The Kitchen

Chef Quinnton Austin's Creole Kitchen

Every plate at Louisiana Purchase is a deliberate act. Chef Quinnton Austin's culinary program is built on the traditions of Louisiana cooking — fire, patience, and obsessive precision. Fire-charred oysters. Slow-built dark roux gumbo. Gulf shrimp in Worcestershire butter.

The menu changes with the season but the commitment never does. This is elevated Creole dining done with complete sincerity.

The Bar Program

Cocktails Built for the French Quarter
