Why it matters: Started by Willie Mae Seaton in the 1950s and carried on by her family, this Black- and family-owned kitchen earned a James Beard America’s Classic award and rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina flooding. The draw is the fried chicken, crisp and juicy, with red beans and cornbread on the side. It is small and popular, so go early and expect a line.
