Uncle O's moves downtown as per BR BUSINESS REPORT

Uncle O's Café, a popular South Harrell's Ferry Road restaurant, is moving into Boudreaux & Thibodeaux's. Beginning Monday, the restaurant will be serving lunches out on Boudreaux & Thibodeaux's balcony bar. Karen Dean, who handles promotions for the Third Street bar, says Uncle O's will be open for lunches on weekdays, serving gumbo, salads and sandwiches. "It will be a very simple menu so the lunch crowd can move in and get out," Dean says. Boudreaux & Thibodeaux had been serving lunches out of its downstairs bar, but Dean says the business decided to take advantage of its natural resources. "We've got the only balcony in downtown Baton Rouge, and the weather has been nice," she says.—Timothy Boone
