Frozen daiquiris, spiced wings, and Cajun specialties
"Nathanial Zimet’s Carrollton Avenue Cajun smokehouse serves smoked meats in ways you wouldn’t see at a typical barbecue joint. Among items like meat pies and wings, the menu includes barbecued brisket and pimiento cheese po’boys on Duong Phong French bread, sliders with mango barbecued pulled pork and chow chow, and smoked chicken salad sandwiches with fried chicken mayo. All the seating is outdoors in a lush garden and dining area with plenty of shade. Musicians set up in the gardens Friday through Sunday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m." - Stephanie Carter
"This lowdown cousin to the swankier Boucherie is all about innovative wings and fresh fruit daiquiris, in a casual storefront with plenty of outside picnicking space. Bourrée’s bigger-than-average wing offerings defy convention: Sweet mango and barbecue kimchee are two must-tries, six to an order. Ask about the daily daiquiris and be thrilled if it’s gin and tonic, but they’re all good." - Beth D’Addono
"This Uptown restaurant is listed as one of the spots that receives deliveries of Dong Phuong king cakes; to avoid striking out arrive close to opening or call to confirm they still have cakes in stock." - Clair Lorell
"Bourrée, the sister restaurant of Boucherie, does daiquiris right — made fresh daily with seasonal ingredients. There’s always a special, but the frozen gin and tonic is usually on the menu, an upgrade to the traditional G&T that is pure brilliance. Transform your next family meal with some to go — they’re available from 12 ounces to a full gallon of goodness." - Beth D’Addono
"When it became apparent how important it was to have a covered outdoor dining space to stay afloat during the pandemic, Nathanial Zimet, executive chef of Boucherie, built his own. It features a permanent covering surrounded by trellises growing new evergreen wisteria vines, picnic tables and benches, as well as smaller four-top tables and purple chairs to match the flowers when they start to bloom. The modern Southern restaurant offers a fab cocktail program along with the likes of blackened shrimp and grit cake and whole hog pulled pork." - Beth D’Addono
