"With Chef Hayley Vanvleet’s lighter, West Coast approach to New Orleans dishes, I recommend the candied, fried pork ribs for their crispy, indulgent exterior that yields to off-the-bone goodness, and I also applaud the roast duck, black-eyed-pea gumbo, redfish, a hearty braised short rib that’s delicious on a cold evening, and mussels in a coconut-ginger broth." - Stephanie Carter
