World Tour: The Road to NOLA

College basketball is in full swing and friends have yet another reason to gather around the TV each week for finger food, drinks and trash-talking. As a proud Tar Heel, this time of year always excites me; however, this year my excitement level has been taken up a notch. This year’s Final Four will bring the top four teams of NCAA Men’s Basketball to New Orleans and if all goes according to plans, yours truly will be in the Big Easy stuffing my face will all the creole cooking my heart desires and cheering on my Tar Heels – talk about a perfect combination. Johnna has had the great pleasure of hightailing it on a flight down to NOLA for some good, ol’ fashioned southern hospitality, but I have never been able to experience the sultry culture and heated flavors of New Orleans and so I was definitely all smiles when I got the news! My next tasks are to find a cheap flight and to come up with a modest (I tend to get crazy) list of spots that I will definitely have to visit. Until the grand finale of March Madness rolls around, I’ll stick to wings and other game-day favorites and patiently await the feast of seafood that I plan to attack once I reach NOLA.
