New Orleans lost a culinary and cultural ambassador.
"Alfred Singleton was a remarkable individual who left an indelible mark on the hospitality industry. As a passionate chef, he crafted some of the most unique and delectable dishes at Cafe Sbisa, captivating diners with his culinary artistry. Moreover, he was a savvy restaurateur who cultivated a welcoming and relaxed fine dining atmosphere at his establishment. Singleton's contributions to the industry and the community will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time. It was a true honor to have worked alongside this exceptional individual, and his legacy will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of knowing him" (Tony Leggio).
