Favorite Festival/fair food and which Festival

Kind of unfair to compare the Jazz Fest to smaller-scale local festivals, but I adore Prejean's pheasant gumbo at Jazz Fest.

If you want something different and some really good food.

I recommend Allon Monger Festival ( that's Cajun for "Lets Eat") St Jules Catholic Church Belle Rose, LA this Sunday.

Very small Festival and Sunday only, but plenty of great food served in small portions so you get to try everything.

Great food, good music and good people, just don't expect the giant crowd.

you seem excited to tell us this

Pork Steak sandwich from the church booth at the Rice Festival

try the chicken sandwich from the same booth. Whole leg quarter between two pieces of Evangeline maid

Also the germanfest in Roberts cove has some good food and good beer

This sounds interesting - might have to take a drive this Sunday. Thanks for the tip

I thought I had tried everything from them but never the chicken! Will definitely try it come October.
I love the look on people's faces who have never eaten the pork steak sandwich. When they open it up and it is just hanging off the sides, the look on their face is priceless
We usually take one home and make 3 - 4 sandwiches from one.
That bar-b-que is always the first thing I smell walking up to Rice Festival. When I smell that I know it is Rice Festival and football time

it's a fried pork chop between two slices of bread and its glorious
always my first stop
it's at the yakamein lady's booth

Jazz Fest has the best food, hands down. I didn't see it the last year I went, but the crabmeat po'boy was outstanding.

FYI - Not sure if you ever make it to SW LA but I just noticed Don's in Scott has several types of Prejean's Gumbo. I did not see the pheasant but two or three kinds of Prejean's Gumbo.
