Gris-Gris and Brigtsen's Limited Reopenings
Posted on 7/30/20 at 11:08 am

Restaurants are really trying to survive. Here are two new examples of two restaurants reorganizing their way of business.
Gris-Gris posted today on Facebook that it will be hosting private dinners. Looks like a fun time if you're inclined. Don't know if it will keep the restaurant afloat, but I hope so.
Brigtsen's is starting to go only today. It's an interesting setup. I hope it works for him.

Interesting ideas for both. Def will order to go from Brigtsen's. Gris Gris concept is interesting, but probably will need a pre-existing social group to take advantage of it ($1200 min will require at least 8-10 people to make it work).

More, and I can't expect many people will do it

Yeah, I'd probably have to get about 24 people to bring it in line with what we'd normally spend there. Plus that keeps it under the 25 person mandate. I'm sure some people are looking for large gathering spaces like that to try and celebrate life events, etc right now. So maybe it'll work. Hopefully it's enough to keep them afloat until things open back up.

in a flailing economy, good luck with that

I will definitely be ordering Brigtsen's takout. It remains a favorite of mine, in part because it's cozy, has delicious food, and the kitchen and staff prize hospitality and comfort over flash/noise/trendsetting. You can have a conversation over dinner at Brigtsen's in a normal tone of voice....

I thought about that, but if you get 12 folks and each pay $100 or so for a fun night out with a small group, it wouldn't be so burdensome. He's got a photo of a table for about 12 upstairs, but I would much rather get a group and sit around the "kitchen table" downstairs and interact with the chef and the staff. How much business of that type he can get, who knows....

I know someone going back and forth most weekends, so I'm watching for some foods that would reheat okay other than the bisque and gumbo. I'm not terribly interested in lasagna from there.

One of the best La restaurants. I just don't see how to-go will work for them though. That's a sit down experience IMO. It's not really takeout food.
I do hope it works out though.

Appoline is opening as well. Aug 1st.
First restaurant that I have seen that says masks will be required when ordering as well.

I think Paladar requires masks when ordering

He posts a lot on Facebook and I'm interested in seeing posts on how it works out. The menu includes some dishes that are not on his usual menu like "Chef Larry's lasagna", for example, and some tacos. There are a few entrees listed that are staples there.

They ask you to. Went 3 weeks ago and I didn't wear one at the table.
Posted on 7/30/20 at 1:58 pm to Gris Gris
I don't do the takeout. After the first few weekends of COVID and realizing how much doing takeout fricking blows, no thank you.
I can wait for Brigtsen's to open.

I'm was wondering if they stand off to the side in your sightline before approaching.

Our server was great. Knew a lot about the wine list and her recs on everything were fantastic.

Don't disagree, but Frank has a ton of people who love him (well deserved) and if this keeps the business afloat, they will do the take-out in the hope that it will enabke a sit down experienc ein the future.
