What We Are Eating Right Now Around Louisiana

November – December

Denny Culbert
This is a bit silly and totally biased, but my favorite restaurant of the moment is my own wine shop, Wild Child, for Friday lunch. Our team has developed a menu using the best of the best ingredients and all of our bread is baked in house using Straw Cove flour milled in Lafayette. There’s an ever evolving cast of lunch regulars, and Katie picks a special bottle of wine to pour by the glass each week.

Melanie Warner Spencer
The Greyhound in Covington. With its stellar food and gorgeous Art Deco interior design, I want to live there. My husband and I both cannot stop thinking and talking about the wood oven roasted feta with pita appetizer. I crave it a couple times a week with its mix of olive oil, olives, garlic, herbs and tomatoes. It’s a savory delight.

Clancy’s. It is reliable and familiar—just the place when I want the comfort of home. I love the classic nature of paneed veal or fried eggplant sticks served with aioli. The specials are always an irresistible surprise. There is a bit of Creole New Orleans and Creole Italian with a modern touch!
