3 Best Day Trips from New Orleans

"This simple yellow building with a rickety-looking wooden porch looks somewhat anonymous, aside from a hand-written specials board outside and a basic patio attached to the side. If you didn’t know what a "boucaniere" was you’d drive straight past it, but once you know that it means "a place for smoking meats," you won’t make that mistake again. The dedication here—whether to pork, chicken or brisket—truly is a delight to behold. You can order individual portions of each, or have the kitchen whip up a sandwich or salad bowl. Cajun classics such as gumbo and boudin sausage complete a mouthwatering picture. It’s one of those casual spots that has an underlying seriousness about what they serve and is going to impress any BBQ fan." - Paul Oswell
