I read Xander Peter's article "What happened to New Orleans' Black truck farming culture?" and was…read moreeager to check out George's Produce for myself. I had such a blast with George when I visited the stand yesterday. He was kind, attentive, and informative, sharing his knowledge of how to cook certain vegetables and how his father had taught him to grow and strengthen social connections with the farmers to ensure high-quality crops. I bough an array of blueberries, cherry tomatoes, sweet potato, eggplant, and more. I also bought jars of apple walnut butter and blackberry preserves made by his wife and daughter. I hope that all locals and visitors in the area will make it a point to pay a visit to George and keep this Black-owned farm and business going strong! https://scalawagmagazine.org/2020/04/new-orleans-black-truck-agriculture/

After having come to this place for a few years, I've decided to take my business elsewhere. Today…read morewas an extremely horrible experience with George. He was very nasty to me, extremely rude and disrespectful. After I called him to tell him that I didn't appreciate his attitude and the manner by which he spoke to me, he apologized but the damaged was already done. Some folks I know won't patronize him anymore because of his behavior and rotten fruits and vegetables. So, last year, we purchased their mustard greens for $20 a case. So, I went in today to ask if the greens are still $20 a case and he went off like a mad man. He yelled and said, "Ma'am, I know you never bought mustard greens here for $20 a case and I don't believe you just said that to me." With this loud and obnoxious voice, he kept running his mouth, so I walked in the back to talk to the more sensible person, his wife. I asked his wife and she said yes, they were $20 a case last year but prices have increased to $36 a case. That's all the idiot had to say. Everyone knows that Hurricane Ida all but demolished their establishment so prices were probably increased for repairs. A simple, prices have increased GREATLY from last year would've sufficed. But nooooo, he starts yelling at me, the customer. He ought to be glad I needed these greens for Thanksgiving or I would have just walked out. I accepted his apology but I'm never going back there. Not sure if he's bi-polar or something but he was deranged today.

Hong Kong Market -- 5…read more Located inside my favorite place on earth... and no, Disney World cannot compete. This is THE best international market in the Greater New Orleans area. Tucked inside is their bánh mì spot--the Vietnamese po-boy--and baby... it's a staple. Open daily, and you'll usually catch the same sweet older woman back there faithfully whipping out sandwiches like clockwork. It's something about that consistency and care that just hits different. They're under new management now and the space got a little upgrade, so I'm not sure if everything is exactly the same menu-wise, but my go-to has always been the one with meatballs--and I ALWAYS add extra pâté. That pâté? Don't skip it. The bread is exactly what it needs to be. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside... not too hard, not too soft. Perfect balance. Prices went up just a little, but honestly? For about $7, you're getting a full, loaded sandwich that eats like a meal and then some. Still one of my favorite quick eats. Every time I'm in there, I'm grabbing one.

Obviously the selection changes every week, but you get to know your favs. Parking is generally available, though you may have to drive around or walk a block or two - at least it's free on weekends. Bank to get cash is close by, but most vendors take Venmo now; some take credit cards. You've got to get out of bed - might as well make the morning a good experience. :)

They also carry some gummy and chocolate varieties, some spices, some boxed coffee, some Middle Eastern pastries. Only some things were labeled with either what it was or the price of it, so that was a little disorienting. I was surprised to find a cafe and gelato bar inside. The gelato flavors were incredible. I settled on popcorn caramel and baklava in a waffle bowl. An employee said that everything was made in-house. The price was standard considering that all was made there. The service was weird. I kept getting served after people who'd gotten there after me. My ice cream scoops were significantly smaller than my boyfriend's. Returning isn't high on my list of priorities, but I'm glad I tried them.

This unassuming spot in a strip mall was gorgeous inside. And it serves coffee, pastries, ice cream plus y'know candy. AND they roast their own nuts, spices and I guess coffee beans. There were definitely folks hanging out and enjoying a Turkish style coffee... I guess either the caffeine doesn't hit them the way it does me or they had no plans to sleep. The candy isn't labeled 100% correctly but you kind of know that gummy worms are not gummy strawberries. I tried an assortment bag of gummies and some of chocolates and the price was by the pound. Re got some freshly roasted unsalted cashews and they were delicious! Parking is easy in the strip mall lot. And as you step in you definitely leave Louisiana and step into another country.
