NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Top Chef fan favorite, Nina Compton, has officially made New Orleans her home. Her new restaurant Compere Lapin opened Tuesday in the Warehouse District.

Compton, a native of St. Lucia, will combine her Caribbean upbringing with her background in French and Italian cuisine on the menu to make flavorful and unique dishes.
