Cafe du Monde’s Japanese Connection

Everyone who visits New Orleans is aware of the original Cafe du Monde at the French Market in the Vieux Carré . It’s not possible to fly out of Louis Armstrong International unless a gate agent certifies that your shirt is covered with powdered sugar. There are seven branches scattered in and about NOLA, and they’re fine in a beignet emergency. However, the original is the most fun.
