Etouffee, Mon Amour: The Great Restaurants of New Orleans

 Kerri McCaffety is the first-place winner of the 1999 Society of American Travel Writers Lowell Thomas Award for a self-illustrated article. The New Orleans Gulf South Booksellers Association named McCaffety’s first book, Obituary Cocktail, Book of the Year for 1998. Her second book, The Majesty of the French Quarter, was called “a vision to behold” by Gambit literary reviewer Julia Kamysz Lane, and “easily one of the most handsome coffee table books in years” by the Jackson (Miss.) Clarion-Ledger. The New Orleans Times-Picayune referred to her third book, The Majesty of St. Charles Avenue, as “fit for royalty.” Her writing and photojournalism appear in publications including the Oxford American, Town and Country, Historic Traveler, Colonial Homes, Southern Accents, Travel & Leisure, Metropolitan Home, and the Seattle Times.
