Get a Taste of the Rock & Roll Lifestyle at Jazz Fest with this Food Vendor sporting a Rolling Stones shirt | Discover the Best Eats in NOLA
Welcome to Music Nation 365, your go-to source for all things music-related! Today, we are thrilled to share some exciting updates from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival concerning the legendary Rolling Stones.
This year marks the third time the Rolling Stones have been slated to perform at the prestigious festival, and fans are keeping their fingers crossed that it will finally become a reality after two previous cancellations. Amidst this anticipation, one food vendor has been channeling their Stones spirit through a delectable dish that has become a must-try at Jazz Fest.
Patton’s Caterers, a Slidell-based operation, has been serving up a mouthwatering combo plate that consists of a crawfish sack, oyster patty, and savory beignets. This year, the beignets are filled with shrimp, adding a new twist to this beloved dish.
Years ago, when news broke that the Rolling Stones would be headlining Jazz Fest in 2019, Patton’s created special T-shirts for their team, featuring a crawfish sack placed on the band’s iconic lips logo. The shirts were inscribed with a clever message that resonated deeply after the Stones had to cancel their appearance due to Mick Jagger’s health issues. Despite the setback, Patton’s crew proudly wore the shirts in 2019, garnering requests from festival-goers who wanted to purchase them as souvenirs.
Now, as Jazz Fest kicks off in a unique format centered around the Stones’ impending performance, Patton’s has brought out the T-shirts once again, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event. Amongst all the changes, one thing remains constant – the unforgettable combo platter that has captured the hearts (and taste buds) of festival attendees.
The standout dish features a crispy crawfish sack filled with seasoned goodness, oyster patties encased in vol-au-vent pastry shells, and fluffy fried shrimp beignets. Whether or not the Stones indulge in a crawfish sack themselves, one thing is for certain – you deserve to savor this delectable delight! Head over to Food Area 1 to grab a plate of this epic combo and experience a taste of Jazz Fest like never before.
