Who do yall think has the best King Cakes? I had one at my folks' New Years party from Gambinos and it was damn good. Mandeville Bake Shop has always made a very good one. I've been out of the city for almost three years and I know I'm not current. Who's your favorite?

Hi Ho (?) bakery on Terry Parkway. No contest, IMO.

Feel free to bring me one when you come by.

Cajun Pecan House in Cut Off, La. Filled with tons of pecans.

Granted..we're not from here and haven't tried all of them..but we enjoy Haydel's

Haydels cream cheese filled.

Manny Randazzos is better sometimes, but they sell out so quick during mardi gras that it is hard to get one.

I'm a Randazzo's fan myself.

Passed there tonight during my quest for boiled crabs...it's Hi-Do.

Heard this morning that a Randazzo's outfit (I believe the ex-wife) will be selling out of Sal's Snowball stand on Metairie Rd. That is all but 3 blocks from me. Uh oh!

Please don't fill my king cakes with anything. Terrible.
