Willie Mae's Scotch House (New Orleans, LA)
I'm late in posting about my visit to Willie Mae's Scotch House but decided to do so now because of the recent news of Willie Mae Seaton's passing. This great woman ran Willie Mae's Scotch House for decades until she passed away at age 99.
I had the chance to dine at Willie Mae's when I was in New Orleans for the last Foodie Hub North American Awards (formerly known as Chowzter). This hole in the wall had won a James Beard Award! Of course, Anthony Bourdain has been here, too.
Willie Mae's fried chicken definitely deserves one of the top spots on any fried chicken list. The skin is super crispy, the chicken is juicy and seasoned well. We all dug in and loved it! Get it with a side of fried okra.
Not to miss is their cornbread muffins. They make it on the sweeter side with a nice crust.
Also not to miss: butter beans.
They also have red beans, which some of us actually preferred to the butter beans.
If you're a fan of fried chicken or of local food in general, getting out of the touristy areas and heading to Willie Mae's Scotch House is a must when you're in New Orleans!
