaining restaurants in N.O. that actually use real turtle meat in their turtle soup. So many other places have long substituted some other meat like veal. Not Brennan's. They remain authentic.

New Orleans is a fun place. Been quite some time since we’ve been there. My hubby is from Northern Louisiana and it’s such a nice change of pace from So Cal. I believe the brand of coffee a lot of people and restaurants use is the Community brand. The coffee beans are roasted with chicory.

I understand you've done previous reviews of New Orleans, but this is the first one I've seen. Nawlins is our adopted home town. It's truly one of our very favorite cities to visit, if not outright favorite. We generally stay at the Four Points Sheraton, mainly because it's literally smack dab in the heart of the French Quarter.
I just love y’all’s mini adventures! Isn’t there a third video from your recent London adventure that’s going to be posted?

Glad to see you guys made it to Brennan's - we really liked it.

10:51 I like to pause on menus and when I see something interesting, I have to check it out. The Tender Green Salad listed Leidenheimer Crisps as a component. Found that Leidenheimer is a long-established bakery in the city and presenting it in that way makes it sound much better than just saying 'croutons'. Wonder if that loaf of bread on your table came from that bakery. Luv your videos.

Love New Orleans! Never been there but want to go. Had a reservation for dinner at Brennan's the night before my cruise in 2005 but ended up cancelling due to some hurricane called Katrina. We ended up going out via Galveston. Will make it there some day as I too want to try the Bananas Foster where it was created. First tried it in Las Vegas at the buffet at Caesars back in the 1990s. The buffet was where Bobby Flay's Amalfi is located, years before Bacchanal. Didn't know Brennan's served breakfast too. Looks so good. I pronounce pralines "pray leens" but "prah leens" sounds fancier, or fancy pants to go with the video.😂 Can't wait to see part 2 and that purple drink! It's not a Bill and Lisa video of New Orleans without it.
