I am a New Orleanian. If you want pralines, Southerncandymakers.com. We don't really do king cake outside of Mardi Gras. It's just. NOT. done.
For an authentic New Orleans party, you would have seafood. But, it can be hard to have a crawfish boil outside of Louisiana. Texas doesn't do them right, even though they will say they do. I speak the truth. You can do shrimp and boil them in Zatarain's spice mix. Add lemons.
Red Beans and Rice, but you serve them in separate dishes, they aren't mixed until people make their plates. Also, gumbo. But, if you can't make a roux then you should get it from gumboshop.com.
Zapp's potato chips. 1-800-hotchip
You must have either tabasco or Louisiana hot sauce on the table for people to add to their beans and gumbo as they wish.
French bread.
Popeyes chicken and biscuits.
Mufalettas are good. If you can make them minis use a little slider sized bun but it has to be an Italian bread not a hamburger bun. Get your olive salad from centralgrocerynola.com
Smoothie king started in NOLA, so I always recommend smoothies at a party for kids.
Hope his helps!
