New Orleans Signature Sides – 4 Quarts

This is an assortment of Willie Mae’s classic Southern side dishes: red beans & rice, butter beans & rice, candied yams, and macaroni & cheese!

New Orleans has no shortage of legendary, must-visit restaurants, but for fried chicken lovers, Willie Mae’s sits at the top of the heap. For decades, locals and tourists alike have flocked to this quiet corner of NOLA’s Treme neighborhood to line up for a taste of founder Willie Mae Seaton’s downright magical fried chicken, which is dunked in a spicy, secret-recipe wet batter before being deep fried to juicy perfection with a flawless, shatteringly-crisp crust. In 2005, Willie Mae’s was named an “American Classic” by the James Beard Foundation, a well-deserved honor. Today, her legacy (and recipes) are carried on by her great-granddaughter, Kerry Seaton Stewart.
