The Ultimate Local’s Guide to New Orleans || Gatekeepers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- On this episode of Gatekeepers, Justin is heading to one of his favorite cities, New Orleans, in search of some new experiences he hasn’t had before. New Orleans native and celebrity private chef, Ashley Jonique aka @Letdatgirlcook, is the perfect person for the challenge as she has both the connections and the confidence to ensure Justin get’s the authentic local experience. As Ashley often tells Justin “I got you.”
In every city there’s someone who’s connected, who knows where to go on a slow Monday night and can get a table anywhere they want on a Friday - in every city there’s a Gatekeeper. In this Thrillist travel show, we’re sending our host across the country to meet up with these Gatekeepers and experience first hand everything you should make sure to do/eat/drink, one city at a time.

Please don't support companies that feed the wildlife.
You need to replace the host, Justin, pretentious and insincere. The annoying person who thinks they know everything.
I know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my login password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Abram Kaysen instablaster :)
@Gus Jaxtyn I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
32 year old here, born and raised in New Orleans. She has by far the most New Orleanian accent I ever heard. Her accent is half black New Orleans and half white New Orleans with a dash of Cajun. It's beautiful and cannot be faked.👌🏾
She was a very sweet lady and I enjoyed watching her smile.
I live in Baton Rouge but I visit New Orleans at least once a year. I love it.
I'm from Baton Rouge and she was the perfect Gatekeeper.👍🤘
windmagelita only once a year and you live right there?
Why you gotta say it's half black and half white accent? It's just the accent and there is no race involved!
*_"He's been here so many times. So he says."_* Hahaha. Ashley threw a lot of shade at Justin all episode. You can tell he goes to New Orleans and eats only po' boys, muffulettas and beignets. 😂 All delicious of course. This is a great series so far. 2 for 2 on the guests.
Tosh T I loved that 😂
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I got some 🔥🔥 gumbo spots too lol hit me up I’ll give you my list 😜
Too funny! But absolutely true. She was the Star!!!
To be fair, I think he was referring to the french market. It was by far the most generic of the choices.
I’m going in a month...if you would be so kind, what are your recommendations? Thanks!!
Yoooo when she went to Neyow’s I knew she was doing something !! Yes sis!! Rep us. That’s definitely a New Orleans native restaurant
lmao. yep. had to put them on. make sure you watch season two. Im the host!!
Ashley Jonique neyows official I like the cornbread dressing and the bow wow and the rest of the menu 😂😂😂
wish i saw this before I went to New Orleans last weekend for my bachelorette party! its crazy because i lived in Louisiana for 5 years but never heard of some of these places. I guess its because I lived in BR not New Orleans.
Pleaseeee tell me where else are the BEST local prices. I dont want to be a tourist taster. I was some real down south creole cooking!
I’m a New Orleans native and I never been to Neyow’s...but I can tell you another good New Orleans native restaurant....Mandina’s...
I feel like she should just take over and be a tour guide or make her own series.
Lovely Yaz ya digg💁🏽♀️
Ashley Jonique I def dig sis. I feel like the host aka mr.stache but like something about his deliverance is typical,basic and safe- I guess? He just seems uncomfortable lmao, even with the most confident tour guide.
However, whoever set him up and planned this episode- kudos. I enjoyed the non-gimmicky corny interactions.
Girl get a show!
Lol I get you!! I planned the day to make sure the had an authentic experience. I need to get on insta chef too man
@@ashleyjonique8782 get on the gram and promote yourself as an official curated tour guide to the person's preference. You made this episode without a doubt!!
Ppl are already emailing tondo it. I will as soon as I find time. Im a mom and biz owner. If God leads me to that Ill def follow his orders. Thanks so much
I want her as my tour guide when I go back to New Orleans!
Yes, indeed! I'm glad her contact info is in the description.
Me too!
Wow she's amazing!! She kept the vibe so chill and authentic, plus she chose dope spots to showcase!! Justin really just could not keep up with her genuine shine... We stan private chef Ashley Jonique
S George thank you sis!! It was fun to just be me. Easiest job ever
Shaliah Arielle you just used “dope, chill, vibe” and “shine” in 50 words or less. Strive for originality and lose the ridiculous hipster vernacular.
@@ashleyjonique8782 Watching this 3 years later and visiting New Orleans in October. I’ll visit as many of these spots as possible. Thank you for sharing!
Agree! She's SO authentic and adorable, too!
plus her body is insane
Ashley was perfect. Made me homesick with her voice. Very authentic
MrEfli thank you! I appreciate it
Ashley Jonique well done on this video!! I grew up in wego and worked the quarter for ten years. You made me remember why I loved welcoming people to our city!
Im not even from New Orleans and she made me homesick for the place
THROW THE WHOLE HOST AWAY!!! This guy has zero personality or warmth. Ashley had all the personality and kept the episode lively, entertaining and personable! I'd love to see her hosting more episodes!!
lmao. go easy on Justin. make sure you watch season Two. im hosting!
@@ashleyjonique8782 yayyyy! Back in NOLA?
Mais, didn't even try the mirlitons at brunch. That's definitely a local item more than that burrito.
Nadiè C they found her in Nola Nola
Get rid of the host and his mustache
I kind of love her accent.
shes the bomb!
Welcome to New Orleans
Ya and she seems super cool
Her accent is annoying i have heard it too many times lol sorry might sound rude
@@yungman1005 yeah you sound like a fuckin asshole lol sorry might sound rude
New Orleans: People are beautiful and the land is truly magical.
Definition of magic
I just want to say THANK YOU. For showing the local spots of New Orleans to him. Not the tourist spots like everybody else does. Studio Be, Neyows, French Market restaurant, Jazz Market. Dope Ashley. ❤️. I almost teared up no lie. 💪🏽🤣❤️
NaturallydopeX2 I feel like ppl always go to the quarters and to natives thats not where its poppin.. so I ejected some real Nola flavor into this project. For the culture ✊🏾
@@ashleyjonique8782 My husband and I are coming next month for our anniversary. It will be my first visit but very special my entire maternal side is from there... I'll be tracing some roots lol... Thanks for the info and feel free to add more. I've never been yet call it home!!
Ashley Jonique I’m coming down there July 13 what are some of the other spots that young blacks can go locally that are fun and not touristy?
Can we get more local recommendations please
THIS is the video to watch if you’re looking for the best locally loved spots! Ashley really took care of y’all. Usually I’d watch vids on New Orleans and be disappointed on how touristy they are BUT THIS vid! This was awesome and yes everyone knows “LetDatGirlCook”
BukuTriece thank you. These places are important to my culture. There are so many overlooked spots and these were my faves on my list.
Absofuckinglutely!!! This video was awesome!!
i couldn't agree more. NOLA is in my top-10 bucket list and by far this right here is the video i have liked the most about the city. absolutely authentic, real, tasty, luring and inviting. and take from someone who doesn't need much bait to pull me over there! lol NOLA has been in my target for long years. life has kpet me from it. but i won't give up till i make it there. and these guys with this video just gave me another pack of zillion reasons.
Ashley is a jem! Want her to show me the city next time great insight. If i lived in New Orleans I would be a 800lb drunk
MBest12 lmaoo. Thank you!! Its hard to not eat here. We have good food EVERYWHERE 😅⚜️
Yes SS!!!!!!!!
Ashley needs her own show! Showing us all the awesome places of New Orleans, I would watch the shit out of that!
Ashley stole the show. She effin’ rocked.
This guy seems so pretentious like oh I've been here SoOOOoOOOO many times like man she's born and raised why don't you just listen and learn
goldfish&snake Hahaaa. Justin was actually really cool!; but I son’d his ass this episode 🤟🏾🤘🏾
Agree, he's annoying as hell. She's cool
Ashley Jonique I’m heading to New Orleans for my 30th next weekend with a group of friends, loved this video and all the inspirations you gave ❤️ thanks girl!!!
Yeah, he's a complete TOOL!!!
@@ashleyjonique8782 where are you hood spots in NOLA. I dont like commercial food
Her accent is fire 🔥
Joel Kelly thank yah baaaaby⚜️
GET OFF OF BOURBON! Go to the Garden District, walk down Magazine St, listen to live music on Frenchmen St and just explore!
Audubon Park and City Park are beautiful.
Bourbon is pretty awful.... BUT.... it has Fritzels European Jazz which is one of my absolute fav places. It's really out of place, in a good way.
Or go to the west bank - some interesting spots there!
What parts should you avoid?going out there ina couple months I don’t want to be that dumb tourist
The only downside going to New Orleans is knowing your never getting food that good back home.The Cajun red snapper was INCREDIBLE...nobody talks about the red snapper🤣
I live in New York now but was born and raised in the New Orleans area (Versailles and then the Westbank), and I'm still surprised people are shocked by her accent or had some issues understanding her. I couldn't hear a more natural sounding voice. Made me homesick.
SHT L I just learned that I talk fast hahaha. Between my accent and speaking speed .. that may be where they had trouble. Guess they can watch it more than once to understand and I can get another view haha
LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN SHE TOOK YOU TO STUDIO BE
That place saved me when I first moved to nola for school
I was there monthly
No WEEKLY
AND NEYOWS YOOO SHE HOOKED HIM UP
AND THE JAZZ MARKET IM HOLLERING
LOVED that she took him to places that might not get the NATIONAL recognition that other bigger name places get. Neyow's is a true gem. Great episdoe!
This is probably my favorite New Orleans tour video out of all of the ones I've been watching.
Me too! Now to plan my trip there! :)
It's the most authentic.
She’s so pretty and I love her accent
"Can we order an ambulance." Love her!
Elizabeth Barton hahaa. That was a lot of food. Im only 100 lbs. and I love ya back😘
I live in New Orleans, and it does my heart Great to know we have such treasures in our unique city👍✅✅👍
@Misanthropic Cynic BORN & RAISED " UPTOWN"
She was genuine and sweet. Great host!! Some people try and play it up when on camera but I loved her authenticity. More of this please!!
J P man thank you!! all that fake stuff takes too much energy. I mastered being me..and aint letting all that go to waste 😂🙏🏽.
He never would've gotten this experience on his own.
What a beautiful graceful guide who just radiates positivity
I'm just seeing this video. I'm born/raised in NOLA and everything about this video made me smile. Thank you for this and for showing off my hometown.
Justin is okay but I really wish he stopped acting like he knows the area when he clearly only stops by and hangs at the hot tourists spots. The purpose of the show is to get a more local experience and I find his banter sometimes to be annoying. So far I am enjoying the guides, they are making it.
sundawg911 hit me up I have a stash of spots, here to help 🌎
shut up snowflake
pink Fungi why you so angry?
Define snowflake
Ashley and all the guests were amazing
This was BY FAR!!!!!!! THEEEEEEEE best episode. Wow man everything looked amazing and so much fun. So much so I’m looking at flights to N.O. #blackgirlmagic
Nikiynova Why even bring up race?
Louisiana hospitality and food is something that can never be imitated the same
Wow. Had to pause the video to say how the Katrina memory installation affected me. I got teary eyed. “You’re still here.” ❤️❤️❤️ We just got back from a holiday visit to New Orleans. I wished I had watched this first!
I love how he said that New Orleans will be "new Atlantis". Everytime I see a google map of our coastline I get so sad.
I also really liked that
Omg they went to Westwego 🤣😫 someone give her a prize she really showed these ppl! 🥳
The person that invented twerking goes to my church!
lol
Her accent is a vibe ❤️
This makes me wanna move back home to nola but ain’t no jobs out there
Chef Ashley is so dope! I love everything about this! #Meallionaire
tamilynngsu01 thank you sis. I appreciate it
going to NOLA next week so I'm definitely excited to add some of the restaurants to my list! Ashley did such a great job and I love her accent!
How you make out?
Love my city❤️
Edit: anybody else really hate the handlebar mustache😒
Dornish Wench yes I really do. This hipster vibe just doesn’t match with the town. This isn’t about “looking cool” it’s about enjoying one of if not THE most fascinating culture in the United States. He felt pretty disingenuous and she was trying so hard to showcase spots without looking touristy while he was so dry and too much of a braggart. Nonetheless I hope this video really inspires people to visit the city, and I mean all of it not just the quarter.
I love this. It's one of the best, most accurate representations of New Orleans culture especially for people under 40. One of the most dysfunctional special places on Earth proud to call it home.
🙏🏾
make sure you follow me on ig @letdatgirlcook
NOLA Native, this was awesome! Producer telling you how to curse killed me LMAOOOO
I need Ashley as my tour guide when I visit!
Great down to earth host, makes it easier watching the whole episode when they aren't all about themselves compared to the city they are visiting.
Watching this literally made my entire year! I love food and I love New Orleans! This content is amazing!
Ugh the chef, the tour guide offered the cast food. Not the guy/ dude.
Her energy is dope !
Lovely Yaz Thank you! I said the same thing. Tyyyler I offered your ass something to eat .. NOT HIM 😂😂. Its all good tho
I guess they learned to put their people on too lmaooo
Nah. I put my ppl on because we are the wave. Thats what solid people do. Plus all of the spots are legit af.
I live in New Orleans this video makes me appreciate where I’m from more lol
I love her! Rep for New Orleans ⚜️
Suga Cane waaahhhhnnnn 🙏🏽⚜️😂
Best vlog of the city I seen so far
jesus all the people in this video are so wonderful. i can’t wait to come back!
She sounds like an amazing tour guide!!
Christopher Gailliard Thank you!! I am amazing period hahaha. Follow me on ig @letdatgirlcook
Done deal
yo I love her voice!
Right?! Ashley is the best!!!... instachef is rockin so hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I live here, and I want to be friends with Ashley! She's given me some great ideas of new places to eat. And so glad she took off on the swamp tour from the West Bank!
Check them out when you get a chance.
She was a great guide, she gave me so many ideas on places to eat and hangout.
*Now THAT's how I wanna see & eat in New'Orleans!* Yeah, Baby! 💖💖💖💖
omg i went to grade school and high school with justin. congrats justin on this awesome series. you popped up on my feed and i was like "hey i know that guy !" lol. i'll be down there this year and will definitely check out all of these places with my parents.
Love it! Man, she knows the best places and most fun!
Wow!! I never get tired of seeing my hometown!!😁👍 Her voice makes me smile! Reminds me of family!
Loved this, thank you for the insider insight! Travel on!
YES~~ J's Seafood they are awesome and plentiful!
my family is still in new orleans and i never ever get tired of hearing them talk
Im from the City and my dumb ass was like well what kind of drank they got called a "Ambulance" ?!?!?! lmao 13:30 .....remind me of when Southern Jags had a football game in Shreveport back in early 2000s and I went to this spot and ordered a "call a cab". Needless to say it took me a while to get back to my Sister's house and I shoulda just Called A Cab!!!! lol
In love her 😍😍😍 thanks for the video!
Ashley is so kind and adorable!!
We need to see more of her. She knew her stuff and she was fine as all outdoors!
@7:57 that purple room water line shit is POWERFUL. Shit hits hard!!!
His mustache makes me not take him serious, just a good meme, but really he needs to trim that
IMHO he looks like a damn fool...
Lmao
wow what a great guide to New Orleans! I loved spending a few days there and wish I would of had more time
This vid is the best! Going to NOLA next month. Going to try out most of these spots.
I watched this video and got so many ideas. I went for Essence 2019, Neyow's was PACKED so we went to the spot next door which is the ex of Neyow. The food was very good.
I put a negative comment on your Nashville video... this one was good. Proud of this lady showing off our town. Y'all did us right. Whodat
Hector Mejia 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 here to win your hearts
Hector Mejia thank yah baaaaby!!
When the food is so good you just gotta shake your shimmy. 3:56 Love her. She needs her own show here in New Orleans.
Yes baby!!! We hug in New Orleans ❤️
Dope episode. FINALLY someone actually from new orleans.
Jesse Veal III I’m from New Orleans so that makes 2 ;)
Highly enjoyed this! Thanks for the tips
This is the best representation I have seen in a LONNNG Time! Neyow's is me and my family favorite spot when we come together!
Amazing show! Thanks! She was a great host in the city!
Best episode yet, brother...pls keep it goin'...
I am a traveler, many places I have been to are 1 and done's but there is a short list of go backs. The go backs are places that draw you back for several reasons, those reasons being the food, the vibe, the people, diversity of culture, fun, beauty, feeling that there would be more gotten from another trip & etc..Been to NOLA before and always wanted to go back because it ticks all the go back boxes. The local guide reminded me why I liked New Orleans and why I have to go back. In Europe my go backs are Prague, Florence and Paris.
Indeed...You're spot on! Been to NOLA pre & post 'Trina'...twice in total I can't wait to go back...love, love this place.🤗
Eating in the French Market may be fun and delicious, but it is going to be EXPENSIVE, so be prepared to pay out the @ss.
Good to know
Visited yesterday, didn't find it too expensive at all. Worth checking out for sure!
It's not too bad
I went to New Orleans for 5 days on the last day there we finally went to the French Market the food was better than any restaurant I went to and it was cheaper
I lived a few houses down from Neyows for almost 2 years. Moved on Urselines a few months ago. You could truly go to a corner store here and get great food! Rays on the ave on Broad St is definitely worth a visit. Best food I've ever had
She so dope!!
happiness, beauty, art, soul & love - all of that seems to show in the people and the food there - gotta get there sooner than possible ;-) hope you all are well !
Here in NOLA at the moment looking for new places to try... GREAT accent Ashley.
Only met a few peopl from NO but all of em were chill like this girl. Real easy to talk to and hang out with.
This video made me miss my city so much... I’m moved bc of school😭😭
She said "can we order an ambulance?" 😂😂😂
Justin came down from heaven to grace us with his presence.
Yo!! This just became my favorite series!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My friends and I just got back from Mardi Gras 2022, and i agree, the French Market is really cool. We went to Elizabeth's for the French Toast Burrito, specifically because of this video, and OMG some of the best breakfast we have eaten in our lives! Everyone should go to Elizabeth's!!
Dude, that was an amazing video !
I live 75 miles from The Big Easy, and pretty much Eat at the Same places, and do the same things each time I'm in The City ! I actually go to the French Market area, but have never eaten in the pavilion ! The places you visited, and ate, is now on my radar ! The Girl cook was amazing, and I'm looking for a follow up video to that one !! Oysters & Softshells at the Market, Soul food, Crazy food and Gators, what an amazing adventure ! ⚜️🇺🇸🤐
This video came out right in time for my upcoming trip. I’ll be in NOLA for New Years and I’m sooo excited!
Alelie Hall Can I go with you?
Alelie Hall come and make your rounds chile. Im sure itll be a good time
I lived in Baton Rouge and went to NOLA for work all the time....I miss that place. Love to my Baton Rouge and New Orleans people!
Love this show dudes. Keep it up!
Ashley is the OG! I loved this video
Love this episode
I love New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina made me very sad. Having visited the tomb of Marie Laveau I left a token and mark knowing I would have to return and I have and will continue to do so. Such beautiful people, music and the gala known as food. A real American jewel.
GREAT INTRODUCTION TO NOLA, that girl is the bomb diggity, those black women are beautiful down there
first last black women are beautiful everywhere.
first last What does race matter?
