The Popeye's chicken in New Orleans is perfection. I can totally tell the difference in the seasoning and breading. The Popeye's Chicken franchises around me are awful (North Texas).

Because when I think of New Orleans style food, I don't think easy. The gumbo dip THOU posted sounds great! Also, a crawfish boil is simple and easy ... if you can find them! Do you serve alcohol? If so, I would get some Abita beers!

We used the kings Hawaiian rolls and sliced them in half and put ham and cheese on them with some melted butter on tops of the rolls. Heat in the oven and then cut into slider/sandwiches. Probably could modify to be like a Muffuletta sandwich.

I love the idea of gumbo / jambalaya because you can just leave it in a crockpot on warm with some disposable bowls. :) Fun idea! I know she's a cook in the movie right? What are some things she makes? mrsjd on "What kind of food would you serve at a New Orleans theme party?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-food-would-you-serve-at-a-new-orleans-theme-party#post-2467242 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 23:10:36 +0000 mrsjd 2467242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Red beans and rice with smoked sausage. Easiest and most delicious. Dry not canned beans though. Southern living has an easy and cute muffuletta slider recipe.

I also went to a Mardi Gras birthday party recently and they had jambalaya and King cake. Although it'd rather have beignets than king cake. You could maybe do shrimp cocktail? Or serve potato salad, which doesn't necessary scream New Orleans, but a lot of people serve with gumbo. And maybe a hurricane type punch to drink. chopsuey on "What kind of food would you serve at a New Orleans theme party?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-food-would-you-serve-at-a-new-orleans-theme-party#post-2467205 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 22:32:43 +0000 chopsuey 2467205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Jambalaya sounds so goooood Mrs. Pickle on "What kind of food would you serve at a New Orleans theme party?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-food-would-you-serve-at-a-new-orleans-theme-party#post-2467191 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 22:20:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2467191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Muffalettas, jambalaya, Abita beer gingerbebe on "What kind of food would you serve at a New Orleans theme party?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-food-would-you-serve-at-a-new-orleans-theme-party#post-2467189 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 22:18:55 +0000 gingerbebe 2467189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Jambalaya can be made in the crockpot or Dutch oven for a crowd, or you can order Italian meat sandwiches and add an olive relish for easy muffulettas.

I like themes and I am trying to think of stuff to serve for the adults. I will probably just do a Chickfila nugget platter for the kids...it was a hit at LO 1's 4th birthday! Do you have any easyish suggestions for party food? My mil says she can make beignets!
