"This Third Ward cafe and market from chef Chris Williams adds some soul to the average burger with its $18 oxtail smash burger. This 6-ounce juicy patty fuses beef and shredded oxtail and is topped with arugula, provolone, garlic aioli, pickled onions, and tomato jam on a sweet brioche bun. Pair with included sides like fries, potato salad, greens, or the decadent mac and cheese, and a beer or glass of wine for an all-star meal. Pro-tip: Diners can shop Radot’s indoor market, which features condiments, desserts, and other food products made by Third Ward residents and natives, in addition to a wine collection curated by community members. Build a perfect basket for dining al fresco (Emancipation Park is just across the street) and choose from William’s home collection of cookbooks for a springtime read." - Brittany Britto Garley
