Under sparkling chandeliers in a renovated four-story French-Creole warehouse, James Beard Award–winning chef John Besh celebrates regional ingredients in French style. A devoted Louisiana resident, Besh is involved with artisanal producers and longtime area farmers, which means you might find a salad of heirloom beets with Allen Benton’s cherrywood bacon, mustard greens, quail eggs, and black-eyed pea croutons, or a sugar-and-spice duckling with Anson Mills heirloom Carolina corn grits, roasted duck foie gras, and quince. We suggest the buster crabs, fried until they’re crispy and hot if you can.
