Taste New Orleans History at These Classic Creole Restaurants

"Prize pupil of legendary chef Paul Prudhomme, Frank Brigtsen, opened this namesake restaurant in a cozy Riverbend shotgun with his wife, Marna, in 1986. Since then, Brigtsen has become one of the most respected chefs in New Orleans with his modern but familiar Creole cuisine, like New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp with calas, a once nearly extinct fried rice ball that street vendors used to sell near the French Market and at Congo Square." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
