Phillip Lopez

Root - New Orleans

Following stints with industry icons Michel Richard and John Besh, chef Phillip Lopez opened his own New Orleans restaurant, Root. Since then, Lopez has been a progressive force for redefining preparation, techniques, and flavors in the Big Easy’s culinary landscape, earning Root a coveted spot on Bon Appétit’s 50 Best New Restaurants list.
