In a split-screen video well-worth watching, the intrepid travelers, Janine Wiget and Katrin von Niederhäusern, recreate the delicious food tour that Homer and Lisa took during [a 2018 NOLA-themed episode](https://www.eater.com/2018/4/23/17270328/homer-simpson-new-orleans-restaurants) of the beloved show. According to an interview with [_The Advocate_](https://www.theadvocate.com/gambit/new%5Forleans/news/the%5Flatest/article%5F29dcabae-c9c2-11e9-85e0-1bd8bd8880d6.html), the travelers visited all 54 real-life restaurants visited by Homer Simpson in the episode, over the course of a week, during which they painstakingly recreated his antics along this restaurant trail, frame by fame, ordering the same dishes along the way — ranging from a crawfish feast to oysters and a po’ boy. “When we saw this episode, we looked at each other and we knew that we were going to recreate the scene,” Wiget said. “We actually came up with the idea both together, like it’s clear that we need to do it because we both love the Simpsons and we love the city so much.” Watch Wiget and von Niederhäusern eat their way through New Orleans, Simpson-style below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5665311/tourists-recreate-homer-simpson-new-orleans-food-tour/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5665311/tourists-recreate-homer-simpson-new-orleans-food-tour/"},"headline":"Avid Travelers Painstakingly Recreated Homer Simpson's Entire Food Tour of New Orleans","datePublished":"2019-08-30T14:32:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:00:07.001Z","description":"So much food, so little time","url":"https://time.com/5665311/tourists-recreate-homer-simpson-new-orleans-food-tour/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt56c3e2a00cdb8437/698a0229db2987107f264146/swiss-tourists-recreate-homer-simpson-new-orleans-food-tour.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt56c3e2a00cdb8437/698a0229db2987107f264146/swiss-tourists-recreate-homer-simpson-new-orleans-food-tour.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"New Orleans Lets The Good Times Roll At Mardi Gras Celebration","caption":"New Orleans Lets The Good Times Roll At Mardi Gras Celebration","creditText":"Jonathan Bachman—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5665311/tourists-recreate-homer-simpson-new-orleans-food-tour/","name":"Avid Travelers Painstakingly Recreated Homer Simpson's Entire Food Tour of New Orleans"}}]}] ```
