Cafe Du Monde

Mmmm….I went to NOLA for beignets. Boudin balls too, etouffee, a heavy brunch, but mainly beignets. I went to eat.

So I made sure we got these beignets (ben-yays) from Cafe Du Monde.

Initially, the line was half a mile down the sidewalk and my appetite changed, but 30 minutes later when we came back around - no line. At least it seemed that way.

We walked in clueless. A polite gentleman noticed this and told us “just go inside and grab a table…go inside”. That’s when a second look told us the Pretty Patty line was for to-go orders.

Pair it with a coffee or hot cocoa if you have enough cash. I was missing my hot cocoa.

They were nice and big and fluffy and messy!

Sunday we had brunch at Luke (part of a hotel, I forget the name). Yours truly got the french toast, which goes by another name on the menu. Everyone else had shrimp & grits.

I’ll be back for Mardi Gras next year with a big group.
