Feasty Forks

Yes, is a major tourist destination, but for a good reason 😋 We came back multiple times for the iconic beignets and cafe au lait combo. The beignets are served hot and fresh, and all of them are consistently soft and fluffy 🥐 Naturally, they come in bags filled with excessively necessary amounts of powdered sugar 🙌

Can’t stop by NOLA without digging into a classic Cajun seafood boil at 🦀 🌶🥵 This isn’t a meal, it’s a whole *experience* complete with aprons and gloves. Those Cajun spices pack some serious heat so we took our time cleaning out every last bite of crab and crawfish 🦞

Look what washed up on the 👀 🌊 This crab roll hit all the right notes with a generous lump of juicy crabmeat stuffed into a buttered roll 🦀🍞The light lemon butter sauce was perfectly balanced with the natural freshness of the crabmeat! It’s one of the pricier items on the menu, but 100% worth👨‍🍳💋

We were blown away by and their masterful pit BBQ 🍖 We crowded our tray to try as many meats as we could — brisket, ribs, burnt ends, and tri-tip with sides of Mac and cheese, baked beans, collard greens and BBQ fried pork skins 🥩🐷 All the meats were juicy, tender, and perfectly smoky, although the burnt ends were by far our favorite 🤌🔥

📍Downtown Frederick, Maryland is so so pretty! It’s a beautiful place with nice architecture and many small shops and restaurants. We dropped in at for some wagyu burgers 🍔 and sweet potato fries 🍟 before heading over to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine across the street. They have outdoor seating options which is great for avoiding crowded spaces//

I’m obsessed with these handmade udon noodles from 🍜 They’re delightfully chewy and soak up all the flavors from the dish 😋
•
Their signature beef udon is a highlight with a savory broth and thinly sliced seasoned pieces of beef. Also recommend the Kamo-nanban with a lighter duck bonito broth and tender pieces of duck breast 🦆
•
If you’re not feeling a soup noodle, their Mentaiko Kamatama is a creamy spicy cod roe udon packing a powerful umami punch
