Isaac Toups' carnivore-forward restaurant is a love letter to Cajun charcuterie and bold, unapologetic cooking. The boudin, cracklins, and the whole-hog charcuterie board are essential starting points. Toups is a James Beard Award finalist whose food tastes like it comes from deep Cajun country roots. The room is loud and convivial; it's not a quiet dinner spot.
