12 Best Brunches in New Orleans
"Eleven different spirits—including house-infused cucumber gin and a vibrant roasted garlic and herb vodka—are available as part of Atchafalaya’s infamous Bloody Mary bar, setting the stage for a raucous atmosphere in NOLA's Irish Channel neighborhood every morning from Thursday through Monday. The iconic cocktail also makes a guest appearance in the Fried Gulf Oyster Benedict, braising some greens alongside cornbread stuffing, poached eggs, and a brown butter hollandaise. Contemporary riffs on New Orleans classics are kind of the rule here, actually, right down to such remarkable appetizers as a strawberry and satsuma salad with arugula, black quinoa, and a balsamic mint dressing; fried green tomatoes with buttered Louisiana crab, and baby greens; and a rich duck and andouille gumbo prepared with buttered popcorn rice." - Andrew Parks
