We set our soulful sights on the swamp boogie of Ernie Vincent and the Top Notes, followed by some Brother Tyrone and the Mindbenders — all recorded live at the 2009 Crescent City Blues and BBQ Festival in mid-October. The culinary crossroads continues its tasty travels by way of the Boucherie, a restaurant in uptown New Orleans that balances smoked meats and seafood with pickled vegetables. In the second half, we stop downtown for a history lesson on the Treme, one of New Orleans' oldest neighborhoods. Event: Treme Creole Gumbo Festival
