You Gotta Try Alligator Meat in New Orleans!
Todayβs Menu ππ₯π₯ π Wood Fired Oyster Roast Must-order + highly recommended! While waiting, I saw an older gentleman nearby enjoying this β the aroma was incredible, with a Chinese BBQ-style spice blend πΆοΈπ₯. The oysters werenβt huge, but super fresh and flavorful. π Alligator The texture is somewhere between chicken and fish. This fried alligator had no gamy taste β crispy on the outside, firm and tender inside. If you're curious, give it a try β it's surprisingly easy to enjoy! πβ¨ π Cochon Braised pork with bold, savory Southern seasoning β almost feels like hearty Chinese-style stew ππ. (Southern cuisine tends to be richly spiced, which might be why it hits home for me!) π Banana Pudding Time for something sweet after all that savory! This was unexpectedly delicious β creamy, banana-rich, and not too sweet. The banana flavor really shines ππ. Important Info βοΈππ‘ π Restaurant: Cochon Restaurant π Address: 930 Tchoupitoulas St Ste A, New Orleans, LA 70130 π Price per person: $50β60 The decor here is gorgeous too β very popular for photos!
