New Orleans Proper

Twilight in the French Quarter.

New Orleans doesn't cook like anywhere else in the South. It's a city built on layers — French and Spanish colonists, enslaved Africans and free people of color, Haitian refugees, Sicilian and Irish immigrants, and the Choctaw who were here first — each leaving their mark on the same pot. Out of that came two great kitchens: Creole, the city's refined table, and Cajun, the country cooking the Acadians carried in from the bayou. New Orleans Proper is our love letter to both — the gumbo and the red beans, the filé and the trinity, the charm and the heat. A pinch of Creole magic, and a little bayou in every jar.
