New OrleansNative New Orleanian Frank Brigtsen’s namesake
Riverbend neighborhood restaurant, co-owned
with his wife, Marna, is a Crescent City fi ne-dining
essential. Brigtsen’s menu draws heavily from both
Creole and Acadian culinary heritages to create
hyper-seasonal reinventions. Dishes such as Pan-
Fried Des Allemands Catfi sh prove seafood is a
shining star on Brigtsen’s ever-changing menu, and
the Filé Gumbo is a near-legendary recipe featuring
rabbit and andouille.
