GURIA
Bilbao
Basque/ International
Bilbao Spain is the mecca of bacalao. I was surprised we didn’t have to confess in the bar before we sat and ate their bacalao four ways. It’s a true culinary gem paying tribute to bacalao’s stature in Spanish cuisine.

Published in 1984, it’s been a great inspiration for me early in my road to becoming a cook. He was the first to put traditional Louisiana cuisine on the map, and he modified it some from fine dining. He’s a great ambassador for Louisiana, and I love his restaurant.
