"Chef Emeril Lagasse has opened a new restaurant, 34 Restaurant and Bar, in New Orleans as a tribute to his Portuguese heritage. The menu includes Portuguese dishes like bacalhau a bras, caldo verde, and various rice dishes. The restaurant is designed to reflect Portuguese culture and is a partnership with his son, E.J. Lagasse. It features a tile-clad DJ booth and offers a relaxed environment with modern Portuguese cuisine." - Rachel Chang Rachel Chang Rachel Chang is a travel and pop culture journalist who contributes to Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Lonely Planet, and more.
