Culinary Journey through New Orleans History
(Optional: Additional cost for participation)
Created and conducted by
Morgan Clevenger
Legacy Tours and Events Ever wondered what’s
really in gumbo? Why was “ brunch” invented? To roux
or not to roux? Find out the answers to these
questions and more on
this exciting journey through New Orleans’
extraordinary culinary history.
Starting on the Mississippi River in The French
Quarter, you’ll learn about the origins of New
Orleans and the diverse cultures; French, Spanish,
Italian, Native American, African, and Caribbean,
which influenced New Orleans’ world famous cuisine.
In the first hour, we’ll stroll past important
landmarks like Jackson Square, Café Du Monde, and
the centuries-old French Market, with narrative
stories along the way. At the end of The Market,
we’ll board a comfortable motor coach for a narrated
tour through the city, including Esplanade Ave.,
lined with Creole mansions; Bayou St. John, the
waterway, which brought plantation goods to the
city; and grand St. Charles Avenue and the beautiful
Garden District. While food ways are the focus, the
narration will also touch on New Orleans music,
architecture, and lifestyles. By journey’s end, we
hope to leave you with
an understanding of how New Orleans food is at the
heart of a culture that celebrates life.
