Gotta love New Orleans. Rouses on Tchoup has a big ol’ cooler of boiled crawfish ready for grab and go. Only in NOLA 🙂

We watched the employees refill the cooler. And, they each grabbed a mudbug afterward and ate it. We’re going to file that one under good quality control.

The store was insanely busy around lunch today. We asked the cashier when is a good, slow time to shop – 9 p.m.? Early morning?

“After Mardi Gras,” she said.

We also found some new goodies today (pic below): Rouses’ brand of coffee, Rouses’ brand of Italian sausage, a peppery cheese and a chip dip called Demon Dip. We’ll see how these turn out.

Have y’all found any strange food in the grocery stores yet?

We’re trying out some new items from Rouses. (photo via @newinNOLA on Instagram)
