Alzina Toups' Kitchen, a legend of Cajun cooking, will return with the next generation

Toups’ days in the kitchen there are done. She has retired, a decision she made even before the disaster.

Now, though, her family is preparing to bring Alzina’s Kitchen back to life. Her granddaughters Jenny Toups Stevens and Tish Toups plan to resume dinners by February, pending repairs to its storm-damaged structure.

“It's so important to my grandmother that we do this,” said Stevens. “There's so much love and respect for her, I don't see how we couldn't do it.”
