Chef Paul Prudhomme's restaurant has been a wellspring of creativity and inspiration for Cajun and Creole cooking for most of forty years. He fired up everybody up at a time when there was a lot of...
Unusual cuts of excellent beef coax real fire out of the grill, searing the outside and making the inside near to bursting with juices. The sauces are not what you're used to, either, with many ref...
It's the quintessential French bistro, environmentally and culinarily. The goodness of the cooking and the underpricing of the menu has always kept the sixty or so seats full, while hopeful diners ...

A Creole bistro, a shade upscale, Nathan's is defined to a large extent by its location: a second-story aerie overlooking Bayou Bonfouca. The menu is dominated by seafood, and has enough original, ...

NOLA is Emeril Lagasse's most casual restaurant, at least in New Orleans. In recent years it's evolved into Emeril's Greatest Hits Cafe. There's nothing wrong with that, and it likely appeals treme...
