Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This casual single-room joint serves up some seriously good Louisiana grub, which is why it gets so crowded that you may find yourself chatting with the next table over, likely about how good the food is. Owner-chef Wayne Booker's hometown recipes run the gamut of creole and Cajun classics, from blackened catfish to jambalaya to sweet potato pie.
