Southern Living magazine released its annual “The South’s Best” reader survey results and L’Opossum restaurant was declared the best in the entire South.
Excerpt:
As the accolades for L’Opossum keep coming—Shannon was named a James Beard Award Best Chef Mid-Atlantic semifinalist in 2016—guests are smitten by his refined and irreverent restaurant, a major player in the city’s dining renaissance.
An 8-foot, 6-inch coppery reproduction of Michelangelo’s David greets guests at the front door, and 12-inch versions adorn the booths. The dark red dining room ushers guests from gritty to glam in a moment. You’re in Oregon Hill, and you’re out of this world.
