Episode 247: The Tradition and Importance of Louisiana Fine Dining

Louisiana knows food. Whether it’s a crawfish boil in your parrain’s backyard or a night out at one of the longest running restaurants in the state – there is a character and whimsy associated with everything we do culinarily. New Orleans has truly set itself apart as a food destination and puts in some extra flare with the city’s attention to detail and hospitality. This week, I talk to Katy Casbarian, whose family has owned Arnaud’s Restaurant in the historic French Quarter since the 1970’s, but like many restaurants in the city and state, the history, tradition and level of fine dining began much earlier. We discuss about food, hospitality and the state of fine dining in the city and state.
