Another Broken Egg to become LaLou

Fans of Another Broken Egg Café on Old Hammond Highway may have gotten a little jittery when they noticed the sign gone from the building’s façade—but never fear, the restaurant isn’t closing. Another Broken Egg is simply hatching into a new concept: LaLou. “Everything is going to stay the same,” says owner Mark Dixon. “The only changes are that the menu is getting bigger and we’ve got a new logo.” Another Broken Egg began branching out into dinner service around February, introducing pasta dishes, steaks and fresh fish entrees on their daily special menu. Although dinner proved popular with regulars, Dixon says there was “trouble attracting new customers for evening dining at a place called Another Broken Egg.” He mulled it over and made the difficult and unusual decision to change the restaurant’s name. “We’re ditching three years of branding,” Dixon says, “and we’re worried we’ll lose some customers with it, but everything at the restaurant is the same. Same wait staff, same cooks, same food—just more of it.” The new entrees will focus on Southern Louisiana cooking; paneed redfish, seafood jambalaya, crabmeat au gratin and baby back ribs populate the new menu, alongside such established breakfast favorites as sweet potato pancakes and three-egg omelets. The name change is just happening at the Baton Rouge location. LaLou will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, till 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and will close at 3 p.m. on Sunday.
