"Located in the New Orleans Warehouse District among condos populated by well-heeled young professionals and retirees, this sleek homage to Cajun and Southern food keeps its reservation books full with wood-fired oysters, fried alligator, and gumbo. It isn’t a barbecue restaurant, but it serves a superb smoked and braised barbecue brisket with deviled egg potato salad, and Louisiana cochon. Head around the corner to sister restaurant Cochon Butcher for a fine representation of a North Carolina pulled pork sandwich." - Stephanie Carter
