About eight blocks from my place in the Treme lies one of the most amazing breakfast/lunch restaurants: Lil Dizzy's Cafe.
From catfish and grits, to all types of crawfish, shrimp omelettes, et. al Lil Dizzy's cooks up amazing food. Little did I know, however, that the Baquet family belongs to New Orleans "royalty" as explained in this NY Times article.
(Wayne Baquet can be seen everyday at Lil Dizzy's with his towel usually thrown over his right shoulder...but I now remember why his brother, Dean, seems familiar - he was featured on this PBS Frontline interview and video (on youtube) as former editor of the LA Times/current Washington Bureau Chief of the NY Times.)
