1. Emeril's

    E.J. Lagasse has refreshed his father's three-decade Creole institution with contemporary precision, evident in barbecued shrimp tarts and gumbo that taste both classic and alive. Generous spacing and a visible kitchen create an elegant stage for cooking that prioritizes flavor without sacrificing refinement.
