He has renewed his previous commitment to buying locally to help invigorate the city and a food culture he loves. In 1999, Food & Wine magazine named John Besh one of the “Top 10 Best Chefs in America.” In 2006, James Beard named Besh the “Best Chef, Southeast” and he was victorious as the first New Orleans Chef to compete against Mario Batali on Food Network’s Iron Chef. Gourmet has ranked Restaurant August 22nd in its “Top 50 Restaurants in the United States” and Gayot Travel Guide has named it a “Top 40 Restaurant in the U.S.” He also recently received the Louisiana Restaurant Association’s 2008 Restaurateur of the Year award.

As the youngest of 13 children, Chef Paul was always adventurous. His strong curiosity of life and cultural customs motivated him to leave Louisiana in his early 20’s and travel across the United States to experience every culinary environment possible. In July 1979, K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen® opened its doors in New Orleans. In only a few years, his French Quarter restaurant attracted world travelers and continues to excite diners today. Diners are especially pleased to learn that K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen now takes reservations. Renovations were completed at the restaurant at the end of 1996 doubling the seating capacity.
