New Orleans Food Tour with Doctor Gumbo

New Orleans has so much to offer visitors; it’s hard to know where to begin. So, allow me to help. The food. Start with the food. Go on a New Orleans food tour with Doctor Gumbo. 

Readers may remember I took their cocktail history tour earlier in the year; it was led by Ben, a larger than life guide who entertained and informed our little group for an evening. 

Ben also leads afternoon food tours for Doctor Gumbo, so I was excited to see he’d be guiding me through the French Quarter once again.

The three-hour food tour began at 1 pm at the SoBou Restaurant (310 Chartres St) in the W Hotel. SoBou takes its name from the neighborhood “south of Bourbon” street. 

Once the dozen or so people in our group had arrived and taken their seats, Ben introduced himself and the food began arriving in earnest.
