I am sitting here my house in the French Quarter of New Orleans deciding what to have for dinner. I was going to make life easy and do a grilled cheese sandwich and French fries, but Alessio has inspired me to get out of my recliner and hit one of the many restaurants in my neighborhood!

I love it when Alessio says ten of the ten I'm going to start saying that instead of 10 out of 10. It's so cute

You know the gumbo is good when he goes in with the bread dip. The Italian version of a chef's kiss

My dad is from NOLA area. His dad’s family is Italian, immigrated in very early 1900s to SE Louisiana. There are a lot of Italians in that area!

"Welcome down to LOOZIANE" with a little smirk just made my day! So much love for Jessi and Alessio 🥰

I love his willingness to try new foods, big respect

Oh, come on, Alessio, they’re called hush puppies because you toss one to your puppy to eat when you want them to stop barking 👍🏻😉. Great job tasting all the N.O. delicacies. They’re to die for😋

New Orleans is truly special. I would give anything for beignets from Cafe du Monde right about now.

I love Alessio's honesty and enthusiasm with his food reviews. 10 of the ten!

He cracks me up. What a beautiful smile and a joy in eating. Finally, he is amazing because he makes you laugh and smile. Very important!

Wow I’m am so hungry watching Alessio eat…love Cajun and Creole cooking ❤️😋😋

Louisiana guy here! Subbed. Really enjoy your Instagram too. I saw your grandpa’s mosaic at LSU. I have LSU season football tickets and open invitation to come tailgate and go to a game! :)

I fell in love with New Orleans when I went there years ago, before Katrina. Some of the best food I ever ate in my life.

I lived in New Orleans for a couple of months. They have the best food I have ever had!! And I have traveled a lot!!

Wow the Michelin rating - thats amazing! Great watching you guys eat. Hope you are endulging in a happy easter feast!! 🐇🐣🥰

Welcome to the big easy...if the alligator tastes fishy it is from the oil they also fry fish in, Alligator has a somewhat neutral flavor and not fishy at all when grilled or used in gumbo or stew

This vid, along w/ the ten of the ten, (plus me being a New Orleanian), earned you a new subscriber. Y'all put a smile on my face. Glad y'all are enjoying my city.

Should have him try a muffaletta sandwich! New Orleans Italian! 🇮🇹 ⚜️

How is Alessio so slim?? He eats sooo much! Mangia, Manga, Mangia!

This makes me want to go visit New Orleans. The food looks delicious.

Y’all are making me want to take a 5 hour drive to New Orleans sooo bad!! We have amazing food in Alabama but nothing compares to Cajun cuisine.

Hush Puppies name comes from the slaves that were trying to escape would throw these on the trail for the dogs. It would in theory 'hush the puppies'. Pretty fantastic when you think about it. Glad that you enjoyed these dishes. New Orleans has their own market for the food that they craft & create. Thank you for sharing.

Happy Easter and enjoy the Cajun food

Thank y’all for coming to the city and tasting what eat all the time love yall

so many amazing choices in Lousianna. Fried boudan balls, boudan sausage of infinite variety, muffeleta sandwich.

10 of the 10 ❤️

One of my favourite Italian hands down. Would you do a collab with my other favorite Italian KZfaqrs Pasta Grammer?? Also just wanted to note that in New Zealand we don't have crawfish.

When he pulled that crawfish and you started to dismiss his process hahaha. The man knows what he is doing! Maybe is he 1/2 French! He even ate a crawfish claw!!! Professional haha

He seems to love our original regional foods. It's when we try to make Italian food or our convenience junk stuff he's got an issue with!

Ron's Gumbo Stop in Metairie, fried green tomatoes in season.

What a good hearted dude, Italians RULE…helped make this country the greatest in the world

This is hysterical! Alessio is such a natural...his reactions are priceless!

People say chicken because the texture is a lot like chicken. It does have a bit of a fishy flavor but the fishiness is very mild and you kinda don't taste it after a minute. The pastalyah is a new thing, most people from here don't really eat it. I could tell he's a crawfish professional when he ate the claw on the big one. Sometimes if the tail meat is a little stuck you can pinch the very end of the tail slightly to free it.

I can’t believe I’m a month late on seeing this. I live in Louisiana and it makes me so happy to see yall trying our foods :)

They're called hush puppies because the underground railroad would throw them at the dogs so they wouldn't be found. To make them hush up 😂

Wow, he peels crawfish better then me 😂😂. Happy Easter 🐣

So happy to see y'all eating better than usual in my city 🥰 & super impressed Alessio pronounced New Orleans properly 👌🏻 y'all brought Micha with y'all awe 😻 hope y'all gave her at least one crawfish, won't hurt her none 💜

So cute and hilarious, love your vibes🎉❤😊

New Orleans ❤ I love everything about it ❤

Love it. Great video. Glad he knew what to do with a crawfish still in the shell.

I lived in Gaeta Italy. I knew he would love most of the food. Cannot go wrong with a bowl of red beans and rice. Such a simple and hearty meal. Would love to see an Italian version. Kidney beans, rice, onions, celery, bell peppers, and some pork meat.

New Orleans is an amazing city. I'm sure it will look even better as time goes on, as more people renovate older houses there.

I love watching people trying the food i grew up with for the first time, there is nothing else like it in the world!

Lol funniest man eating food so entertaining.🎉🎉🎉

You two are adorable! How do you stay so thin eating all that fun stuff???

The hush puppies are called corn fritters here in md. And wv my mom made the best. She left no recipe behind so I don't know what made hers so much better then most, except for maybe the love she put into making them!!

Lots of Sicilians ended up in New Orleans but it mostly shows in the Mufeletta.

You can trust Alessio, because he's BRUTALLY HONEST and he's from a country with a strong reputation for culinary excellence. As of 2023, the countries with the most Michelin-starred restaurants are ranked: 1. 🇫🇷 France 625 2. 🇯🇵 Japan 414 3. 🇮🇹 Italy 380

I highly recommend going the Deanies in Bucktown and trying their bbq shrimp.

Now I want to go there…thank you!!

New Orleans has some of the best flavor combos than anywhere else.

Crawfish are called Yabbies in Australia

❤I couldn't stop smiling❤...I love it when people try American flavored food!!! Though I love spice and a lot of people don't love pepper like I do.😊

Get some bananas Foster! And beignets!

I remember hearing a story that hunters would fry up a batch of these and throw them to their dogs to eat and say "Hush Puppies". There are lots of different stories about the origin of hush puppies.

Chicken of the swamp! I love it. A little lemony cocktail sauce usually goes best. It's not fish or chicken, but it is somewhere in between.

Welcome to our city. Jessi and Alessio. Hope you got to listen to some great music as well.

I live an hour from there, on the Gulf of Mexico. This makes me hungry !! When I serve Reds Beans and Rice, I fib and tell my guests that I put squirrel in it, and call it Red Beans and Mice.

I love shrimp (or oyster if you prefer) po’ boys. Must try! I absolutely love the food in Louisiana. Makes me want to visit just to eat all my favorites.

Food looked delicious and so glad you two enjoyed but I'm still thinking one of Alessio's favorite pasta in America was that restaurant in NY where he was eating and crying it was so good 😂

Love you guys! FYI everyone says not to put cheese on seafood but everyone puts cheese on their seafood 😂

You two are so fun to watch, you should have your own show. How is Easter celebrated in Italy?? Happy Easter!!❤️🇺🇲

Love the black cat! ❤❤❤

Creole vs. Cajun style seasonings/foods... often a thin line and yet also, a wide one... either is truly top notch cuisine when prepared by expert cooks!

I could live off of red beans and rice. I love that stuff!!!

Ah,glad you ordered the right food for the area. No dog in Hushpuppies,it's just fried cornbread .The name comes from it being given to pestering dogs and children at a fish fry so the adults could get the main meal done. "Hush Puppies!"

I love you guys and all your videos! Thank You for sharing with us! I love his reactions

Alessio is too funny and I love the both of you guys

Y'all are fantastic. Great content!

I wish I was there with you both. I love Crawfish Ettoufee as well

Italiy and Louisiana, brothers in eating mud bugs. I didn’t know. That’s awesome.

Yes, privileged to spend a lot of time in N'awlins, 91-93. My partner waa a surgical resident at Tulane. Really fascinating but a mixed bag. The food was incredible: black ham at Bluebird for breakfast. Transcendent gumbo and brilliant seafood generally but did not appreciate the grasshoppers with hot sauce. Brennan's was the best of old school; Paul Prudhomme made you sit with strangers and pay with Amex but it was worth it. Cops started out at 14K per year in 91 $. So the police force would be utterly corrupt. Tulane, a top 20 school, paid my baby $24K for the first year of her surgical residency. There was a lot of poverty and crime. But a lot of style. Anne Rice. Senior faculty endlessly renovating mansions in the Quarter. Economic dynamics of the late Austrio-Hungarian empire with better food and music.

We eat cornbread with anything that has a sauce or gravy. Red beans and rice- cornbread, gumbo-cornbread if you’re frying fish, shrimp, oysters… fry cornbread. When the pups start barking toss them a hush puppy to quiet them down. 😂

Love all the laughs 🎉

OMG, that looks so delicious! My mouth is literally watering right now, lol

Was just at Creole House a week ago. It was great food.

The original "hush puppies" were balls of corn meal, that runaway slaves would carry with them. Some to eat but they were also thrown out to distract dogs that may have been getting too close. And since baying hounds were the preferred tracking dogs, the balls of corn meal hushed them puppies right up :-)

The fork wave when you ask Alessio about the parmesan on the seafood. 🤣

If you and New Orleans go to Cajun seafood, they have crawfish they have crabs. They have everything that you want and more stuff than you think you would ever need. Also try the Uy gooey cake and some of their desserts. Terrific fantastic.

You can't go wrong with food in New Orleans!

I dont think Allessio would enjoy the food as much if Jessi was not his guide. I mean she really knows her soul food and finds the best of the best joints.

Creole house is one of my favorite spots to go to !

I thought Alessio was gonna stoke out today. Lmao Happy Easter

Red Beans & Rice is awesome, especially with a piece of andouille sausage.

I got the sampler and the fried alligator from here on my last trip with a hurricane. Everything was delicious.

Gumbo is truly one of the greatest foods ever invented.

Alessio has to rate French cuisine too since he has 25% French 😂😂😂

I purchased some Etimio, and it's EXCELLENT, but I forgot to use the discount! I will next time.

Happy Easter xo 🐣✝️🫶

Gumbo features Sassafras in the recipe and sprinked on top.

gotta give pistolettes, gator sausage, boudin and fried boudin balls a try while down there !

New Orleans may have the best food in the whole country in my opinion.

My husband's friend took us to an Italian restaurant in New Orleans where we had a 7 course meal to celebrate my husband's birthday one year

Try the oyster and artichoke soup. It's one of my favorites.

Hush puppies are the best!

The food looks WONDERFUL! At what restaurant were you dining in New Orleans? I have to go there, too.!

Would love to see you both try Fabio Viviani’s Restaurant… Italian Food 🥰

,,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you… Greetings Jörg

This is adorable

When she asked if they have crowfish in Italy? 😅 I almost died 😂
