"Chef Justin Devillier earned the 2016 award for Best Chef: South for La Petite Grocery, where he’d taken a job as a line cook in 2004. He and his wife Mia bought the restaurant, set in a historic Creole cottage, in 2010. A few of the chef’s stellar dishes include turtle Bolognese, panéed rabbit, and blue crab beignets. The couple also own Justine in the French Quarter." - Beth D'Addono
