This Louisiana Marina-Side Restaurant Serves Seafood And A Leisurely Weekend Brunch

Crabcakes Benedict and Italian zeppole share the same brunch menu here, and sailboats bob in the marina next door. That pairing alone had me hooked. I like a place that mixes Gulf seafood with Sicilian roots and doesn’t apologize for it. The kitchen leans Coastal Italian, with Creole Italian...

These Louisiana Breakfast Taverns And Neighborhood Cafes Keep Morning Traditions Alive

One Louisiana diner cooks its burgers under hubcaps, and it has been feeding night owls and early birds since 1939. That detail alone had me hooked. Another breakfast counter in the state opened in 1946 and still seats guests at a long counter. A cafe near a big college campus has served students since 1941. One family biscuit recipe has now passed through three generations. I love how stubborn these places are about the good stuff.

Taste The Brisket And Pork Belly Burnt Ends That Draw Lines Outside This Luling, Louisiana Smokehouse

Some barbecue joints hope for a crowd. This one in Luling, Louisiana, gets a line before the doors even unlock. The smokehouse sells its full barbecue spread only a few hours a week, and people still show up from Texas, Seattle, and the Chicago area to wait their turn. The two names on everyone’s lips are prime brisket and pork belly burnt ends, and both have a habit of selling out before closing time.

Florestine Perrault Collins Passed for White to Learn the Trade, Then Ran a Black Portrait Studio in New Orleans for Twenty-Nine Years

Florestine Perrault was fourteen when she started earning money in photography, hired as a clerk, photo finisher, stationery embosser, and developer by white-owned studios in New Orleans and by the Eastman Kodak Company. She got that work by letting her employers assume she was white. She was Creole of color, and in Jim Crow New Orleans, that fact would have kept her away from the picture-making end of the business.
