Fat Man's Observation - King Cakes from Costco are good...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
So is their $1.50 slice of pizza. Heck, me and my son visit Costco on a Saturday around 1100 just to get a free lunch from all the samples. “Microsoft is down 3 points” -name that movie
Dong Phuong. If you have one you won't want another. Although manny Randazzos and camellia city Randazzos are close. Dough nguyener's and hi do are also on my list now over on the west bank. Tried those recently.
Paul’s pastries in Picayune makes my favorite king cake
The same folks who boil bugs also think king cake is good. I'm shocked. **
I get on the waitlist every time and never get one.
Im not touching a cream cheese king cake made by a Dong
Dong is overrated. Not terrible but not the best. People hype them up just because hard to get.
Agreed, friend brought us a dong phung back a couple weeks ago. Strawberry is all they had left, so probably their least sold flavor. Was superb.
On topic though, the Costco cakes are very good for being a big box attempt.
I'll have to try it, sometimes rouses can have a good one depending on their bakery. We have a saying though, friends don't let friends eat Walmart king cake. It's usually taboo around here to get a big box king cake. Too many good bakeries especially French style bakeries within easy driving distance. On top of that the Vietnamese bakeries seem to be my favorite.
Imma come on out with this take.......no offense to you Catholic guys, I respect your religion. But.....
I just ain't a fan of Mardi Gras, king cakes, New Orleans, etc. I'm not an anti-alcohol Baptist - I'm actually 2 steps from being a full fledged alcoholic myself, and I would really like weed to be legal, etc. And I like to party. I just don't get into whatever Mardi Gras is.
Am I the weird one?

Never been to Mardi Gras huh?
Raised southern baptist, now Catholic. I hated king cakes growing up. Still don’t like most of them because they have WAY too much sugar and frosting. That’s why I like the Paul’s pastries ones.
Where did you go and what did you do? Mardigras is more than just crowds in the quarter or downtown.part of the culture in between parades and other events. I would recommend checking out parades outside of downtown and looking into other events surrounding. It's kind of like going to games at the dude. Some folks don't really get the lounge but different experiences depending on what you do. Those just going and sitting at the game in the stands or berm not getting same experience.
Not Catholic but I’m all in on any occasion that encourages Mrs Bite to flash the puppies !
Yep. We went with a few families a few years back and stayed in the Garden District and it was awesome. Never graced the quarter.
