For the last two years, one of New Orleans' most talented and celebrated chefs has not been cooking at a restaurant. That will change when James Beard Award-winning chef Sue Zemanick opens her first restaurant on Carrollton Avenue near Canal Street.

The restaurant will take over the building at 127 N. Carrollton Avenue that most recently housed Rue 127, which closed in early June. Zemanick was not yet willing to reveal her new restaurant's name.

Although Zemanick is still developing the menu for her unnamed restaurant, she made it clear that it won't be a radical departure from her cooking at Gautreau's. Seafood, she said, will predominate.

"It's going to be an upscale neighborhood restaurant," she said.

The prices, by design, will be lower than at Gautreau's.

"I wanted to do what I was doing in the past, but at a more accessible level so that my friends can come and eat there on a regular basis," she said.
