New Orleans is one of the liveliest, most culinary diverse cities in the United States.
So, when Derek Carr visited the town to meet with the New Orleans Saints about signing with the franchise, he and his wife checked out the food scene. They didn’t end up at the popular establishments like Cafe Du Monde or Commander’s Palace. Instead, on their first trip to New Orleans, the two stopped into a local Chipotle.
“What are we doing?” Carr joked about the situation, per ESPN’s Katherine Terrell.
Derek Carr said the first place he and his wife went to in New Orleans was Chipotle because they didn’t know where else to go and they were laughing at themselves for it. “What are we doing?”

At a destination famous for gumbo, crawfish etouffee, jambalaya, po-boys and beignets (the list goes on), the Carrs opted to stick to what they know.
“They literally could have better food by getting a po-boy at a gas station!” one fan said.
“They don’t have Google?” one fan asked of Carr’s dining experience.
Carr’s Chipotle order is unknown, but fans are arguing it couldn’t be better than New Orleans’ offerings.
“Juan’s>Izzo’s>Felipe’s>nachos made with cheese wiz and nabisco crackers>Chipotle,” one fan said.
“He could’ve went to any local restaurant in the French Quarter,” a fan said.
Carr agreed to a four-year, $150 million deal with the Saints on March 6. In 2022, Carr completed 60.8 percent of passes for 3,522 yards and 24 touchdowns but 14 interceptions, signaling his lowest completion rate since his rookie season and a tie of his 2021 career-high in interceptions.
“I guess his bad decision making on the field translates to off the field as well,” another said.
Carr is the Las Vegas Raiders’ all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns. In 142 career starts, Carr completed 64.6 percent of throws for 35,222 yards, 217 touchdowns and 99 interceptions.
New Orleans went 16–18 over the past two seasons and missed the playoffs both years. If Carr can lead the team to the postseason, perhaps fans can overlook his introductory meal in the city.
