Cochon RESTAURANT

Warehouse District, Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans · Cajun · $$

The boucherie is a south Louisiana tradition: neighbors gather in cold weather, break down a hog together, and waste none of it. Donald Link and Stephen Stryjewski built an entire restaurant on that idea in 2006, curing their own boudin, roasting Louisiana cochon with cracklins and turnips, and running a wood-fired oven all day. Order the fried alligator with chili garlic mayonnaise even if you think you already know what alligator tastes like.
