Where to Find New Orleans’s Most Iconic Dishes

"Considered by many to be one of the best fried chicken offerings in the country, this Treme landmark’s Coke-based brine and wet-batter recipe sets it apart from nearly every other fried chicken in town — it results in a dark brown crust that coats peppery, juicy pieces of chicken. NOTE: Willie Mae’s is currently closed due to a fire, but in the meantime, stop by McHardy’s, Ll’ Dizzy’s, or Fiorella’s." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
