Deliciously Spooky
It’s not quite spooky season yet, but for those that love a fun fright, head on over to Gris-Gris and pick up one of these skull puff pastries to go. Fillings change each week, with a recent selection featuring pastries stuffed with roast beef, caramelized onion and cheddar on the menu.
And if you’re really getting in the mood, check out our not-too-spooky podcast Beyond the Grave for some ghostly New Orleans history. Like, subscribe and stay tuned for Season 2 this October! Available here and or wherever you get your podcasts.
