Celeb-Rated in New Orleans: Paul Prudhomme

"Commander's Palace is the destination dining spot in New Orleans. Everybody goes there for the famous Sunday brunch."

"It's not traditional New Orleans food; it's more contemporary but very well done. Local people really support it."

"Brigtsen's is one of those good, straightfoward New Orleans cooking places. [Frank Brigtsen] gives it his own touch once in a while, and he does a very good job at it."
