New Orleans is an Onion Ring Town

I’ve always felt like French fries are mostly mailed-in in New Orleans.
Not sure why that is, but average prevails.
Meanwhile, there are tons of outstanding onion ring options.That seems to be the calling card in the crescent city.
Anyone know the genesis of this? Or am I totally off here.

Onion ring starter is a staple at places like Casementos, Jack Dempsey's, R&O's, Charlie's, etc

You are correct. All the old school local restaurants have onion rings. Usually big ones, not thin ones.

Interesting take. Usually too expensive of an app and too filling for empty calories…but if offered with an interesting sauce I’m in. If you ever come to BSL, Trapani’s does an amazing pile of them. Haven’t had better.

Can't stand the shoe string onion rings... R&O does that.. The best I have had is right next door to R&O.. Is it New Orleans seafood and sprits? They are addicting there....

Chubbie’s in Algiers has the best onion rings imo, taste just like how I remember Popeyes onion rings did

Liuzza’s on Bienville makes onion rings the way God intended

Luther's is the GOAT followed by DiCristina's in Covington.

Yep
The Trinity is important - so why not fry it?

I know Frankie and Johnny’s does fried bell peppers.
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone try to fry celery, though.

Agreed, except at Arnaud’s. Their puffed potatoes are the best french fries (sort of) you’ll ever have. They are perfection.

City Cafe in BTR, Shoestring Onion Rings.

The onion rings at Fitzgerald's were my favorite..

The best onion rings I ever had were at the LSU football game at Alabama in 2003. They were the thick kind and were nice and sweet. I'm sure they must have been frozen and I regret I didn't find out the brand.
I have also wondered how the onion rings are that they sell at Sam's (the frozen ones in the 10 lb box) . Anybody ever try those?

Rocky and Carlo's shoe string onion rings for the win. Greatest of all time in my opinion.

Bring back Popeyes onion rings!

The Galley Seafood on Old Metairie Road has some of the best onion rings in town. They’re of the thick variety.
