New Orleans, LA

Unique dishes from New Orleans, from around Louisiana, and from the top-ranking Roadfood restaurants all across America will be served in affordable, sample-size portions. Each restaurant will have its own booth where visitors can meet and exchange views with the proprietors of the restaurants.

The New Orleans Roadfood Festival is the creation of a countrywide team of passionate foodies including Jane and Michael Stern, authors of Roadfood and regular guests on public radio's "The Splendid Table," and Stephen Rushmore Jr., the visionary creator of Roadfood.com. Profits from the New Orleans Roadfood Festival will benefit Cafe Reconcile, a non-profit enterprise located in the Central City neighborhood of New Orleans that provides job training in the hospitality and restaurant industries for the city's at-risk youth.
