 201 reasons to eat Louisiana cooking |
201, Decatur Street New Orleans, LA 70130 United States +1 504 561 0007 |

Master chefs, Jason Andres, an ex-apprentice of Emeril's NOLA, and Clint Whitemore, who gleaned his knowledge at the Grill Room of the Windsor Court Hotel, are the masterminds behind this popular eatery. While it is one of the newer establishments on the New Orleans restaurant scene, the unadorned decor compels diners to focus on the food. The contemporary Louisiana cuisine more than compensates for the lack of ambiance and fluff. Menu items vary from sautéed red snapper on a crawfish potato hash to Creole fried chicken marinated in buttermilk and mustard. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fresh Made Food in New Orleans |

Gerard Maras, a chef who cultivates his own fruits and vegetables on a farm, has been cooking professionally in New Orleans for over 22 years. The words "fresh ingredients" are so commonplace among restaurants that the phrase has turned into a meaningless cliche, yet Table One has the right to brag about their lack of microwaves, and the one small freezer that is used only for holding ice cream.
