Loving Barq's

It goes with everything in New Orleans. But of course there is a conflicting story. Here goes...Barq's was founded in 1890 in the French Quarter by The Barq's Brothers Bottling Company....Edward and Gaston. I think the conflict starts here...Edward moved to Biloxi Mississippi in 1897 and opened the "Biloxi Artesian Bottling Works". Some say Barq's is New Orlean's and some say it is Biloxi's.

I found someone who has been blogging about Barq's for over 2 years....the site has been retired but it is kinda neat to read. The site address is "Barq's-The blog with BITE!" This blog states it is all Biloxi's own....I think I should ask...."Blake Pontchartrain"... just the sort of question we can wonder about! Loving Barq's no matter where it comes from!
