Drew Brees -- The Best Food in N'awlins Is ... (VIDEO)

He's been a god in New Orleans for 10 years ... so, we had to ask Drew Brees -- what's the BEST thing to eat in all of the Big Easy?!!?

FYI, New Orleans routinely ranks as one of the best food cities in the U.S -- so there's A LOT to choose from.

But there was only place in mind for the Saints QB -- Ye Olde College Inn ... specifically, the chicken fried steak po-boy.

Look. At. This. Deliciousness.

BTW, Brees also talked about his friendship with Brad Pitt ... and explains the backstory behind the famous video of Brad tossing beers back to Matt McConaughey in New Orleans a few years ago.
