North Carolina Woman Loves Breaux Mart With All Her Heart, Gets Tattoo

EATER IDK — A tourist from North Carolina came to New Orleans and got a tattoo of her favorite thing in the Crescent City, homegrown Breaux Mart grocery store. “As weird as it may sound, one of my favorite things to do is grocery shop, and Breaux Mart is hands down the best grocery store I’ve been to. They may end up being the reason I transfer permanently to New Orleans. I’ve already warned my boss,” she told Fox8. You just can’t buy that kind of advertising. [FOX8]

Tony Angello died in 2015 at 88. [ADVOCATE]

TEMPORARY SHUTTERS — Lama’s St. Roch Restaurant in Old Mandeville will close at the end of the day tomorrow (April 21) so it can move to its new location on 1814 North Causeway Blvd next to Cafe du Monde.

Lama’s St. Roch Restaurant will reopen on May 1. No major changes to the menu, look, or staff are expected. [NOLA.COM]
