Commander’s Palace

Eat the East Coast

Stop 1: Commander’s Palace 1/12

There’s no better place to experience both the history and future of ‘Haute Creole’ - as the food movement has been coined - than at the iconic Commander’s Palace. The multi-award winning restaurant has been around since 1893, bringing big-hitting Louisiana flavours to the Garden District with ingredients all sourced from within 100km. Go for the classic Creole Turtle Soup, served with crushed lemon, and finish off with Creole Bread Pudding Soufflé. Food for the soul. (Image credit: Bobak Ha'Eri)

Café Du Monde

Eat the East Coast

Stop 2: Café Du Monde 2/12

Another longstanding New Orleans venue, Café Du Monde has been dishing out coffee and chicory since 1862. It’s also open 24/7, so makes for a perfect road trip stop. Coffees here are traditionally served Au Lait, mixed half and half with hot milk – with the chicory root giving an almost chocolate flavour. On top of the outstanding coffee, the café is very famous for its Beignets – square French-style doughnuts topped with heavenly powdered sugar. These delightful treats are so good, they’re the only thing on the menu. (Image credit: Robfromabove)

Wintzell’s Oyster House

Eat the East Coast

Stop 3: Wintzell’s Oyster House 3/12

How do you like yours – fried, stewed, or nude? Oysters, that is. And not just any oysters – some of the freshest the Gulf Coast has to offer from the historic Wintzell’s Oyster House on Dauphin Street. The restaurant, which originally began life as a tiny bar with six stools, serves seafood alongside other local classics – try the hearty gumbo or spicy sautéed crab claws.

Sweet Lew's BBQ

Eat the East Coast

Stop 6: Sweet Lew's BBQ 6/12

As you cross into North Carolina, Charlotte is your next destination, where good old-fashioned BBQ awaits. Serving up mouth-watering, tongue-slapping dishes, Sweet Lew’s only seasons its meats, never saucing them. Their smokehouse brings out incredible flavors using Hickory, Pecan and Peach woods, which gives them their award-winning taste. Highlights on offer in Charlotte’s only true smokehouse include 12-hour-smoked NC pork, prime beef brisket with mustard sauce and juicy pork sandwiches with slaw and pickle.

OakMoon Farm and Creamery

Eat the East Coast

Stop 7: OakMoon Farm and Creamery 7/12

Not only do you get to taste the fresh goat’s cheese at Oak Moon Farm and Creamery – you get to make it. Stop by the idyllic hamlet of Bakersville which leads up to the glorious Roan Mountain for a step back in time at this quirky micro dairy. They have the best philosophy for making their cheeses – happy goats make delicious milk, and delicious milk makes amazing cheese. Savour tasting a range of organic cheeses, from the floral notes of ‘Willow’ to the Black Oat Boulette (balls of fresh goat cheese with dill, garlic and black pepper).

The Pink Cadillac Diner

Eat the East Coast

Stop 8: The Pink Cadillac Diner 8/12

It’s impossible to miss the Pink Cadillac Diner. Firstly, for the rockin’ pink Cadillac parked outside, but also for the bright bubble-gum pink diner itself and its electric turquoise accents. Park up and swing on inside for a ‘50s-style lunch to the sweet sounds of Elvis. Choose from burgers, steaks, hotdogs, nachos, fries and deli sandwiches. Or, grab a seat at the ice cream bar for shakes, sundaes, floats and malts galore!

Locust Point Steamers

Eat the East Coast

Stop 9: Locust Point Steamers 9/12

Naturally, Baltimore is well-known for its seafood – in particular its crab. A real local favourite is Locust Point Steamers in the Locust Point neighbourhood. The crab house is no fine dining affair, but offers Maryland cuisine at its best. Pile your plate high from a selection of fresh seafood: scallops, shrimp, clams, mussels, oysters, lobster tail, and of course, crab everything.

John’s Roast Pork

Eat the East Coast

Stop 10: John’s Roast Pork 10/12

It’s no small wonder cheesesteaks are one of the States' favourite dishes. Impossibly thin slices of beef slathered in gooey cheese and stuffed into long, crusty rolls – what’s not to love? For one of the best Philly cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, head to John’s Roast Pork. Despite its obvious speciality in the name, the oozing cheesesteaks here are wildly raved about, with a seeded roll and the best ‘drip’ factor around. (Image credit: roadfood.com)

Katz’s Deli

Eat the East Coast

Stop 11: Katz’s Deli 11/12

Famous as it is for being the setting for THAT scene in rom-com classic When Harry Met Sally, it’s the piled-high pastrami sandwiches that have kept Katz’s in business since 1888. The place may be busy, but the servers encourage you to take your time and choose carefully in order to make you the perfect sandwich. If you’re not the pastrami type, the turkey sandwiches are another huge favourite. (Image credit: Beyond My Ken)

Glasserie

Eat the East Coast

Stop 12: Glasserie 12/12

An enticing Mediterranean menu and views of the cool Brooklyn streets combine to great effect in this old glass factory. The specialty dish is rabbit prepared three different ways; a kebab-style starter, served on the bone beside delicious vegetables to nibble on, and in a stew. The Glasserie has succeeded in turning fine dining into a new and adventurous experience; gone are the repetitive three-course servings and in come many smaller, more manageable platters.
