More information on Emeril's New Orleans

The ubiquitous Emeril came in for some noisy flak in the days following the disaster by some who felt he was not visible enough in supporting the city. More controversy followed, but here's the only thing worth really noting: At press time Emeril had reopened two of his restaurants and was working on the third. Keeping a business presence and employing many is an excellent way to support the city, and that's where the matter should be left. Meanwhile, we can vouch for his first namesake restaurant. Although it may no longer be trend-setting, it certainly isn't resting on its laurels in terms of quality, a remarkable feat given how long the place has been around.For starters, try the barbecued shrimp, which comes with a heavier sauce than the classic versions of this local dish, and is paired with charming little rosemary biscuits. Entree standouts include a precisely done Moroccan spice-crusted salmon with beluga lentils, duck schnitzel with roasted shallots, and andouille-crusted redfish. Try to save part of your generously portioned meal for leftovers, so that you have room for the notable banana cream pie, a behemoth whose fat content doesn't bear thinking about; or the mini-Creole cream cheesecake; or even some delicate homemade sorbets. One small caveat: This is a very popular place with suit-clad businessmen at lunch (the hours of which should have expanded greatly by the time you read this) and other clear regulars who appear to get speedier service than more anonymous patrons. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
