To taste the true essence of Cajun and Southern cooking, drop by Cochon, a butcher shop, sandwich counter and wine bar by award-winning chefs Donald Link and Stephen Stryjewski. Working in a renovated New Orleans warehouse with locally sourced pork, fresh produce and seafood, they pay homage to the old-style Cajun boucherie with handcrafted boudin, andouille, smoked bacon, terrines, sausages and head cheese. Sip a flight of moonshine, then tuck into a succulent crayfish pie, roasted Gulf fish "fisherman" style, comfort foods such as spoon bread with okra and tomatoes, wood-fired oysters with garlic chili butter, and suckling pig. Try the chocolate peanut butter pie for dessert. Plan ahead. Reservations are required. Seafood lovers flock to their sister restaurant, Pêche Seafood Grill in the Warehouse District, for rustic dishes prepared on an open hearth over hardwood coals.
