Sorry to hear that. She had to be 90 I would guess since the kids are in their 60's.

Not my favorite but I've had plenty of good meals there over the last I guess 40 or so years.

RIP

Great spot with solid food and character. If I could teleport one BR spot to NOLA, this is it.

I will never forget two things that happened while working there.

One, when she told Lawrence to "Go poke yourself!" at the top of her lungs.

Two, the sound her thumb made when she grabbed the handle of a saute pan that I left sitting over a high flame for several minutes. (It was a very busy night. The whole kitchen was in the weeds.)

Sad to hear. I've never been there and she wasn't there.

Not just hanging out, but working. Always working.
