Five feet of water from Hurricane Katrina closed Celestine Dunbar's restaurant in 2005. She had run Dunbar's Creole Cooking for three decades, first on Oak Street and then Freret Street. The unlimited red beans, and cornbread, and fried chicken and gumbo made Dunbar's a beacon for politicians, students, workers and professors.

Luckily she has been serving lunches at my work for the last couple years.

Have to say, still plenty of food and still cheap as hell.

Really?! I saw so celebrities and local politicians in Dunbars. That was the first place I saw Mitch Landrieu at the time I think he was LT Govenor. Saint's players, Dr John, Trombone Shorty, Avery Johnson, Ray Nagin, Wendell Pierce, My friends saw Harry Connick in there one time
