New Orleans - John Besh
You know him from the fawning media coverage and, most importantly, his solid whupping of Mario Batali on "Iron Chef". Plus, his good looks suggest he`s been reading Debonair.
August - $$$ - Often cited as the best restaurant in the Big Easy, you`ll get sophisticated dishes like slow-cooked Berkshire pork belly with butter-poached Maine lobster and black truffles at Chef Besh`s flagship.
Estimated Bill - $184.82
Lüke - $$ - At Besh`s brasserie, similar flavors come at a serious bargain compared to August; anyone in need of convincing should dig into a plate of the jumbo Louisiana shrimp with cream white grits and Andouille sausage.
Estimated Bill - $91.28
