Introduction
food is celebratory,food triggers memories,food stirs emotions.I had the great pleasure to travel to New Orleans for
business in 2011 and was taken to eat at an amazing
restaurant on Bourbon Street called Antoine’s. Our group
was seated not in the main dining area, but in a haunted
private dining room!
I had the étouffée, on which my Crawfish Étouffée recipe
(here) is based. The kitchen staff also prepared special
Swerve-sweetened sugar-free desserts for our table.
A lot of the people I was dining with were locals. They
asked me how I stay keto and said that it is extremely
difficult to do in New Orleans because the local motto is
“live to eat,” not “eat to live,” which I found quite
interesting.
