EMERIL’S DELMONICO
New Orleans
Delmonico originally opened in 1895 on the eve of the
20th century. Emeril Lagasse acquired and reopened the
historic Creole restaurant in 1997, propelling it into the
21st century with an added modern touch. The kitchen,
led by Chef Anthony Scanio, turns out elevated yet
approachable, ingredient-driven fare with favorites such as
Jumbo Lump Crabmeat Remick, the house-aged Moulard
Duck Breast, and Quail Clemenceau.
