Finally, Teresa B. Day shares her recipes for irresistible pecan-crusted redfish and chili brussels sprouts. 1. Evolving flavors. Lent is a time when seafood and New Orleans traditions around it get more focus. Seafood Sally’s — the second restaurant from the team that started Marjie's Grill — shows how those traditions can evolve and taste both familiar and thrilling all at once. 2. Low, slow and ready to go? Meet Shannon Bingham, pitmaster at Devil Moon BBQ near the Superdome. The new barbecue restaurant is part of a double-barreled project pairing low-and-slow barbecue and craft beer. 3. Wait! There's more. Pinkberry shops have closed, but there's a new chapter at these three former Pinkberry locations. A program called Preserve the Pit aims to uplift barbecue in the Black tradition. And Paulie Gee's, a New York-style pizzeria in the CBD, is looking for a new location. 4. Heaven-sent for Lent. Teresa B. Day stocked up at the farmer's market with redfish, oysters and shrimp to create delicious seafood meals at home. Here, she shares her recipes for pecan-crusted redfish and chili brussels sprouts.
