LÜKE

lüke. one of the 6 louisiana restaurants owned by john besh. you may know john besh from the 2007 food network reality show The Next Iron Chef. besh played too nice to win that title but has continued to lead the louisiana local food movement and write a cookbook titled My New Orleans - The Cookbook, which are signed and stacked high near the front door of lüke. lüke is billed as an authentic brasserie and besh nailed that. dark wood accents the restaurant. the bar, seats diners and proudly displays an arrangement of fresh seafood on ice. the restaurant is cozy and the food is spectacular. raw oysters, a cup of gumbo and shrimp & grits filled my tummy. the meal was so yummy, we entertained the idea of going back for breakfast or for the fresh house-made sausage and sauerkraut. but, i resisted, as my move-on mentality kicked in, but, lüke is, for sure, on the return restaurant list. you gotta go.
