16 Restaurants Worth a Drive Out of New Orleans

"If you’ve never explored the sweet old town section of Slidell, it’s a real throwback, with locally owned shops and friendly eateries like KY’s Bicycle Shop. Originally a millinery store in the early 1900s, the historic building had a run as a family-owned grocery, then took off as a bike and lawnmower shop in the late 1960s. The welcoming bar and restaurant, with its ceiling scape of two-wheeled transportation, serves a freewheeling American comfort menu of breakfast, fried seafood, burgers, and plate specials." - Beth D'Addono
