NEW ORLEANS —
Stanley of New Orleans, a popular restaurant in Jackson Square, will close permanently on Labor Day, its owners announced.

The owner told WDSU it was a tough decision, explaining that their lease is up and construction and food costs contributed to the closing.

Lasted longer than I would have expected 15 years ago.

Scott Boswell certainly has had a career.

10-15 years ago it definitely was when Boswell was the toast of the town. Now, not so much .

Years ago I spent a day with him for a magazine article. It was pretty much the height of his short ascendancy. We went to that race track on the West Bank to look at his race cars (one named Stella one named Stanley), his “paint factory” in mid city where he produced base sauces, stocks, and other staples for each restaurant, Stanley and then back to Stella. It was a wild day and insight into sometimes people can have too many ideas.

Yeah, he spent some money on Ferraris if I remember right.

Had dinner at Muriel's around 6:00 p.m. a few months ago after I saw Spam a lot. When we got through I looked at Stanley's, and hardly anybody was in there

No worries. I’m bringing my girls tomorrow morning for one more breakfast. We go before mass all the time. Going to miss it.

Going to miss it. You and I met there once. I became very good friends with the owners and staff. I hope Scott, Tonya, and Wes continue to thrive elsewhere!!!

Friend,

What a tremendous loss for the Quarter. One of the best gumbos in town, Stanley also was consistent with great fried seafood and breakfast items. We were regulars at Stella! so this another blow for us.


Yours,

One of my favorite dishes at Stella! was the duck five ways.

I’ve never heard of it. Should I have? I feel like I missed out.
