I'm traveling to New Orleans for the first time, and it's for work to attend the AACR conference. I'll be at the convention center most of the time. Does anyone recommend a can't miss non touristy restaurant that I should put on my bucket list?
I've been to NOLA a few times and always hit a few places. For dang good food, I go to Cochon's, http://www.cochonrestaurant.com/ . Or Cochon Butcher for lunch. Very authentic Creole food and consistent goodness. Try the pork cheeks.
If you happen to be driving in from the west, there are even more places to check out for Boudin, Cracklins, and other specialty meats . Exit 97 from I-10 is where to stop.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations! I had lunch at Mother's yesterday. Great scene. I enjoyed a combination platter, and the best part was the sausage they used in the Jambalaya. Had dinner on Bourbon St at the coronet. I'm looking forward to trying more places.
Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!
Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...
I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.
Also, stop by Central Grocery on Decatur, not far from Cafe DuMonde. It's super fun Italian little market, and the muffuletta is SuperRockin. I always get a whole extra or two and bring them home, if I can refrigerate.
