A Guide to New Orleans’s James Beard Award-Winning Restaurants

"Willie Mae’s Scotch House has been a bastion of batter-fried chicken close to the Treme since 1957. In 2005, owner Willie Mae Seaton was honored as an America’s Classic by the James Beard Foundation. Her great-granddaughter Kerry Seaton Stewart is now overseeing restaurant operations and expanded with a location in the Venice section of of L.A. in 2022. The original New Orleans restaurant is currently closed due to a fire in 2023, but owners are working to reopen it while simultaneously planning a new location downtown." - Beth D'Addono
