How we eat on Carrollton

One plate. Two sides. Full heart.

You pick your meat — catfish, chicken, turkey wings. You pick two sides from the list below. Cornbread or biscuit on the side. Gumbo if you're smart. Beignets at the end because you're not in a rush and you're happy.

This is how New Orleans families have eaten for generations. Not fancy. Not fussy. Just a full plate, people you love at the table, and enough food that nobody leaves hungry. That's what we put on the menu at 1516.
