New Orleans, LA

About Jacques-Imo's Café

Jacques-Imo's in the Uptown neighborhood is the kind of raucous, joyful Creole restaurant that defines the New Orleans dining experience — dark, loud, and packed with the energy of a city that treats eating as a sport in itself. Saints fans from across Louisiana make the pilgrimage here before and after Caesars Superdome games, drawn by the shrimp and alligator sausage cheesecake and the legendary fried chicken. The communal tables and refrigerator-car dining room are as entertaining as anything on the field.

Located in New Orleans.

Dooky Chase's Restaurant

Dooky Chase's is one of America's most historically significant restaurants, a Creole dining landmark that has fed civil rights leaders, presidents, and Saints fans since 1941, serving legendary dishes including the signature shrimp Clemenceau and fried chicken that has appeared in multiple presidential memoirs. Chef Leah Chase's legacy defines New Orleans Creole cooking, and dining here before a Saints game or Pelicans playoff night is to participate in a living piece of American culinary and civil rights history. The restaurant's art collection alone, showcasing African American artists, is worth the visit.
