The incredibly sucky dining options at Louis Armstrong International are one step closer to an upgrade of bedazzling proportions. Just in time for the Super Bowl as promised, Delaware North, the company which has run the food and drink options at Louis Armstrong International for the last 18 years, is gearing up to open seven new dining concepts including Dooky Chase and Ye Olde College Inn. All of these new airport eateries are slated to open by mid-January.
While many details? including Dooky Chase's location inside the airport? have yet to be revealed, here's a sneak peak at the upcoming concepts heading to MSY. Also, tomorrow Eater will run an Airport Dining Guide of places to eat on your way to and from the airport, just in time for your holiday travels.
UPDATE: Dooky Chase will be located pre-security at what is referred to as the center of the airport. The restaurant is closest to security check point for Concourse C.
1)Zatarain's Kitchen
Where: Concourse B, Now Open
What: Jambalaya, red beans and rice, and all dat.
2) Le Petit Bistro
Where: Concourse B
What: Not to be confused with New Orleans' La Petit Grocery, this cafe will offer lighter fare like salads and wraps
3) Copeland's Gourmet Kitchen
Where: Concourse C
What: Every form of alfredo pasta you could ever hope for and more.
4) Ye Olde College Inn
Where: Concourse D
What: The oyster loaf landmark brings a gluttonous array of po' boys to the Delta concourse, including a Fried Bread Pudding Po-Boy. Seriously.
5) Copeland's Cheesecake Scoop Café
Where: Concourse D, Opening late December
What: There has to be at least one concept gone wrong on the list. This almost sounds like a rival for Guy Fieri's S'mores Pizza (if there were such thing as a S'mores Pizza Café). Yes, scoops... SCOOPS... of cheesecake will be served parfait style.
6) Wow Café and Wingery;
Where: Concourse D, Opening late December
What: wings, sandwiches, wraps, in a brand new space
