"For more than 40 years, chef Susan Spicer has helped shape the local dining scene, pioneering new possibilities in the New Orleans kitchen. She opened as a partner in Bayona in 1990, earning the Best Chef, South award for her global approach to challenging the long-held definition of New Orleans cuisine in 1993. In May 2010, Spicer was inducted into the James Beard Who’s Who of Food and Beverage in America. Her influence on Bayona is ever present, although she’s most often found cooking on the line at her Mid-City gem, Rosedale." - Beth D'Addono
