Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Going Places is a series of whirlwind jaunts to some of the world's most popular vacation spots-London, Las Vegas, New Orleans, the Caribbean, the American "wild west", the Black Hills, Tuscany and Sydney. Hosted by Al Roker, each installment invites viewers to tag along to one of the different, exciting locales, where every aspect of the place is explored and sampled. From culture and history, to shopping and dining, to recreation and sightseeing, no famous highlight is overlooked, and several lesser known gems are joyfully uncovered.

New Orleans

Best known for the elaborate floats and colorful beads of Mardi Gras, the Big Easy beckons visitors from around the globe to delight in its intrigues. This episode of Going Places samples some of the best restaurants in the world, giving the inside scoop on the real difference between Cajun and Creole cooking, as National Public Radio commentator Vertamae Grosvenor tours the kitchens of New Orleans' most popular eateries. Additionally, viewers will attend an authentic New Orleans "jazz funeral" at the historic Lafayette Cemetery, join in the raunchy fun on Bourbon Street, stroll through the genteel Garden District and accompany "Alligator Annie" on an alligator hunt in southern Louisiana's perilous swamps.
