Megan Albritton
Her krewe: Pearl Domenica (3) and Fern Francine (10 months)
Her last NOLA meal would be: Anything from Herbsaint or fried chicken and white beans from Lil’ Dizzy’s. I would also have to add waffles with whip cream and nutella from Refuel.
Her favorite snowball flavor: watermelon
She believes the best king cakes are found: Any and every. I love sampling all kinds of king cake. Not being from New Orleans, I feel like I don’t know what I’m looking for. But I really like the ones at Maple Street Patisserie.
During Mardi Gras, you’ll find her: Right in front of 4007 St. Charles. The in laws have a condo there and bathroom access is key!
During Saints games you’ll find her: I hate to say this but I am only a part-time Saints fan. I actually root for the Eagles. (I’m going to hide in a closet now.) But I root for the Saints when I know it won’t affect the standings of the Eagles.
Kids at Jazz Fest? Yes, yes, yes! It is so kid friendly and one of the best memories I have is spending a Friday at Jazzfest with my daughter, Pearl. I can’t wait to bring both girls this year!
Jamie Centner
Her krewe: Andrew (AJ) James (almost 4) and Christian Kent (almost 2)
Her last NOLA meal would be: I would go for the Thai Mussels at Delechaise with a Grilled Cheese and side of Duck Fat Fries! Not exactly New Orleans food, but so delicious!!!
Her favorite snowball flavor: I enjoy a Red Velvet stuffed snoball from Sals!
She believes the best king cakes are found: Praline king cake from Manny Randazzos!
During Mardi Gras, you’ll find her: It depends on which parade, but mostly on Napoleon by Superior Seafood. Neutral ground side!
During Saints games you’ll find her: We tend to hang home and enjoy friends, food and yummy beer! Still waiting for season tickets and the perfect babysitter!
Kids at Jazz Fest? Not yet, but contemplating bringing them this year!
