When a New Orleans lunch begins at the bar and doesn’t actually get to the table until close to 3 P.M. (as planned) , you may be primed to order off script.

@galatoiresrestaurant is a trove of French Creole tradition - the soufflé potatoes and oysters Rockefeller were particularly good this time.

But the kitchen will also make custom combinations per request — so cobia with lemon caper sauce, add sweetbreads, and two soft shell crabs, sautéed, not fried, topped with more crabmeat.

And Billy Fontenot tending the cafe brulot “bonfire” for dessert.
