NEW ORLEANS: Welcome to Tremé, New Orleans, and today we’re eating at Willie Mae’s Scotch House (goo.gl/maps/Ps9oFrEZNJssQwxc8)?entry=yt, one of the most historical restaurants in New Orleans known for their amazing soul food and serving some of the best fried chicken in the United States!
Willie Mae’s Scotch House originally started in 1957, but it didn’t start as a full restaurant like it is today. Instead, it was a barbershop, salon, and a bar. With the bar customers came a demand for food, and soon their food became famous - so well known that the food took over and it was turned into a restaurant. In 2005, Ms. Willie Mae Seaton was awarded with a James Beard award for “America’s Classic Restaurant for the Southern Region.” This prestigious award opened new doors and really put Willie Mae’s Scotch House on the map across the United States. Ms. Willie Mae Seaton has since passed away, but her legacy of delicious food and caring for the community will never be forgotten.
I ordered a number of fried chicken plates all coming with different sides. Let me first tell you about the fried chicken - battered and deep fried. But the batter didn't feel too heavy or caky, and what I liked the most is that when you bite down, the entire skin crispiness doesn’t all come of, but rather stays on the chicken. The chicken was so moist and juicy and the flavor was salty with a hint of spice. Willie Mae’s Scotch House has been named the best fried chicken in America, and I’m not going to argue!
The sides were also delicious, I loved the beans and rice, the green beans and the fried okra. Amazing fried chicken, delicious Soul Food side dishes, and a preservation of New Orleans history and culture.
Price - $15 per plate

Oh my goodness, my taste buds are tingling just thinking about the fried chicken at Willie Mae's in New Orleans! It's no wonder that this iconic soul food restaurant is renowned for serving up some of the best fried chicken in all of America. From the crispy, golden-brown coating to the tender, juicy meat inside, every bite is pure perfection. And let's not forget about the sides - from the fluffy biscuits to the creamy mac and cheese, Willie Mae's knows how to do comfort food right. I can almost taste the flavors of this soulful feast just by watching this video. If you're ever in New Orleans, Willie Mae's is an absolute must-visit for any fried chicken lover!

You know the food is next level when Mark dedicates an entire episode to one restaurant

I've been watching Mark Wiens for years with utter enjoyment. No matter the video, you know when he is at the apex of his satisfation is when he leans back and to his right. The further back and to the right he goes is when you know he's in culinary heaven. I've been to Willie Mae's and it's the best fried chicken I've ever had without a close second. Mark didn't feature the collard greens but they were freaking unbelievable. The cornbread was also the best I've ever had.

Mark is literally living the dream life...travelling around the world and trying out the best food in the world while getting paid....what a job mate

Mark Wiens is the only person who consistently eats and loses weight. Love your work sir!

The way he explains the food is so perfect.. you can literally feel, imagine, and almost taste whatever he reviews!

You always know that the food is better than just ok when Mark closes his eyes and leans back a little. Lol If the food is just good, but not great, he doesn't close his eyes! Lol I love how happy this man is when he's eating! That OH WOW! Gets me every time and makes me smile!! Lol
