"Emeril Lagasse has a new restaurant downtown in New Orleans’s soon-to-be Caesars Casino, marking the celebrity chef’s first foray into French food. The elegant space serves dishes synonymous with a splurge, like a seafood tower, along with classic brasserie staples like French onion soup, tarte flambée, and steak frites au poivre. Beginning December 23 it opens for brunch on Saturday and Sunday (and Mondays during the holidays only), beginning at 10 a.m." - Eater Staff
