Coast. I have run into John Besh there and numerous other chefs. I have heard that Imperial Garden on Williams is the real deal...anyone know?

Almost anywhere in the French Quarter. The restaurants are struggling due to lack of tourism so seating is pretty easy. Cafe Giovani has opera singers which are entertaining. John Besh's restaurant August is superb as is Cuvee....

The Wednesday, Sept. 14 edition of the Los Angeles Times Food Section has an article featuring interviews/updates with Jacques Leonardi (Jacques-Imo’s), Paul Prudhomme, Alex Patout, John Besh (Restaurant August), Mary...
