New Iberia, United States
1868
Set on Avery Island in Louisiana's Cajun heartland, 1868 occupies one of American dining's most singular addresses: the grounds of the McIlhenny Company, where Tabasco sauce has been produced since the Civil War era. The restaurant draws its identity directly from that provenance, placing ingredient sourcing and place-specific flavor at the center of a meal that reads as much as regional history as it does as dinner.
