Stop At: New Orleans School of Cooking, 524 St Louis St, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA

Start your food and cocktail tour with a 2-hour cooking demo at the New Orleans School of Cooking. A professional chef prepares classic specialties such as jambalaya, gumbo and pralines while you watch and learn. The class is served with a side of local history that goes into the spices that are essential to Cajun and Creole flavors. The modern-day cuisine of New Orleans opens a window onto the city’s rich cultural history, with its roots in the traditions of French, Spanish, Native American and African cooking.

When the class demonstration finishes, snack on generous samples of the dishes, accompanied by complimentary coffee, iced tea and beer. Be sure to take the provided recipe booklet to try making the dishes at home!

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: French Quarter, New Orleans, LA

After your introduction to Cajun and Creole cuisine, stroll through the historic streets of the French Quarter on a cocktail tour with an expert guide. Learn about the origins of Southern Comfort, invented in New Orleans in 1874. The classic Sazerac cocktail goes back even further to 1850! Purchase any of your favorite cocktails during stops at several historic bars.

As you walk through the French Quarter, look inside the city’s oldest restaurant to see its wine cellar and private dining rooms, where some of the most important deals in New Orleans were hatched. Examine the Spanish and French-inspired colonial architecture as your guide shares fascinating stories about the world-famous neighborhood, including the bars and cocktails created here.

After a fun and fascinating 4-hour cooking class and cocktail tour, return to your starting point in the early evening to end your tour.

Please note: Participants do not cook during the culinary demo.

Chef Brandon was entertaining, informative, and a great cook. We enjoyed his historical perspective on ingredients and recipes and his permission to make our own versions. Joe was a very knowledgeable guide of restaurants and bars and provided much little known information on places we visited. More fun than we expected. Anton’s was interesting to visit, but expensive. I would avoid as an Act our place to eat/drink.

Sandi was our guide and literally made our trip! She took us to the coolest bars we’ve ever been and would never have known. She was hilarious and funny and we loved her. We’ll be back and we’ll ask for Sandi for sure!
