LA Versus L.A. - Food

I hate to say it but New Orleans was kind of unimpressive with its food.  Don't get me wrong, there were a few places that we really loved (Felix's, EAT) but after Day 2, we were tired of seeing gumbo and etouffee on every single menu we looked at.  There just wasn't a lot of variety in the French Quarter, which is something I truly love about Los Angeles.

The other thing kind of weird about the food in New Orleans was that most every dish at most every restaurant was priced around $10-$14.  There weren't a lot of places you could get something for $6, and only a handful of places that would cost upwards of $40 per person.  It just got a little tiring going from restaurant to restaurant and seeing the same plate of jambalaya for $12 everywhere you go.  We did get out of the French Quarter for two meals and had some different experiences but if you're spending most of your time in the FQ, don't expect a lot of variety.

Advantage: Los Angeles.
