Simpsons New Orleans episode

[PeteRasche]

After slamming the city back in the show's infancy in the early 90s (and subsequently apologizing via Bart on the chalkboard of the following episode's opening song), then doing a Mardi Gras visit in the late 90s, this past weekend they did another trip which was basically an homage to the food and music. Included was a montage of Homer eating his way through the city. See the full list here:

Bonus: if you dislike Gators, they opened with a couple of minutes of relentlessly slamming Gainesville...

Fantastic episode all around.

The next time a newbie asks me where and what to eat in New Orleans, I’ll use that list!

New Or-le-ans,
Home of pirates, drunks, and wh0res,
New Or-le-ans,
Tacky overpriced souvenir stores.
If you want to go to He11, you should take a trip
To the Sodom and Gomorra on the Mississipi.
New Or-le-ans,
Stinky, rotten, vomiting, vile,
New Or-le-ans,
Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul.
New Or-le-ans,
Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank,
New Or-le-ans.

hence the reason for the apology

I hope you had to look that up and don't have it committed to memory almost 30 years later!

I remember watching that with my teammates in our Aron apartment (we had watching get-togethers on Thursday nights back in those days). We were all sorta shocked at how mean it was toward New Orleans (though with only one of us being a native we just laughed)... I also remember how a few weeks later after apparently some outcry (this was pre-internet so we didn't have a way to hear about it), the opening credits had Bart writing "I will not defame New Orleans" (just checked and this is described in the wiki story linked above).

I actually attempted it from the top of my head but couldn't remember what came after stinking rotten vomiting vile, so cut and paste

Knowing they could have gotten a king cake if they wanted it, but I like the authenticity of “out of season”
