Warning: Do not watch the following if you’re currently hungry or aren’t prepared to be hungry 24 minutes from now. Because i the latest episode of his Munchies web series, “F–k, That’s Delicious,” Action Bronson heads to one of the food capitals of the country: New Orleans. And, wow, does what he eats look delicious.
First, the Queens native heads to Coquette, in Uptown, where he proclaims, “Fruit and fried things just go well together,” after chomping on some fried chicken with watermelon hot sauce. Yup, that sounds about right. He washes that down with a sandwich packed with 24-hour cooked hanger steak, sliced thin with onion rings, pickles and horseradish, which, understandably, Bam Bam labels as “divine.” He then washes that down with a sandwich filled with 8-hour smoked pastrami, fatty brisket, two year aged cheese, pickles and cole slaw.
Next was Mimi’s in the Marigny, which he proclaims is “the best recommendation I’ve ever been given.” It looks like he orders about half the menu, including escargot, which he renames the “clam of the earth.”
Bronsalino then hits up Willie Mae’s Scotch House, in Treme, for what appeared to be mouth-watering fried chicken: “It’s like big pieces of chicken popcorn — but not popcorn chicken.”
To round out the exquisite, delectable snacking tour, Bronson stops by Toups’ Meatery in Mid-City. He kicks it with the chef in the kitchen to watch his dish — lamb neck with black-eyed pea salad — get prepared.
Four hours later, the meat came out dripping off the bone, and I was left saddened, thinking about how my next meal will surely pale in comparison.
