I was planning to do a crawfish boil and was searching high and low for an acceptable seasoning. I had two requirements 1) that the seasoning is good (obviously) and 2) that said seasoning did not have MSG. I kid you not, it is darn near impossible to find something without MSG. Well I happened upon a Youtube video that recommended Cajun Land Brand seasoning (Cajun Land is Deep South's retail line) and I was interested. So I emailed them and asked about MSG. They said theirs did not have any. Yessss! I placed myself an order for 8 lbs of seasoning for our boil and boy I tell you, this stuff is LEGIT! You cannot go wrong here. Fast shipping, great prices, excellent product. I'll be ordering again and again!

This spot was highly recommended so I drove out to Kenner bruh to check it out. You can call your order in ahead or order at the window. They have daily specials and today I got the red beans and rice with Mac and cheese and fish with cornbread ($14). The cornbread was fresh out the oven and so warm and fluffy. The Mac and cheese was fixed just right and then red beans were so flavorful. The fish was good as well. And the portion was huge! I stopped by for lunch but had enough to make it thru dinner. I can't wait to get back and try more of the menu.

It is so surprising to me that such a small store, with a large assortment of seafood doesn't have any of that overwhelming fish odor. We got 4 lbs of fresh shrimp. This was only $20.00.

Cedar Market & Pharmacy is a small Middle Eastern, privately owned, grocery store in Metairie,…read moreLouisiana. It claims to also be a Pharmacy, but I didn't notice anything one would typically find in a pharmacy. It could likely be in a separate room. Their selection of chocolates and candies immediately caught my eye. There are varieties of typical chocolates, like Toblerone and Kinder that I haven't seen before. Additionally their cheese selection is pretty solid, that I had to bring some home with me to Connecticut. They also have meats and salami, which I wasn't particularly interested in, so I can't say much about them. They have some fresh fruits and vegetables, unique juices and snacks. The prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly.

For example, they sell leban and ayran, which are unavailable elsewhere, and their tomato paste, in glass jars rather than in cans, is superior to all other brands. But all their items are of very high quality. They also feature a lunch table at which you can order from a glass display case containing excellent Middle Eastern dishes, and there is usually a small gathering of Arabic-speaking men there with whom you can speak Arabic if you like, and the store personnel are exceptionally courteous and nice. All in all, Cedar Market is a very happy experience.

OMG, how did this place not already have their own business listing on Yelp? For shame! Though I am…read morehappy to get a chance to be the first to review Vintage Garden Kitchen on Yelp, because this is an absolute *gem* of a business, and everyone in the world needs to know about it. Yesterday afternoon, I saw a tweet reminding people to place orders before 4pm, because today (Wednesday) is the day they deliver - yes, that's right, deliver! - their jars of amazingly delicious, healthy, vegetarian-friendly, locally sourced, and [insert list of superlatives and synonyms for the word awesome] soup. Straight from their garden, via the kitchen, to your door. Thanks to the reminder on Twitter, I placed my order online yesterday afternoon for four pints of soup: Fiery Shiitake Mushroom and Barley; Moroccan Chickpea Stew; Rustic Vegetable Bean; and Vegan Lentils and Greens. Each pint comes in a re-usable mason jar, and when you collect six of those, you get a free pint of soup with your next order! Brilliant: it's savvy (saves the business money), and green, and convenient. There's so much win here that I'm having a hard time putting it into words. Long story sort: The Vintage Garden Kitchen is an Arc Enterprises Company, meaning that not only do they provide amazing food (AND DELIVER IT TO YOUR DOOR!), but also, in doing so they provide employment for adults with developmental disabilities. (They're one of the businesses run by the nonprofit Arc of Greater New Orleans.) I've seen the garden where they grow all the food that is used to make these amazing soups, and it blows my mind that food this fresh, this nutritious, and this beautifully convenient is available in New Orleans. But wait, it gets better: their food is shockingly affordable. A half pint of, say, Moroccan Chickpea Stew feeds 2 people, and costs $4.99. The minimum order for delivery is $15, so for four pints I paid about $22.00, and it was delivered the very next day. How. Awesome. Is. That. Seriously. They deliver every Wednesday between 10am and 2pm, and orders must be placed before 4pm on Tuesday to ensure delivery. They deliver to 70001, 70005, 70115, 70118, 70119 (yay!), 70124, and 70125. Again, the minimum order for delivery is $15 (so, approximately three pints, or two quarts, blah blah math and stuff). They take credit cards, it's easy to place an order online, and you can also order in two other ways. Either pre-order for pick-up (and you can come get your soups between 8am and 4pm M-F), or if you don't want to pre-order, you can simply stop by during business hours. Walk-ins are welcome, too! So...yeah. Amazing, amazing, amazing. I'm so glad the Vintage Garden Kitchen exists. I highly recommend you give them a try. Then you, too, can write your very own rave review of this freaking awesome local business. Well done, Vintage Garden Kitchen. Well done. And THANKS!

Bring back your mason jars (I think if you bring 10 back you get a pint free) & bring your leftover grocery/walmart/target/etc bags to help them out as well. SO MANY great soups!!! Some of my favorite are the Yellow Split Pea soup, Mushroom and Asparagus, Moroccan Chickpea Stew; Rustic Vegetable Bean, Roasted Buternut Squash, Chicken & Andouille Gumbo, Sweet Roasted Pepper & Carrot, Veggie Tortilla Soup, Smothered Chicken with Rice & Greens - SO MANY GREAT SOUPS!!!! The location is a little out of the way, on Labarre south of Airline Highway across the railroad tracks, but definetly worth the trip!!!!
