Did someone say food?

That's what visiting Louisiana is all about.

Honestly the food is incredible in St. Tammany Parish.

It's one of the stops for my new travel series Brandy Yanchyk Sees the World. I travel to Pat's Rest Awhile in Mandeville which is known as the The Northshore. It's about an hour from New Orleans.

I visited with chef and restaurant owner Pat Gallagher. He is an icon in the restaurant industry and we got to eat in the restaurant's restored cottage from the 1850s.

My new travel documentary series "Brandy Yanchyk Sees the World" will be airing on public TV stations in the USA including PBS.

Recently we filmed on the Tammany Trace in St. Tammany Parish in Louisiana. It was so much fun. The area is also known as The Northshore and is about an hour from New Orleans.

You'll be able to find out about the fun we had in my new travel documentary series Brandy Yanchyk Sees the World.
It will be airing on public TV stations in the USA including PBS.

"Originally a corridor for the Illinois Central Railroad, the Tammany Trace is now a hike and bike trail that spans from downtown Covington, through Abita Springs, Mandeville and Lacombe and ends in Slidell. A separate equestrian path parallels the Trace in several places. St. Tammany Parish government purchased the abandoned Illinois Central Railroad corridor on December 20, 1992. With the help of grants and federal dollars, St. Tammany Parish government has asphalted 31 miles, remodeled railroad trestles into pedestrian bridges, and maintained the Trace." - http://www.tammanytrace.org

The highlight of my recent trip to Louisiana was filming at the Dew Drop Social and Benevolent Hall in what is now Old Mandeville.

This place is famous! It is believed to be the world's oldest unaltered rural jazz hall. Early greats Buddy Petit, Kid Ory and a young Louis Armstrong played there.

I was thrilled to film with Grammy award winning New Orleans musician, actor and author Chris Thomas King.
He's said to be "one of the worlds greatest blues guitar players." Chris also was in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? and played a character named Tommy Johnson who describes selling his soul to the devil to play guitar.

I also learned so much from Andrea Fulton who is part of the Friends of the Dew Drop organization.

You'll be able to hear Chris' music and learn all about the rich history of the Dew Drop in my new travel documentary series Brandy Yanchyk Sees the World. It will be airing on public TV stations in the USA including PBS.

While I'm traveling I love learning about the Indigenous people who live in the places I am visiting.

Recently I filmed at the Bayou Lacombe Museum in Lacombe, Louisiana. I met Karen Raymond and Anthony Lott who are both from the Choctaw Nation in Lacombe.

My experience there will be part of my new travel documentary series Brandy Yanchyk Sees the World which will be airing on public TV stations in the USA including PBS.

The Bayou Lacombe Museum is in St. Tammany Paris which is also known as the Northshore. It’s about an hour away from New Orleans.

Here’s a link to the museum: https://bayoulacombemuseum.com/about
