It’s Carnival time and King Cake is probably the third most popular topic in New Orleans behind The Superbowl and the parade schedule. Everyone has a favorite King Cake, be it traditional or filled, baby or babyless (blasphemy!), with little icing or deeply slathered. Well, ya know, the best is from Gambino’s, Haydels’, Antoines’, Frances’, Rouses, the old McKenzie’s (now available at Tastee Donuts locations locally) and, of course, Randazzo’s…..to name a few.

Chances are that not every New Orleanian has actually tasted King Cake from every bakery in the city which means there is cinnamon-laced deliciousness yet to be discovered. But guess what? You can taste cakes from all over the city on one night in one place, thanks to NOLA Eats.com.

So if you’re in the quarter (or even if you’re not) be sure to stop by and take advantage of having so many of New Orleans’ fine King Cakes just waiting to pass between your lips with a healthy swig of whatever your preferred libation may be.
