Cancel culture came after her. She just posted she will be stepping back to repair relationships in the restaurants and her home.

Going to focus on her accountability.

@thalia_nola and @melatmidnight for anyone who wants to go down the rabbit hole.

She was racist and mean.

And also sold yakamien.

Toof is racist because he said he was going to go there.

What a fricking sucker. How does this industry attract so many emotionally fragile and unstable individuals?

I like her restaurant. I’ve been there and interacted with her on several occasions and always thoroughly enjoyed my experience. She always seemed kind, amenable, and engaging. It’s weird that people who can be so seemingly normal humans can allow themselves to give into so totally to such inane craziness.

eh they posted some kumbayah shite in response but nothing like Essig dousing herself in gasoline and lighting the match. I hope the Catahoula people sue this guy's arse though.

The answer to “why do you sell Yakamein for $14” should have been:

“We love getting yakamein for $5 at a 2nd Line out of someone’s van. But when having to pay employees, rent, insurance, sales tax, linen, and other expenses we just can’t sell it for $5.”

Funniest part of that is he criticized Blue Giant and Red's for culturally appropriating someone's culture.

Then he came back into town last week and was pimping a Cajun restaurant in The East owned by Vietnamese people.
