The news that one of the oldest names in New Orleans dining has changed hands came as a surprise to many. The many shades of New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp Pascal's Manale has been serving barbecue shrimp since 1954.
Some also expressed trepidation for what the change could bring for the Uptown institution. The restaurant is known for butter-sluiced barbecue shrimp, for its stand-up oyster bar and for hearty Creole Italian cooking. It's also known for something more fragile - the long line of New Orleans stories that have unspooled between its walls, the memories that reside here, buffered from the pace of a rapidly changing city by the the restaurant's familiar ambiance, approach and personalities.

The Brandts’ nephew Carmen Prozenavo Jr. oversees the restaurant now. He and Ray had long talked about opening a restaurant together. It was the history of Pascal’s Manale that drew them here, and Provenzano has his own history with it.
I think the other article said the nephew had left many years ago. The purchase makes a lot more sense if the nephew was running and the Brandt family was looking for a restaurant opportunity.

Says Ray Brandt is gravely ill. How old is he?

I’m 99% sure the Nephew was running or managing the now closed Alfa Romeo/Maserati dealership...guess he needed something to do and wasn’t interested in cars anymore?
I really need to get to Pascal’s. I live walking distance to it and still haven’t been.

I went two years ago. It was the first time I had been in about 8 years.
I heard it had gone down hill, but I wanted to check it out for myself given it's one of my favorite places to visit in NOLA.
I had the BBQ shrimp, obviously. The sauce was very watered down and had no flavor. I was pretty disappointed.

I go a few times a year for business lunches/dinners. It’s always been just ok to me. BBQ shrimp is all butter and cracked pepper. Veal dishes are usually fairly good. it’s not really a place I’d go if not for a client that likes it.
