Where to Eat the Best Hot Plates in New Orleans

"Chef Marlon “Chicken” William has lines out the door Monday through Friday, from 10:30 a.m. until the Gretna hot spot sells out. A James Beard Award semifinalist and perhaps the best hot plate restaurant in the area, Chicken’s Kitchen offers daily specials with a main, a large side (like five-star mac or red beans), and two small sides, which can include sweet peas, cornbread, and potato salad. Fried chicken is the house special, but there’s lasagna, roast chicken, and braised beef too." - Beth D'Addono
