"Chef Dominick Lee, a New Orleans native, has been previewing the flavor profile of his upcoming restaurant through collaborations around town; highlights included a pork muffuletta punctuated with crispy cracklin’ bits, a nostalgic okra stew finished with a hypnotic crown of fried okra, and a standout crab bisque balanced with black garlic sambal, heirloom tomatoes and peppers, hand-rolled fregola, and a dash of dill — a comforting, spicy-warm soup ideal for fall. Take-home bags of beignets also held up well and remained fresh the next day." - Brittany Britto Garley
