Greetings, New Orleans food fans! This week, we begin with our updated beer lovers' guide to breweries and taprooms around New Orleans. August Coolinary deals offer an incentive to try new restaurants and revisit old favorites. A tiny distillery carves out a space near railroad tracks and an overpass, and PrimoHoagies is the latest addition to the Italian sub lineup here. We learn the family history behind a River Road produce stand. And Liz Williams has recipes for the perfect picnic with grilled tuna, macaroni salad and parfait in a jar. 1. The beer is here! The craft brewing scene in New Orleans is always changing. We've updated our guide to breweries and taprooms, including what's new and what's gone. 2. Coolinary capers? Lunches for $25, dinners for $50? For those who've been waiting to try a new restaurant or are just eager to go back to an old favorite, the August restaurant promotion Coolinary has plenty to offer. 3. Wait! There's more. Ian McNulty found the pint-sized distillery Borasso Spirits tucked under North Claiborne Avenue. PrimoHoagies brings (yet more) Italian subs to New Orleans. And Christina Ferrari talks with Dewitt Burns, whose roots as a roadside fruit and vegetable vendor go back to his grandparents in New Orleans. 4. Picnic basket cases. Dining al fresco? Liz Williams helps us elevate that experience with grilled tuna, a macaroni salad and a clever parfait layered into a jar. Get the recipes here. That's it for the food newsletter, but in New Orleans, the food news never stops. Keep up with all the inside info at Where NOLA Eats. P.S.: Want to support local journalism that matters?
