FRIDAY NIGHT: BEHIND THE SCENES WITH "THE SPLENDID TABLE." The festival kicks off Friday night with a special event in the Grand Ballroom of the Royal Sonesta Hotel in the heart of the French Quarter. Public Radio's award-winning weekly food show, "The Splendid Table," will be on stage live hosted by WWNO's Poppy Tooker with the show's star, Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Roadfood creators Jane & Michael Stern, and a host of notable chefs who are bringing their good food to the festival. A limited number of tickets will be available soon.

Welcome to the 2012 version of the New Orleans Roadfood Festival web site. We are already hard at work planning next year’s event, which will be bigger and better than ever. In order to accommodate the rapidly growing attendance (40,000 eaters in 2011), we are planning to relocate the festival near the French Market which gives us more open space. Of course we plan on filling the space with more smoked BBQ pits and other tasty treats. We look forward to seeing everyone again, and remember to book your flights while the rates are still low.
