I got a craving for Mandarin Chicken the other day and asked Shaun to order us some while I was on my way home. When he started looking at all our take out menus he couldn’t find it. It turns out none of the Chinese places here make it. After a little more research he found out that the Mandarin Chicken that we’re used to is indigenous to the New Orleans area. Can you believe it? I can understand muffalettas, king cake, beignets and the like, but Mandarin Chicken? Seriously? So now I know what I want next time we come to visit.

Whenever I travel home to New Orleans, I don’t go to seafood restaurants, I have to find my favorite Chinese restaurants to get me a hot order of Mandarin Chicken! I miss it so much!
