Restaurant IPO replacing head chef, new menu on the way.

Restaurant IPO will see a new chef at the helm this week as Chef Chris Wadsworth makes his exit after about a year in its kitchen. His replacement is no one new to downtown Baton Rouge: former Stroube's executive Chef Scott Varnedoe will take over with Wadsworth's departure.
quote:
Varnedoe previously worked with IPO as a consultant and helped craft the original menu.
"We always had in the back of our minds in the beginning the ideal situation was consulting and to stay on, but the timing wasn't right," Varnedoe said. "The timing's right now."

Great move, imo.

Wow, that is interesting. Will be eagerly awaiting what he does there.

Let's hope the new menu reduces the sodium content in all of their dishes. Their shrimp and grits is unbearable due to the salt they douse it with. Actually, their bleu wings are delicious IMO.

Place needs to change its name. The current one is awful.

Went there this summer with high expectations and the food was terrible. The atmosphere is nice so if they can better the menu, I'll try again.

Their Facebook page and the articles written have said that they would start their new menu 2 weeks ago.. or last weekend at the latest.
We went Thursday night, and nothing at all was different. The only change was that they had a small tapas item that Varnadoe cooked at the James Beard house.
Just wanted to give you a heads up if you're planning to check out the menu soon. You might want to call ahead or wait a while because once seated and drinks arrived, we saw that nothing changed. $115 spent on a place where we've already had most items on the menu.. and have come to find just okay.
