On the menu: Camellia Grill, the landmark New Orleans restaurant, says it will open a location in Perkins Rowe at the end of the year, reports New Orleans CityBusiness. Owner Hicham Khodr told the magazine that construction on the restaurant should start within three weeks. Khodr, who bought a condominium in Perkins Rowe so he could be near the restaurant, says the location will have more seats than the Camellia Grill on Carrollton Avenue, but everything else will be same, including the menu, decor and façade.
She’s listening: Stormy Daniels, the porn star and Baton Rouge native who is considering a run for the U.S. Senate, will kick off a listening tour at noon Tuesday at the Roux House. According to the Web site draftstormy.com, Daniels will meet with Louisiana working men and women to hear their concerns. The Web site says there’s only one other stop on her listening tour, at a New Orleans po-boy shop. Daniels has said she doubts she will run against U.S. Sen. David Vitter, since going to the Senate would mean a pay cut for her. But grass roots activists are reportedly encouraging her to run.
