There is no greater place to experience the most diverse food, music, culture, and history in the United States than along the Gulf Coast. For those of us in the New Orleans Metro Area, that just means filling the tank with gas and hitting the roads for a drive along our scenic highways and byways to explore these fun and historical attractions.

Come along with Great Day Louisiana and our Host Malik Mingo as we explore One Tank Trips!

Host Malik Mingo will give viewers a first-hand look at the local activities, attractions, people, and of course – FOOD – in the Mobile area that make it so special to visit. From taking a walk through Mobile's vibrant downtown to exploring the delectable culinary scene, Malik will give viewers in the New Orleans area all the reasons why they should take a One Tank Trip!
