"It’s not technically a dining destination, but this halal meat market and international food store in Kenner has been essential to the area’s Muslim community since Nabil Kased opened it in 2004. It’s a reliable shop for chocolates, cheeses, pickles, and other specialty — and celebratory — items, and the store’s halal butcher counter sells freshly cut beef, lamb, and goat, most of which come from farmers in South Louisiana and Mississippi." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono
