This recipe is from the closed Andrew Jackson restaurant. It was located at 221 Royal St in the French Quarter. The Windsor Art Gallery is now in it’s place. This resaturant opened up in 1963. They used Chef Warren Leruth as their menu consultant. The restaurant lasted until the Gourmet Bistro’s of the 80’s (Mr. B’s right down the street was the first) started opening and taking diners away from the grand restaurants. This is the recipe for one of their most popular dishes. It was named after Jean Lafitte, the pirate around the New Orleans area.
