Bennachin - Review - French Quarter - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"Afrobeats music videos on the television, purple and green tie-dyed tablecloths, and African art adorning every wall—welcome to Bennachin. Come for lunch with a few friends and split a bunch of stuff—prioritize the egusi soup, our favorite throat-not-lip-warming spicy spinach soup with thick cuts of beef, and the Jazz Fest combo with chicken skewers, sweet fried plantains, and sautéed spinach. (It’s also consistently the best actual Jazz Fest food choice.) Top things off with a ginger drink that’s the zippier-yet-sweeter cousin of ginger ale." - Megan Braden-Perry
