Along with the delicacies that will be served at Sunken Garden Theater, New Orleans rapper Big Freedia will take the stage Friday at 9 p.m.
Brothers Anthony Bussey and Nika Williams work together to set up their turkey leg food station ahead of the A Taste of New Orleans Fiesta event at the Sunken Garden Theater on Thursday. They use a guarded family recipe to make their turkey legs and usually sell out every year.
This year, Big Freedia, a popular rapper known for her work in the New Orleans genre of hip hop called The Zulu Association connected with New Orleans members and friends to land Big Freedia to perform for Fiesta in San Antonio. The goal is to attract a younger crowd to A Taste of New Orleans, said Terrell Brown, marketing chairman for the San Antonio Zulu Association.
Brown said that especially after COVID, many vendors decided to swap from brick-and-mortar restaurants to attending vendor events. Even with 15 cases of sausage, each of which holds over 30 pounds of sausage, plus 250 cases of their best-selling turkey legs, Bussey said their booth may still run out.The Bussey family has worked A Taste of New Orleans every year since it began, they said. Being a family business, almost everyone pitches in. The key to selling out? The sauces and marinades, which are made with secret family recipes, Bussey said.
His favorite part of A Taste of New Orleans is seeing everyone come together and dance in the “second line” that always forms. A second line is the New Orleans tradition of regular folks lining up behind the band, or the main line, in a parade. “We always tell people, ‘if you’re coming, be sure you bring the stretchy pants,'” Brown said. “The food at this event is memorable, to say the least. … If you’re a foodie, this is where you got to meet, even if just to taste something.”
