This is Skip, the boat captain at McGees - thank you for riding with us! It was a pleasure meeting you, come back anytime. Love your videos!
haha rad!! I definitely will! Thank you
Thank you for visiting our place, Dupuys. We appreciate the advertisement and the support!
Anytime! I'll be back again one day! :)
Born and raised in New Iberia and Abbeville. Currently in Lafayette. You did a good job giving your audience a taste of the area!
Yay! Happy to hear that. Thank you. 😊
Forgot to mention, 50 year rider who has risen all the roads in the state multiple times. Yep, can be bumpy, lol.
James Lee Burke country.
Ain't it great to see a face like that promoting us here in the South ?!?!?!?!
In 2017 my work sent me there for a week of training. As an avid reader of author James Lee Burke I had a basic understanding of what I was getting into. Every chance I got I tried the local food and it was awesome. My most memorable was the étouffée with crawfish.
I live between Baton rouge and New Orleans, around the Gonzales area. Born and raised in the Donaldsonville area. I Love Cajun life style. AWESOME!
From Dville too, living in Colorado now, this video has me homesick , craving boudin lol
Girl!!! This was awesome! As a homegrown Texan myself and motorcycle chick this is gonna be on my list.
You will love that area! SO much great food I didn’t even scratch the surface 🤘
I've never thought about going to Louisiana and now I want to go. That Tobasco Museum alone looks like it's worth the trip! I'm thinking this might be my escape from the winter cold in the northern midwest next winter. Thanks!
That could be a fun getaway for sure!!
From, Scott. Glad you enjoyed our community. Safe travels.
Another great video - love the way you dig into these great ride locations and feature the local cultures
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
I'm glad I watched this while I was eating lunch because otherwise I would be SO hungry right now lol
I'm from South Louisiana and it's a straight up FACT that some of the best food you can get is at a gas station ⚜💪🇺🇲
24 seconds into your video and I’m happy. I knew it would be entertaining, informative and a pleasure to watch.
Yay! Glad you’re enjoying it!
I will not lie to you, my mouth was literally watering! All the food looked AMAZING!
That area of the country is a foodie's paradise! so incredible!
😮 The way to a man's heart 💖 motorcycle🔥ing and food
this isn't a dating site this is a youtube channel
Staci- great video, as usual. Love your work. It's so enjoyable and informative! We love riding in Arkansas, by the way. We were excited to see your partnering with Arkansas tourism bureau and learned a lot from your videos there.
This is so good! It's like a TV show dang!
Thanks chicky!!
That crab cake in Abbeville looked incredible. Got my stomach growling before my first cup of coffee this morning! - Great videos!
It was awesome!! I’d definitely go back lol
As always another great taste of an area I now want to visit! Thanks Staci!
Thanks dude!!
Yey new episode! The only way I can experience the USA from Germany
Come see what the "Evening Skews" will never tell you about! Life here offline is fantastic!
Great video! Had to pause the video to check out ordering boudin! All the food looked wonderful & now am hungry. Cajun food area is on my bucket list! Stay safe.
You’ll love it! That area has so much great food!!
You are the best! I’m sure others have said the same but you enjoy the food without making comments on whether it’s healthy or good for your diet or whatever. Thank you!! That’s awesome! You are enjoying life and sharing it!
I’ve ridden my 2013 T-100 Triumph almost 80k miles from Orange Beach, Alabama, where I live, to W Virginia to Louisiana, well, 15 states doing similar to what you’re doing and love it. This is my new #1 channel! Now, in the video, you’re about to eat ice cream! You go girl!! 🤘🏻😎
Don’t worry, the comments section always tells me about the health aspects 🤣 always funny to me that people assume so much…they see one meal and think that’s all I eat on a daily basis LOL traveling is for TREATS!
Glad you’re enjoying it! Welcome 🤘😎🏍️💨
❤
I'm jealous. We moved north to Arkansas in 1992 and I still miss everything down there.
hopefully you get to visit here and there!
She rides, she eats, she drinks beer, ❤ ❤
👍
As usual, you did such a great job with this video! I’m from Breaux Bridge and I was anxiously waiting for your video, lol!
lol yay! Glad you enjoyed it!
Yep i had to ride Arkansas because you said to funny i have been thinking about Louisiana for a ride this year now here we go
21:38 looks like remoulade. I make my own with mayo, mustard powder (more bite), paprika, dill relish with a bit of brine, creole seasoning, garlic powder, and some Tabasco. However, I'm boring and just put it on a chicken (creole) sandwich. Another great video BTW. Made me super hungry.
BRINE ??? No, sea water! and roasted garlic. Try THAT and ...... ENJOY ! ! !
@@inmyopinion6836 While I would love to try that, I'm in MI. And even though I do call Mi the Louisiana of the north, the lake water just wouldn't be the same. The roasted garlic is a great one though. I will adjust the amounts for that.
Great video👍🏿!! I enjoyed this. Louisiana has a lot of history. Can't go to Louisiana without doing a swamp tour, hitting Bourbon St, having a Popboy and eating crawfish bowl😁. I just let there this past weekend for "JustGKue" event. Stay safe!!💯
Awesome!! Glad you had a great time! 😊
I'll be thinking about that crab cake for good bit, I think. 🦀🍰
lol! It was so good
🍻 decided to play a drinking game during the Boudin section…. Word to the wise: we are fucked up 😂
Keep on keepin on babe! We love you & all your content
HAHAHA! that was a smart choice ;)
Yes you got me to actually buy a tent for my bike and go eat and ride. I'll throw b that little thing up anywhere. I got the Arkansas book from your page. The Ferry ride is one of my favorite rides in Arkansas
I know I told you this in person but, to reiterate, you inspired me to get my bike back on the road. I had Arkansas semi-planned but I used your guide to solidify my visit for sure! You rock socks, babe!
Love this 🖤🤘 thanks again and hope you’re loving riding your bike!!!
That crab cake looked so good! 🤤
I think that you may have taken my picture at least once at the Cajun Country rally. I thought that I recognized you, but I couldn't remember from where. I was also on Friday's Boudin Run, in the second group. For me, it had been about 40 years since I'd had some real boudin (I went to high school in New Orleans, but my family moved back north after I graduated), and the memories came flooding back with the first bite. And, yes, I have to agree that, out of the three stops, T-Boy's was the best. I'd been wanting to get to one of the HOG rallies in Louisiana for a few years, but this was the first time I've been able to make it, along with a small group from the HOG chapter at Doc's H-D in Saint Louis, for the food almost more than the riding. Great video and content - we'll have to see if we can lure you up to Missouri to visit some of our favorite places to ride to, along with our great roads (much better surfaces than in Louisiana, although we found some fun roads to ride there, as well).
I got strong Triple D vibes in this one. Thanks for taking us on a trip to Flavor Town.
Hahaha that area of the country is truly the real Flavor Town USA
Hello, I'm a Texassippiaan living in " The Sip " right now. I know your doppelganger! She is my cousin Carrie! When I first saw you, "Riding the Natchez Trace" I thought you were her. She was you..... whatever. LOL I am so glad to find someone who represents our neck of the woods with such glamor and grace. Thank you, I have liked and subscribed. Looking forward to ALL your future posts! ! !
Thank you!
@@ridetofood Quite welcomed.
You made me homesick, craving boudin now! Thanks lol never got to ride out there, since i recently started riding while living in Colorado. Wishing i could cruise them back cointry roads along the bayou right about now
Love your channel, great ride ideas.....
Thank you!
Another excellent video Staci. You had quite the adventure. I love Louisiana, and NOLA. The history, the culture, the food, the music, it’s all so amazing. Thank you for taking the time to make this such a great recollection of your trip.
Well, now you have to go back for a dessert trip!! Great vid, thanks for the hard work.
Hahaha I like this idea!
👍👍👍👍👍 Another GREAT ONE !!!! Thanks for sharing Staci !!
Thank you!
Hi. Saw you in Jess's Babes Ride Out video. Love motorcycle content that checks out the food across the country. You've earned my subscription!
Yay! Welcome aboard! 🛶🤘
I dont have any idea what it takes to make a video like this , but I am sure it take lots of work. I loved it.
This one entailed some hours of preproduction planning, 3 days of production, and over a week of editing! Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great vid again Staci! Hungry again also. 😉 Keep up the great work! 😊
Thank you!
Very nice.
Rad video, as always. I always appreciate your work. Thank you!!
Thanks Tim!!
I was at the store one time and this family, you could tell they were not from the south, came out on the porch, opened the little sample bottles they give you and they drank them like it was tomato juice. Let the entertainment begin. They were choking and gagging hanging over the porch railing. I just stood their and watched. Yep Yankees.
lol woops!
Great video...We are from New Orleans but honestly, that shrimp Poboy was weak...Not enough shrimp, you should have shrimp falling out of the bread. Yes, there is a major difference in Gulf shrimp. That crab cake and gumbo OMG! 👍 Swamp tours...YES!
They definitely fell out but I hear ya, y’all got the OG ones!!! 🍤🥪 so much good food down there in y’all’s neck of the woods! 😊
❤thank you be safe girl
Thank you Staci. Because of you, I just made an order of Chipotle and Raspberry Chipotle sauce for my trip in Aug to see Amanda. Great content, as always.
😊
Ooooh can you order them online?! Dang!
Always look forward to your videos!!
Yay! Thank you
If I would have known I would have ridden out to meet you. I live in Central LA. Avoyelles parish better know as the Cajun crossroads.
There were numerous posts about me being at the dealership at certain periods of time if anyone wanted to come say hi!
Fun video , love all the history and food!😊
Awesome video.
Love your videos and for some weird reason I'm starving!
haha imagine that!! thank you!
Yay!!! My home! So glad to see you in these parts!
Same!! It was wonderful 😊
Best video yet . Thanks 👍👍
thank you! glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome Ride. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another Awesome Excitement Amazing Beautiful Scenery Awesome food 🍱 mmmmmm so Delicious 😊
I’m in NE TX. We honeymooned in NOLA and visit South LA at least once a year. Our rule is: avoid south Louisiana from April fools day to Halloween. March is the best month to visit.
thats a great rule! lol definitely a tad bit warm down there in the summer
My daughter was in Louisiana for a few years and the food was a regular topic of conversation between us. Here, you smell the roasted chicken when you walk into the grocery. There, she said it was crawdad boil! She loved the variety of great food choices while there. Thanks for sharing.
What a great job! I will be heading south.... Thanks
Awesome!!
So funny you mentioned Arkansas in this video. I just got back from central and northern Arkansas 4 day trip from Lexington Kentucky. I was more than impressed with the roads in Arkansas. we did the "Pig Trail", "Arkansas Dragon" and "Push Mountain Road " they were awesome to ride. Actually route #7 was a great road also took back roads from Mountain Home AR to Paducah Ky and hit some epic roller coaster size hills that were crazy.
awesome!!! stoked you had fun. Arkansas is a bit of a hidden gem
I'll be heading to Louisiana after the in just over two weeks from the Stubborn American Rally. Perfect timing on another great video. Got a few more places to check out now, thanks!
Your video of riding the Great River Road inspired me to ride it too.
Awesome! Did you do the entire road or just the Arkansas section?
Good video thanks for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it!! 🤘
Hahahah that's awesome. I'm glad you liked the Jalepeno flavored ice cream that sounds so interesting, along with all the other foods down there.
Great video, and love your channel! That foods looks fantastic. One day I will visit all those food stops!
Now it’s the time to watch your new video and enjoy a well deserved 🍺 , Friday 07:00pm in Germany now, have a nice weekend 💪
Thanks for the great video 👍👍
Thanks again, Jim!
Adventure! I so enjoy watching your content for the wonderful adventure that you take us on! Thank to so much for continuing the adventures!! You're awesome!
Thank you!
Have to try the raspberry flavor one just went to the TABASCO Factory store and ordered it.
All my favorite spots were missed. Pop's PoBoys, Parish Brewing, Best Stop. Great video though.
Parish was on my list but I didn’t get there. So many snacks so little time!
ALL OF THAT FOOOOOD LOOKS 🔥
Y'all will love it when you get to take a trip down there!!
This was so fun to watch! I am so unfamiliar with the cuisine there - I had never even heard of Boudin! I definitely would like to try that crawfish and the cornbread, that looked really good!
Girl! Miss Staci, first and foremost THANK YOU for sharing! I especially love it when I see Ride to Food pop up on other content publishers because I feel so inspired by your work, where you go and what you do. I've been to many of the areas you share and can only think, dang I missed that place. I don't know you yet as destiny hasn't placed me at the right place at the right time. I have one more US state to ride in so I would very much like to chat with you one day. Mostly because you motivate me and I'm sure many, many others as well. Keep up the good work and if you ever get back to Cochise County AZ I appreciate all the drops you published that showcase Arizona. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Another fantastic video with brutal content. I adore. Kisses from Portugal
Thank you!
This is a great video, thank you for sharing this, still not sure about that hot sauce and ice cream though 😅😅😅 ❤
Haha just try it! 🌶️🍦 and, thank you!!!
Great video as always!! First time I've seen hot sauce on ice cream gonna have to give. It a go. Take care 🤘
haha right?! I dont think i've ever seen or heard of it either!
Another great video!
My Belle is named after that ice cream 😆
Hey! I live in Lafayette!
Your videos are such great quality.
I grew up in Texas and really miss Cajun food. It's the best.
Thank you!! I get it. Cajun food is truly special
The refreshing way you tour and review different places, you make me want to visit all of them. My bucket list is overflowing! As I have said countless times Staci, great job and please keep ‘em coming. Hope you are still in love with your Lowrider ST. Thanks
I love my ST! Thank you, Wayne!
Oh, man! I just got off work and fired up your video and now I want Cajun food! What a great trip, thanks so much for putting in all the hours and hard work! Oh, and thanks for taking all of us along with you! I gotta go now and hop on my bike just to get some food because your videos always leave me hungry and wanting to travel!
Haha glad you enjoyed it!!
That’s awesome! I do the same thing, put the chipotle flavor Tabasco sauce on my eggs in the morning also. Honestly, it’s about the only time I use it.
Haha same!!! Used it this morning actually
@@ridetofood that fruit flavored Tabasco sauce you bought sounds interesting on wings
Great video thank you. Never had crawfish. I guess I got to for a ride.
Haha I love em! They’re kinda a social food. Good to have with a couple of friends with some cold drinks
Like you, I didn't get oysters, over the years I tried them many times,
Until this one time,
At a Japanese restaurant came with the dish, bam! I understood why people love them. Been a fan ever since.
Good morning,Ride- well job.
Thank you!
Thanks for taking us on a trip to eat...
Thanks for coming to work with me for a weekend 🤣🤘
Nice work on the video
Thank you!
Your st looks great with the soft bags
thank ya!
When I took my family to Biloxi we went over to pascagoula and saw some huge gators there it was great.
We also ate a "pizza burger" at Aunt Nita's. We liked them so much we had them like 3 times that week lol
Fantastic video! Will have to visit the tabasco factory when I pass through Louisana. The plan is to ride through the southern states in October/November so hopefully the weather be OK around that time. Thanks Staci!
Awesome!! Hopefully the weather will have cooled down a bit! Thats usually a good time of year
I’ve done the Cajun Rally a couple of times from East Coast Florida. Glad you mentioned the “bumpy” roads. Mississippi’s are about as bad. Btw, I recently subscribed to the Ride Texas printed magazine and can recommend it. I always enjoy your videos.
I used to write for them! 🤘
Typical seafood sauce dip; I usually just mix ketchup and mayo and add Just a touch of mustard. And sometimes I like to put some Tabasco garlic sauce in it.
That how I like it.
If you want to explore more of Louisiana take la hwy 1 from zylks, la to grand isle, la I live in cut off, la 45mins from the end.
I took the 1 the other direction along withsome other roads near the levee and it was pretty great!
Pretty bumpy hahaha!!
im just being honest hahahaha
I spent a month with a friend from the swamps of South LA from the Navy. There is no food like swamp food. I miss it greatly.
Glad you went to Tabasco. I was real interested in that.
After your series on Arkansas I went down there and motorcycle camped for two weeks. Hit a bunch of the sites you featured. Whenever possible I mentioned that I was only there because of your series. Queen Wilhelmina!
Love it!!!
Took the wife and kids to Mena last year because of one of your videos. We LOVED the ouachitas (pizza place) you recommended.
awesome!!! glad to hear it. that little coffee shop / pizza place is pretty cool!
Man wish I wasn't allergic to shell fish, damn good video!
Sister lives n Colfax…lots of familiar places…
Nice!
