<p>Having just returned from our first trip to New Orleans, we have an extreme appreciation for the incredible cuisine in the city of jazz. From char-grilled oysters to beignet, New Orleans offers a huge array of food options that originated in the south, and are now being duplicated around the globe.</p>
<p>California&#8217;s Great America is hosting their third annual Taste of Orleans event July 14-15 and 21-22, 2018. </p>
<p>Taste of Orleans features live music, decorations, sidewalk chalk artists and of course amazing flavors to tie it all together.</p>
<p>Guests can purchase a food tasting card for $30 ($25 for season passholders) which provides an amazing value to try the menu options. </p>
