We tried. We really did! We had good attitudes we stayed positive throughout. And we did not bail though we thought about it several times. Main points: 1)there was over an hour between the first nibble of food and the second. 2) drinks were scarce and not offered unless we paid and or asked for water and then had to get it ourselves. 3)we seemed like unwelcomed guests at all but one stop. We were literally yelled at to NOT sit at a table we were brought to. And instead had to circle up chairs without a table to awkwardly eat gumbo on our knees. 4)the food was mediocre at best. 5)and finally this was not an inexpensive food tour.

I had eaten at almost everyone of the restaurants but learned things about the specials that I would never know.…

Review of: New Orleans Culinary Experience
Great experience! Info here is for what you should know but nothing was bad. The school doesn’t put together this so you are in with people who are just taking the class. Most tables are tables of 6 or 8. They let you in the room based on when you booked so book early. Try to sit facing the front. If you sit in between the tables you’re going to get the crap knocked out of you during the whole class. Food was amazing and a lot of food, Pictures of beer service throughout. Chef Gumbo Marie was amazing. Then you get an hour break before you need to meet at one of the restaurants for the rest of the tour.…
