One Month Since Hurricane Katrina

Le Parvenu Reopens For Dinner Today. Chef Dennis Hutley, owner of the excellent restaurant in Kenner's Rivertown, says that unless some new challenge appears unexpectedly, he will open for dinner tonight. The restaurant is near the river, and therefore well out of any flood waters. He says he will have to keep the menu simple, offering a short list of specials. He will open for dinner at five until it seems like time to close, Monday through Saturday, and for Sunday brunch.

Here's the menu:
Soup of the Evening
Salad Maison, Choice of five dressings
* * *
Broiled Catfish Fillet, Artichoke Hearts, Capers, Smoked Lemon Beurre Blanc
Grilled Filet Mignon, Marchand di Vin and Peppercorns, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Mixed Vegetables
New Orleans' Lima Beans and Bay Leaf Rice with Grilled Boneless Pork Chop, Smoked Sausage, or Grilled Ham
* * *
Le Parvenu Lemon Crepes with Citrus Sauce
Vanilla Ice Cream and Hazelnut Sauce

Le Parvenu is at 509 Williams Blvd. between the railroad track and the river, in Kenner. The phone number (which Chef Dennis says is not working consistently) is 471-0534.



Drago's Kitchen Is Up And Running. The great oyster restaurant is not really open for business, but the kitchen has been cooking and serving food to relief workers and others, free. This gives us two bits of good news. First, Drago's is okay, will reopen, and is keeping its people busy. Second, the great generosity of the Cvitanovich family in a pinch is as solid as ever. Thank you, Drago, Klara, Tommy, and Gerry!

Quarter barbeque restaurant back in biz

NEW ORLEANS — Another French Quarter eatery has re-opened.

ZydeQue Cajun Barbeque is back in business at 808 Iberville St. and serving lunch and dinner daily from 11:30 a.m. until curfew.

Though the restaurant sustained little physical damage due to Hurricane Katrina additional steps and accommodations were necessary to get the restaurant operational again.

Partners Gary Wollerman and Executive Chef Tenney Flynn also own and operate nearby seafood restaurant GW Fins. GW Fins sustained some damage due to Hurricane Katrina and is expected to open by December of this year.

Chef Tenney Flynn’s Cajun Barbeque menu combines versions of Louisiana barbeque with Zydeco music. ZydeQue is located at the intersection of Iberville and Bourbon streets

Take-out orders can be placed by calling 504.565.5520.
