That's their title but works well.

Nola Eatery

Couple highlights I scraped:

Bayou Meat Market
This new full-service butcher shop and eatery from the Bayou Wine Garden and Bayou Beer Garden team and Cochon Butcher alum is opening at 3301 Bienville at N. Rendon in Mid City soon. After it opens, it will add alcohol once permits go through. It won’t be a late night place though.

In addition to being a standalone shop, Bayou Meat Market will also supply its Bayou Beer Garden and Bayou Wine Garden with charcuterie and other meats for their bar menus and private parties.

Major Players: David and Virginia Demarest, Fiona Delargy, Dean DiSalvo, Leighann Smith, and Daniel Jackson

Location: 3301 Bienville at N. Rendon in Mid City

Status: Co-owner David Demarest confirmed that construction is on schedule for the anticipated opening.

Anticipated Opening: Mid-August 2017

Brasa Churrasceria
Edgar Caro’s Brasa Churrasceria is heading to Old Metairie very soon. The new Brazilian steakhouse is opening in the spot that was formerly the home of Château du Lac. Caro is the force behind Baru Bistro and Tapas, as well as Basin Seafood and Spirits, both on Magazine Street. A custom-built, wood-fired grill made of brick and iron will anchor much of the menu items. Expect: Latin American steak cuts like entraña, or skirt steak, and picanha, or sirloin cap (also known as culotte); chimichurri; filet mignon; aged steaks, whole fish; rotisserie chicken; short rib mac and cheese, grilled skewers of meat and seafood; soups and salads.

Major Player: Edgar Caro, chef and restaurateur behind Baru Bistro and Tapas and Basin Seafood and Spirits.

Location: 2037 Metairie Road in Old Metairie
