The sidewalks of the French Quarter hum with a particular kind of energy: brass from a distant second-line, the scent of caramelized onions, and the quick footfall of small groups moving between doorways. On a vegan food tour here, that energy becomes a guide — you follow flavors where the neighborhood points the way, tasting reinterpretations of gumbo, po’ boys, and pralines that honor local technique without animal products.
