"Here’s how you tell if a restaurant in the Quarter isn't a tourist trap: people working in the area actually eat there. Johnny’s is one of those places. Get a fried catfish, oyster, shrimp, or softshell crab po’boy, dressed, with hot sauce and butter on the bread. It’s a perfect combination: the vinegar from the hot sauce brightens up the fried seafood, and all of it sinks into that soft buttered French bread. Technically, you can eat there, but taking it a few blocks to sit on a bench by the river to watch the ships pass is even better." - megan braden perry
