We really enjoyed learning how to cook and tasting a few of the main dishes in New Orleans. The Crab Bisque was absolutely delicious and my favorite dish. Afterwards we had our cocktail walking tour with our tour guide Romi, he was very knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and also very funny. I would definitely recommend this tour for food, cocktails, and history lovers.
