T.W.W., if you get down to N.O., the gumbo is fine at ACME Seafood (get there early to beat the line). Etouffee and their grilled oysters (at the bar) are excellent. Avoid Mother's, they're working on their reputation only. Po boys are delicious at Johnny's even if the bread is all wrong. Parasol's uptown is always reliable. Since Buster Holmes left I haven't been able to find beans and rice at that supreme heavenly level, but it must be somewhere. We ended up at Popeyes for that!
I haven't been back in to the City since the "Old Folks" passed and After Katrina... just too many ghosts for me. Anyway, when folks used to ask me where they should go to eat in New Orleans, I would tell folks to go to either go to my cousin's house on 1st St, or my auntie's over in Carlton. Of course there is always Dookie's.
But if I ever do go back, (there's a bar where I would like to go and have one last drink with a couple of ghosts) I'll keep your advice in mind.
I just returned from a 2 week vacay to New Orleans and then Destin Beach, Florida...I find southern people generally much friendlier and fun that northern people. Also the food in New Orleans is probably the best food in the USA.
Us Texans are mostly Crazy in love with this state. It's actually very diversified and has some of the most talented, skilled, beautiful people in all of the US.
We've also given the world some of the most talented Musicians ever as in Don Henley, Willie & Waylon, Stevie Ray, ZZ Top, Buddy Holley and the list could go on forever.

Tejas means friendly.
What, no shout out for Jimmy Gonzalez, Elida Reyna y Avante

The food of the SouthWest is awesome. You guys just made me think of scrambled eggs and green chiles, chiles rellenos, pork and green chili burritos, sopapillas with honey. Yum!
Someone is already offended which brings to mind another good thing about the south, we usually don't give a damn about offending people.
That's a part of that good old-time religion down there. Trouble is, it doesn't seem to match up with the Testament teachings of Jesus.
