French Quarter Festival 2007

[TAPrice]

Jazz Fest gets all the attention, and rightly so. French Quarter Festival is a smaller event that draws mainly locals--but it's free, the music is great and it's got some good eating as well. Just look at this list:

French Quarter Festival Menu

The FQF vendors are primarily area restaurants. On the whole, the quality and variety doesn't reach the level of Jazz Fest. But it's a good warm-up for the big festival.

Personally, I always like the beef brisket sandwich with horseradish sauce from Tujague's. Also, the desserts from Flour Power are killer.

Any other recommendations?

I had the chicken livers with hot pepper jelly from the Praline Connection last year. Very good and a large portion which is sometimes lacking at the FQF. I see Antoine's is offering oysters bonne femme and crawfish bisque. I don't recall their participating in years past, but if the bisque has stuffed heads I'm getting me some. I also don't remember Jacques-Imo's being there, but a duck po-poboy will definitley be on the list. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the reminder TA.
