The Soul of New Orleans, Gumbo, and Mardi Gras Too
February 2nd, 2010 · 15 Comments
The Soul of New Orleans is a wonderful short video narrated by Wright Thompson, and highlights the current elation that the city is feeling now. With Mardi Gras in full swing and parades rolling on weekend days and weekday nights, and wit the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl for the first time this Sunday (02/07/2010), the city is alive more than ever before since Katrina. This Spirit of Louisiana and The Soul of New Orleans is especially represented with this fantastic video.

Ben is our litmus test for all things that are tasty and I can assure you that your kids will love this sandwich and oven baked fries every time.
