38 Essential Restaurants in New Orleans

"It’s always a treat to see what chef and owner Marlon “Chicken” Williams is cooking up at his uber-popular lunch plate spot in Gretna, where New Orleans favorites like smothered okra, stuffed catfish, stuffed pepper balls, and smothered turkey necks rotate daily. It’s incredible, really, just how many specialties Williams serves and excels at — both mains and sides — so it’s no surprise that the sunny Derbigny Street restaurant has grown into the West Bank’s favorite place to run into friends and enjoy homestyle cooking at its best. Be prepared for a (fast-moving) line during peak lunchtime hours." - Clair Lorell
