Come along with us for some fried alligator, gumbo, red beans and rice, jambalaya, crawfish étouffée, pastalaya and boiled crawfish. Did we miss any of the must-try foods??

I am sitting here my house in the French Quarter of New Orleans deciding what to have for dinner. I was going to make life easy and do a grilled cheese sandwich and French fries, but Alessio has inspired me to get out of my recliner and hit one of the many restaurants in my neighborhood!
Lucky!
ok....and?
We have some of the best around
~ I thought you were going to say you got out the recliner and went into the kitchen. Lol 😂
My dad is from NOLA area. His dad’s family is Italian, immigrated in very early 1900s to SE Louisiana. There are a lot of Italians in that area!
"Welcome down to LOOZIANE" with a little smirk just made my day! So much love for Jessi and Alessio 🥰
You know the gumbo is good when he goes in with the bread dip. The Italian version of a chef's kiss
10 of the 10 😂
I love it when Alessio says ten of the ten I'm going to start saying that instead of 10 out of 10. It's so cute
It truly is! 😂
Me too! It's adorable!
Right?!! 😂🩵🩵
Me too. I say 10 of the 10 now.
I know this should've been completely obvious to me but only recently realized how "10 of the 10" and other such phrases used by non-native English speakers are simply a result of them making literal translations of phrases from their mother tongue.
Oh, come on, Alessio, they’re called hush puppies because you toss one to your puppy to eat when you want them to stop barking 👍🏻😉. Great job tasting all the N.O. delicacies. They’re to die for😋
I thought you were pulling my leg but that's what it says when you Google kt😂
@@stephanieann6622 learned it from the Frugal Gourmet
Learned it from my daddy 😊
I’ll be damned, that makes sense even though I have a strict policy of not feeding my dog from my plate.
@@highjinx6519But hush puppies were made by Slaves. Before the civil war. They were given to dogs by the runaway slaves. When the slaves would be hunted down by the slave owners and slave catchers, they would bring blood hounds to help them find the slaves. So the slaves would throw the “fried cornbread to the dogs.” So yes the confederate soldiers may have used the same method. But the originality of the story came from runaway slaves.
Louisiana guy here! Subbed. Really enjoy your Instagram too. I saw your grandpa’s mosaic at LSU. I have LSU season football tickets and open invitation to come tailgate and go to a game! :)
New Orleans is truly special. I would give anything for beignets from Cafe du Monde right about now.
worth the price of airfare in my book…
I agree. Love them .
My sister was in NOLA for a few days and that’s all it took for her to become “addicted”! They are so good!
And a coffee from there too
I love his willingness to try new foods, big respect
That's the thing... Most ppl are not so willing!!❤️😊
Wow I’m am so hungry watching Alessio eat…love Cajun and Creole cooking ❤️😋😋
Turtle sauce picante... I'm telling God about it.
Should have him try a muffaletta sandwich! New Orleans Italian! 🇮🇹 ⚜️
He did try it and didn't like it at all. There is another video of it.
He cracks me up. What a beautiful smile and a joy in eating. Finally, he is amazing because he makes you laugh and smile. Very important!
so many amazing choices in Lousianna. Fried boudan balls, boudan sausage of infinite variety, muffeleta sandwich.
Its called "boudin". There is no "a".
Happy Easter and enjoy the Cajun food
Thank you 😋 buona pasqua a te
I love Alessio's honesty and enthusiasm with his food reviews. 10 of the ten!
🙏🏼
Only way to say it ... "Ten of the Ten.." 😊
What a good hearted dude, Italians RULE…helped make this country the greatest in the world
Wow the Michelin rating - thats amazing! Great watching you guys eat. Hope you are endulging in a happy easter feast!! 🐇🐣🥰
I fell in love with New Orleans when I went there years ago, before Katrina. Some of the best food I ever ate in my life.
One of my favourite Italian hands down. Would you do a collab with my other favorite Italian TH-camrs Pasta Grammer?? Also just wanted to note that in New Zealand we don't have crawfish.
Agree..I think a collaboration with @PastaGrammer would be great ❤
How is Alessio so slim?? He eats sooo much!
Mangia, Manga, Mangia!
Welcome to the big easy...if the alligator tastes fishy it is from the oil they also fry fish in, Alligator has a somewhat neutral flavor and not fishy at all when grilled or used in gumbo or stew
I do like alligator, got fresh in the Everglades.
This is hysterical! Alessio is such a natural...his reactions are priceless!
They're called hush puppies because the underground railroad would throw them at the dogs so they wouldn't be found. To make them hush up 😂
This makes me want to go visit New Orleans. The food looks delicious.
It is!!
Ah,glad you ordered the right food for the area. No dog in Hushpuppies,it's just fried cornbread .The name comes from it being given to pestering dogs and children at a fish fry so the adults could get the main meal done. "Hush Puppies!"
New Orleans has some of the best flavor combos than anywhere else.
Now I want to go there…thank you!!
I lived in New Orleans for a couple of months. They have the best food I have ever had!! And I have traveled a lot!!
I've wanted to go visit for the food so bad for years now lol. I've got to get there before WW3 is in full swing because my life would not be complete without these dishes.
Lol, the food is AWESOME! The problem is we live too close!😂
Y’all are making me want to take a 5 hour drive to New Orleans sooo bad!! We have amazing food in Alabama but nothing compares to Cajun cuisine.
There isn't much Cajun food in New Orleans. It's not a Cajun city.
Lived in New Orleans for a year then got transferred to Lafayette.
LOVED N’Awlins cooking but Cajun food is better.
Watching this on Thursday night.
Amazing Cajun in Dothan (Alabama) has real deal Cajun Gumbo and Red Beans & Rice. Plus makes Beignets- but only on Fridays.
I’ll be there tomorrow‼️
@@Bamaboompa Please don't say N'awlins.
Hush Puppies name comes from the slaves that were trying to escape would throw these on the trail for the dogs. It would in theory 'hush the puppies'. Pretty fantastic when you think about it. Glad that you enjoyed these dishes. New Orleans has their own market for the food that they craft & create. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, privileged to spend a lot of time in N'awlins, 91-93. My partner waa a surgical resident at Tulane.
Really fascinating but a mixed bag. The food was incredible: black ham at Bluebird for breakfast. Transcendent gumbo and brilliant seafood generally but did not appreciate the grasshoppers with hot sauce.
Brennan's was the best of old school; Paul Prudhomme made you sit with strangers and pay with Amex but it was worth it.
Cops started out at 14K per year in 91 $. So the police force would be utterly corrupt. Tulane, a top 20 school, paid my baby $24K for the first year of her surgical residency. There was a lot of poverty and crime. But a lot of style. Anne Rice. Senior faculty endlessly renovating mansions in the Quarter. Economic dynamics of the late Austrio-Hungarian empire with better food and music.
I remember hearing a story that hunters would fry up a batch of these and throw them to their dogs to eat and say "Hush Puppies". There are lots of different stories about the origin of hush puppies.
❤I couldn't stop smiling❤...I love it when people try American flavored food!!! Though I love spice and a lot of people don't love pepper like I do.😊
Italiy and Louisiana, brothers in eating mud bugs. I didn’t know. That’s awesome.
New Orleans ❤ I love everything about it ❤
People say chicken because the texture is a lot like chicken. It does have a bit of a fishy flavor but the fishiness is very mild and you kinda don't taste it after a minute.
The pastalyah is a new thing, most people from here don't really eat it.
I could tell he's a crawfish professional when he ate the claw on the big one. Sometimes if the tail meat is a little stuck you can pinch the very end of the tail slightly to free it.
The fork wave when you ask Alessio about the parmesan on the seafood. 🤣
You two are adorable! How do you stay so thin eating all that fun stuff???
Get some bananas Foster! And beignets!
He did, it's another video
Lots of Sicilians ended up in New Orleans but it mostly shows in the Mufeletta.
New Orleans may have the best food in the whole country in my opinion.
May have……it does
This vid, along w/ the ten of the ten, (plus me being a New Orleanian), earned you a new subscriber. Y'all put a smile on my face. Glad y'all are enjoying my city.
So cute and hilarious, love your vibes🎉❤😊
The original "hush puppies" were balls of corn meal, that runaway slaves would carry with them. Some to eat but they were also thrown out to distract dogs that may have been getting too close. And since baying hounds were the preferred tracking dogs, the balls of corn meal hushed them puppies right up :-)
Welcome to our city. Jessi and Alessio. Hope you got to listen to some great music as well.
You can trust Alessio, because he's BRUTALLY HONEST and he's from a country with a strong reputation for culinary excellence. As of 2023, the countries with the most Michelin-starred restaurants are ranked:
1. 🇫🇷 France 625
2. 🇯🇵 Japan 414
3. 🇮🇹 Italy 380
Alessio has to rate French cuisine too since he has 25% French 😂😂😂
Ron's Gumbo Stop in Metairie, fried green tomatoes in season.
Crawfish are called Yabbies in Australia
Do you eat them or just use for bait?
@@tigerwave5742 .... they are boiled and eaten or you can use the raw yabbies as bait
He seems to love our original regional foods. It's when we try to make Italian food or our convenience junk stuff he's got an issue with!
I highly recommend going the Deanies in Bucktown and trying their bbq shrimp.
Yes!!!
Wow, he peels crawfish better then me 😂😂. Happy Easter 🐣
Thank you , buona pasqua a te
I dont think Allessio would enjoy the food as much if Jessi was not his guide. I mean she really knows her soul food and finds the best of the best joints.
Lol funniest man eating food so entertaining.🎉🎉🎉
Yes!
Food looked delicious and so glad you two enjoyed but I'm still thinking one of Alessio's favorite pasta in America was that restaurant in NY where he was eating and crying it was so good 😂
You are supposed to dip hush puppies in malt vinegar. I adore them‼️‼️
Creole vs. Cajun style seasonings/foods... often a thin line and yet also, a wide one... either is truly top notch cuisine when prepared by expert cooks!
Etouffee= to smother, in French.
Try the oyster and artichoke soup. It's one of my favorites.
I don't know why, but these two are starting to get on my nerves. I think Alessio's accent is fake. Did you hear his mother speaking? She's totally American. He would have picked up a lot of her accent, even if they were living in Italy. Also, them always calling each other "amore" has become clichéd and annoying. As soon as I hear it now, I click off the video.
I moved to Louisiana 13 years ago red beans and rice is my favorite for this chicago gal.
Thank y’all for coming to the city and tasting what eat all the time love yall
I always thought alligator tasted like a mix of chicken and shrimp.
Yes!
Hush puppies are the best!
Just a reminder for people that are unaware:
Southern food is not the same as Northern food
And
Creole food is not Italian or French food.
I ate alligator in South Africa 21 years ago, and if nobody told me, I would think it was chicken. I had ostrich stew as well....very flavorful.
I had deep fried frog's legs in Montreal Canada and thought they were chicken wings, until my friend told me the difference. I could not eat it after that.
Gumbo is truly one of the greatest foods ever invented.
Yes!
You missed out on the truly spectacular restaurants we have to offer and went to the corporate ones. Makes me sad that so many small businesses are getting pushed out and bought by companies like creole cuisine.
It’s no wonder Alessio enjoys food from Louisiana with influence from two of his favorite cuisines; American (Southern) and French 😅😉
I can’t believe I’m a month late on seeing this. I live in Louisiana and it makes me so happy to see yall trying our foods :)
I could live off of red beans and rice. I love that stuff!!!
When he pulled that crawfish and you started to dismiss his process hahaha. The man knows what he is doing! Maybe is he 1/2 French! He even ate a crawfish claw!!! Professional haha
The puppies! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The hush puppies are called corn fritters here in md. And wv my mom made the best. She left no recipe behind so I don't know what made hers so much better then most, except for maybe the love she put into making them!!
Same with my grandmother who was Italian and Cajun French.
Was just at Creole House a week ago. It was great food.
I love shrimp (or oyster if you prefer) po’ boys. Must try! I absolutely love the food in Louisiana. Makes me want to visit just to eat all my favorites.
You quiet your "Puppies" by giving them some.
I can live on shrimp gumbo when I'm in NOLA.
Hush puppies are called that cause the cornbread was thrown to the puppies to hush them up.
So Louisiana is the Italy of the US.
That's cute. 😂
Due to history, Louisiana is crammed with many cultural influences. And food! Lots of food! Bring lots of napkins!😊
Yes!
You can't go wrong with food in New Orleans!
Love it. Great video. Glad he knew what to do with a crawfish still in the shell.
Love you guys! FYI everyone says not to put cheese on seafood but everyone puts cheese on their seafood 😂
Us Italian say your not suppose too but if it taste good why not.?
please please come to Austin TX and try Terry Blacks BBQ Beef Rib!! Best bite of bbq in the world ((: Austin is a lovely city as well you will love all the food there, big variety :D
Micia!! 🩵🥰
New Orleans is an amazing city. I'm sure it will look even better as time goes on, as more people renovate older houses there.
I wish I was there with you both. I love Crawfish Ettoufee as well
My husband's friend took us to an Italian restaurant in New Orleans where we had a 7 course meal to celebrate my husband's birthday one year
Tony Angelo's, by any chance?
I lived in Gaeta Italy. I knew he would love most of the food. Cannot go wrong with a bowl of red beans and rice. Such a simple and hearty meal. Would love to see an Italian version. Kidney beans, rice, onions, celery, bell peppers, and some pork meat.
I was told that gumbo and jumbalya are basically the same, but one is more like a casserole and the other is like a stew. I'm not from anywhere near there, so feel free to correct me.
Not even close.
You guys need to visit Mexico and try authentic Mexican food
,,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you… Greetings Jörg
We eat cornbread with anything that has a sauce or gravy. Red beans and rice- cornbread, gumbo-cornbread if you’re frying fish, shrimp, oysters… fry cornbread. When the pups start barking toss them a hush puppy to quiet them down. 😂
Go with your puppies! You guys know how to be cute as hell haha
Come ride down the bayou and try some cajun cooking.
Creole house is one of my favorite spots to go to !
I agree about the hush puppies. I've never understood the hype. Fill your stomach with something tasty instead.
Love the black cat! ❤❤❤
Yes!
You two are so fun to watch, you should have your own show. How is Easter celebrated in Italy??
Happy Easter!!❤️🇺🇲
easter is a big thing in italy. The sunday we stay in family, every region have their own traditional dishes but more or less lamb is the ingridient more used.
The day after (monday) is called "pasquetta" (little easter) and is a national holyday as well. We stay with friends and we go outside (i think the majority of ppl prepare barbecue or picnic). Happy easter to everybody :D
How do you celebrate?Naturally eating...with family or friends!
@@geografia89 thank you ❤️
Would love to see you both try Fabio Viviani’s Restaurant… Italian Food 🥰
