There’s something special about a meal cooked over an open flame. Aside from the intense flavors that just can’t be duplicated over a stovetop, cooking over an open flame always sparks nostalgia and brings back memories of camping and backyard cookouts.

Let’s check it out.
If you’ve lived in Louisiana for any stretch of time, you’ve probably heard about the Myrtles Plantation.
Known for being one of the most haunted plantations in the country, the historic property is now a bed and breakfast where you can spend a relaxing weekend… if you don’t mind the paranormal factor, that is.
Located on the property, Restaurant 1796 is one of the most unique restaurants in Louisiana.
Named for the year the plantation was built, Restaurant 1796 opened in 2019 and replaced the Carriage House Restaurant, which was sadly destroyed by a fire in 2017.
