In Louisiana, a steak can land on your table still crackling in a plate of hot butter. That style dates back to the 1930s, and I’m choosing to be very excited about it. Am I making too big a deal out of this? Possibly. But the butter is only one chapter.

Prime Rib Takes Center Stage At This Louisiana Sunday Brunch Buffet

A carving station serving prime rib sits right in the middle of a Sunday brunch buffet. That alone got my attention. The same spread also offers buttermilk waffles, crawfish fettuccine, and grillades. I like how breakfast and Sunday supper share one long table here. Nobody has to pick a lane.

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