"Find oxtails, smothered pork chops, and fried chicken on the menu every day at chef Esther Lewis-Bernard’s soul food restaurant, but visit on Friday or Saturday when small, medium, and large bowls of gumbo are the daily special. Esther’s serves a show-stopping seafood combo with shrimp and whole crab claws." - Brittany Britto Garley, Minh T. Truong
