Just booked the NOLA Carte Food Tour for my sister's birthday, any tips?

I’m really excited! We’re going in September. I heard Chef Keith is super knowledgeable and the food is amazing. I’m hoping to try the gumbo and beignets! Any must-know tips for first-timers?

Can anyone share their experience on the NOLA Carte Food Tour?

I’m thinking of gifting this tour to my parents for their anniversary. They love food but they’re fussy eaters. Is it diverse enough? I want them to enjoy it! Any feedback would be awesome.
