Funny how the black influence is so strong in Southern Louisiana that white folks even sound black.
Francophone Africa has the best taste in eyewear.
😍 the accents in this vid are GORGEOUS! 🫠ASMR
Thanks Chef for coming to the Iron Chef event at Arthur Ashe School yesterday ❤ we had a blast and my son's team lead by Chef Tony won 2nd place 😊
My husband first asked me to be his girlfriend while we were eating at Guy's <3
The chef sounds like he has the best stories. Catfish, huh?
New subscriber here thanks to this video ❤🎉
I love Dakar Nola, and I love New Orleans. Thank you for the recs Chef Serigne! Excited to try during my next visit ❤
I'm hungry now!⚜️
New Orleans (and south Louisiana in general) is absolutely a very concentrated example of the "melting pot" idea we all learned about in American History classes in middle school. New Orleans and Baton Rouge became pretty major port cities back in the day, when ships were the only way goods and people got around. So we ended up with a pretty diverse population. Which, only made our culture and food better, in my opinion.
Fantastic update on NO cuisine!
Fritay 🇭🇹

As a NOLA resident I just want to thank you to chef Mbaye for creating an absolute gem of a restaurant with Dakar! It’s still the best new spot to open in the city these last few years, and a tasting menu experience that even tops the Omakase at Nagomi (very different, of course). I’ve been to Dakar at least ten times since it opened and have been blown away each time!
