It’s no joke: Boudreaux Thibodeaux kitchen to re-open

It’s been awhile since the kitchen at Boudreaux & Thibodeaux has been open for lunch, but a revamp isn’t far off. Sean Malone and Andy Blouin, co-owners of Serrano’s Salsa Company, have entered into a partnership with B&T owner Danny McGlynn to reopen the kitchen under new management. But the popular nightspot’s menu won’t veer into Mexican territory. “They’re planning to keep the new menu close to the Cajun theme we have,” says Karen Dean, events director for Boudreaux & Thibodeaux. According to Blouin, they’ve already overhauled the establishment’s catering menu, and many of the choices there will be recreated on the lunch menu. “Gumbo, fried catfish—we’ve got plans for a cochon de lait poboy,” Blouin says. The restaurant is expected to open near the end of this year.
