"Atchafalaya is famous for its brunch, which includes a rotating menu of creative bloody marys like the Good Morning, Vietnam, layered with bold Southeast Asian flavors. Chef Chris Lynch spotlights what may be the best shrimp and grits in town at both brunch and dinner, shrimpy goodness powered by andouille, the trinity, and smoked tomatoes. The char on the head-on shrimp is another burst of savory, smoky flavor. Open Thursday through Friday, Atchafalaya features live music for Saturday and Sunday brunch." - Beth D'Addono
