In the heart of New Orleans, Heard Dat Kitchen radiates heritage and pride. Chef Jeffery Heard built his restaurant on family values, transforming a former Soap Works building into a community cornerstone on Felicity Street. Born in the Big Easy in 1961, Heard began washing dishes as a teenager. Over the decades, he refined the art of service in hotels, banquet halls, and fine dining establishments. In 2015, he founded his own restaurant that has been dubbed one of the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants in America.
