On our way back from
Destin, we had to stop in New Orleans. My husband and I were engaged at Brennan's Restaurant 25 years ago in August, and both of my children were born in New Orleans, so it holds a special place in my heart.
We were only there for 24 hours this time, but here's a sampling of our day:

Lunch:
Mother's and the "Ferdi Special" Po-boy.
We also sampled crawfish etouffee', jambalaya, and bread pudding. O.M.G.
