We had Southern’s chicken sandwich at French Quarter Festival and have been thinking about it ever since. 😂 So we went back for another one — and tried a ton of other things on the menu too!

New La Vie NOLA video is up. Come see what we thought! 🍗🎥

⚜️ Did you know?

New Orleans has a streetcar line that’s been running for more than 150 years. 🚋

Yep… before Ubers, before cars were everywhere, and WAY before anyone was saying “let’s just hop on the streetcar.” 😂

The St. Charles streetcar is the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world — and you can still ride it today.

Just one of the many little pieces of New Orleans history hiding in plain sight. ❤️

And honestly, those are some of our favorite things to show you.

Come explore New Orleans with a local who knows the stories behind the streets. ⚜️

🥪 Happy National Muffuletta Day! 🥪

There are a lot of foods that are uniquely New Orleans, but the muffuletta has to be one of the most iconic.

That round sesame bread. The layers of Italian meats and cheese. And that olive salad that makes a muffuletta a muffuletta. ❤️💚💛

We recently shared a video about one of New Orleans' most famous muffulettas, and today seemed like the perfect day to share it again!

Is this the perfect lunch spot in New Orleans? 👀

Alright… we tried Mr. John’s Steakhouse, and I’m just gonna say it:
Not every “legendary” restaurant is legendary for us.

We went in ready to love it, but the meal and the overall experience didn’t deliver what we expected — especially at that price point.

If you want the full breakdown (and a few raised eyebrows), the review is live now.

Have you ever heard of YAKAMEIN? 🍜👀

If you're not from New Orleans, there's a good chance the answer is NO!

Also known as “Old Sober,” Yakamein is one of those uniquely New Orleans dishes that you really have to try to understand. So we decided to go on a little Yakamein crawl and try it at THREE different spots:

🍜 Chef Linda Green — the Yakamein Lady
🍜 John & Mary Food Store
🍜 Olympia Food Store

What makes Yakamein so special? Where did it come from? And most importantly… which one did we like best? 👀

We answer all of that in our newest episode of La Vie NOLA!
