Frequent travelers may be more than a little familiar with roadfood – the types of meals available along highways and in small towns. Come March, anybody staying at timeshare rentals in New Orleans can fill up on this cuisine at the city’s Roadfood Festival.
Now in its 4th year, this popular food festival will officially begin on March 23 with a Friday night kickoff party. At this event, attendees can enjoy Big Easy hors d’oeuvres and open-bar cocktails.
The real fun begins the next morning at 11 a.m., when the street festival opens for business. For six blocks, attendees have a chance to sample food not just from Louisiana chefs, but from across the country. Here, they can enjoy everything from Texas pit barbecue to a sweet slice of pecan pie.
Last year’s festival served up a wide variety of favorites, including dry rub ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, chicken and sausage gumbo, jambalaya and fried catfish.
For those who still have an appetite after attending the street festival, there is the crawfish bowl. Live music and endless crawfish await attendees to this intimate event in the Cajun countryside. Of course, anybody who is too stuffed can always unwind back at their vacation rentals.
