Justin (of Top Chef fame) is opening a new restaurant at Ditcharo's current home.

Chef Justin Devillier of La Petite Grocery and his wife Mia entered into a long-term lease for the former Ditcharo's location at 640 Carondelet St. The couple will open a second restaurant there in the fall. Construction begins in July.

No other details about the restaurant were yet available.


That's a great location that can support many different styles of restaurants. Curious what his plan is????

The cuisine and ideal is pretty cool, but not sure he wants it out there right now. Including something Ive been begging for in the city.

I haven't heard anything, but I would assume it would be a more casual type place?

Update from nola.com, LINK

quote:

The restaurant will be more casual than La Petite Grocery. The bar will be a focal point and feature a "cold station" with raw seafood.

"That's more about necessity than concept," Devillier said. "The kitchen is so damn small that we can't have someone in there messing with all the cold stuff."

The food will not be that different from La Petite Grocery, although none of the Uptown bistro's menu will be repeated downtown.

"It's not like I'm going to open a Chinese place," he said. "I'm a one-trick pony. A lot of simplicity and fresh ingredients."


R2R,

quote:

One thing won't change; the new restaurant will still be a place to celebrate (or commiserate) with fellow fans after the Saints play.

"We're definitely going to be partying on the Saints games days," he said. "But, you know, I don't think we're going to be hanging up Coors Light posters."

Yeah, going to be a great place, I'm sure. Going to be hard as shite to get in to, too.

I doubt the city will grant a permit without adequate means of entrance and egress as per the building code.
