My recent visit to New Orleans reinforced the notion I've always had, that the city has phenomenal food. But what I didn't expect was that one of the biggest revelations in that department would involve fast food!

One of the first things I did when returning to Minneapolis was to look up this joint: upon which I discovered, they have recently expanded into Minnesota!
