Last weekend I was lucky enough to dine at August in New Orleans. For those of you who don’t watch the Food Network religiously, Chef John Besh was the runner-up on The Next Iron Chef, and August is his creation. The man deserved to win; I can say with certainty that it was one of the best meals I have ever eaten (don’t even get me started on the wine). And while my star-struck self was pretty disappointed to find that Chef Besh was in New York that night, I had the pleasure of touring his kitchen and stealing a photo-op with his sous chef.
If you’re headed down to New Orleans, I highly recommend putting August on the top of your list!
