Zea Rotisserie wins Best New Restaurant

Harahan-based Zea Rotisserie & Grill opened during a two-year period in Baton Rouge that saw literally dozens of new eateries, making its win as Best New Restaurant that much sweeter. Zea distinguishes itself with fall-off-the-bone tender roasted meats and a savory seafood grill. Dare yourself to try a gator-and-grits “pirogue” or stick to tamer but still decadent fare like the American-Kobe beef burger. The food is fab, and the prices won’t empty your wallet.
