No dine in, only delivery. Look for it on Waitr. Menu is VERY limited. Delivery from Kenner to Lakeview.

Comes from Zeas' kitchen. I asked the Waitr driver where he picked up the order.

We ordered it last week. Roban, cheeseburger pasta, and chicken enchilada pasta were all the same as they always have been. Would order it again.

That could be a good MO for the ghost kitchen idea. Cash in on nostalgia for closed restaurants. Maybe make it for a limited time, before switching to another old brand, and use the "scarcity" like McRib (for a limited time only!) to drive sales. Rotate concepts every quarter or so.

Cheeseburger pasta is the GOAT

"ghost kitchen" reads as "cooked at someone's house" to me

So do I...Their chicken marsala and pasta jambalaya were delicious.

After they shut down that Aussie dude, named Patrick I believe, totally redid the outside of the building. Can't remember what he named the place, but a ton of money was spent on the place to make it Aussie style and he lasted less than a year.

I'm guessing some investors didn't quite get their investments back.

Well if they happen to read this board, bring the "ghost kitchen" to Baton Rouge also! And bring the Pad Thai, Quatro and the macaroni and cheesecake with you when you come!

...commissary, so sort of.

Hope this expands to other delivery apps as Waitr is the WORST.

Haven’t yet but will. I tried starting a thread on OT for all the middle aged carb lovers that don’t look at this board but it got whacked.
