A Guide to New Orleans’s James Beard Award-Winning Restaurants | Eater New Orleans
"Frank Brigtsen is an iconic New Orleans gentleman chef, an inventive Creole cook who apprenticed under chef Paul Prudhomme. He and his wife Marna opened Brigsten’s in 1986 in a homey Victorian cottage in the Riverbend, a remarkable and original restaurant that continues to thrive. The chef’s accolades are too many to mention (he was a Best Chef, South winner in 1998), but his cooking is the real prize." - Beth D’Addono
