Louisiana Road Food Festival

[Holly Moore]

There is a combination Louisiana Road Food Festival and Oyster Jubilee going on in New Orleans the weekend of April 4th and 5th.

Events include construction of the worlds longest oyster poor boy by local restaurants and a regional LA food festival that brings in restaurants from around Louisiana.

Proceeds from the food festival benefit Cafe Reconcile which gives kids who wouldn't normally have the opportunity or inclination a chance to learn the restaurant business.

I'll be there and blogging it. Perhaps I can get my department at Tulane to host a blog about it or something of that nature....we're really into Lousiana food heritage. Hem....

Thanks for the heads up, I've never heard of this festival, hopefully the paper will do something on it. ch

Me, too, but only after the fact; my posts lean toward lots of photos, so usually I'm blogging on a time lag. The extra few days I stay after the festival will only put me further behind, but I'm really looking forward to wandering about and seeing how the city has pulled itself together since my last visit, for the first JazzFest after Katrina.
