Cool Hunting
On a recent trip to New Orleans, I had the mouth-watering pleasure of grabbing an early lunch at Cochon Butcher, the meat shop and wine bar opened in January by Cochon chef Donald Link and partner-chefs Stephen Stryjewski and Warren Stephens. Located in the still-burgeoning Warehouse District—home to hotels, galleries and museums—Cochon Butcher makes for an ideal snack stop while exploring the neighborhood's hotspots.
Though its steel and glass facade and contemporary interior suggests a cool atmosphere, Butcher is anything but. The staff, while busy prepping, were friendly and informative, taking the time to discuss in house Cajun specialties such as boudin, andouille and tasso, along with house-made artisan meats and sausages, all prepared and cured on site by the salumi maestro Kris Doll.
Apart from procuring a variety of meats and homemade pickles, visitors can cozy up to the rear bar for one of the best sandwiches in New Orleans. After downing the delicious mufaletta, Stephens led me on a lightning tour of Butcher's back-of-house. Following a stop in Butcher's curing room, I was so inspired that (despite my greatest efforts) I couldn't resist purchasing $50 in sausages for the flight home.

by Ariston Anderson Every summer surfers and sun-seekers visit Rockaway, Queens to join the locals in enjoying some of NYC's finest beaches. Until recently, however, dining options were limited to the typical pizza and bar food dotting the beach area.

Designed by and named after the iconic architect Frank Gehry, Toronto's Frank makes a tasty complement to the beautiful buildings of the Art Gallery of Ontario that houses it. The stunningly chic interior design is a work of art in its own right, featuring modern Danish furnishings and an installation of Frank Stella's work. And the restaurant itself benefits from the oversight of executive...
by Julie Wolfson Dreaming up chicken liver mousses and pairing foie gras with maple syrup, talented chef Ludovic Lefebvre's summer pop-up restaurant LudoBite makes other food taste boring in comparison. The graphic sign, an angry rooster sporting a heart tattoo and wielding a large knife, lets diners know they have found the right Los Angeles locale. Ludo aims to both challenge and please his customers,...
On a recent trip to Los Angeles I had the pleasure of experiencing the palatial restaurant and gourmet market Bottega Louie. I expected the newly opened establishment, located in the downtown business district, to be barely percolating with traffic on the weeknight I visited. Instead, the 185-seat dining hall, which features soaring 20 foot ceilings, banquette-style seating and a view of the grand open...
