"Willie Mae’s Scotch House, located at 2401 St Ann Street in Treme, is renowned for its fried chicken, considered some of the best in America. It was initially opened as a bar in 1957 by Willie Mae Seaton, who gained a reputation for the food she served. The restaurant was named one of America’s Classics by the James Beard Award Foundation in 2005. Currently closed due to fire damage, it remains a cultural and culinary institution in New Orleans." - Clair Lorell
