COUNTRY COME TO TOWN!!

Me and then Chirren moved to Third Ward a little over three years ago and it instantly became home. Third Ward feels like the Harlem Renaissance meets present day — Black excellence!

Folk in Third Ward are still fighting the good fight while staying vigilant through the steady undercurrents of gentrification.

I count myself blessed to be part of this historic, soulful community.

Restarting and rebranding my food ventures was always the plan, but history and valuable lessons taught me not to rush. I told myself when the time and the space were right, I’d know when to move.

Well… the time is right and the space is right.
God really showed out!!

I’ll be setting up shop at the corner of Wheeler Avenue and Scott Street… if you know, you know! What looks like a vacant lot today will be transformed over the next 90 days into an open-air farmers market and restaurant space complete with my food truck, Creole in the City, offering authentic Louisiana-style plate lunches,a solid short-order, and all the good stuff from home!
Our family meat market, Gradney’s Smokehouse, will also operate from the location offering authentic Creole specialty and smoked meat products (smoked sausage-Tasso-wings-necks- boudin-hog head cheese..etc).

I’ve also opened the space up to another food truck bringing their own flavor, great food, and energy to the lot — helping make the space a true destination for good eats, good vibes, professionalism, culture, and community.

We will also host an open-air farmers market featuring vendors ranging from agriculture to the arts.

Follow the journey and watch us grow!

This is what okra looks like when Creole folk cook it.
You can’t just throw a can of tomato in something and call it a “Creole dish! Please stop - y’all upsetting my ansectors. Creole food takes time and a lot of love. Okra was first introduced to Louisiana through African slaves. Often times slaves were given the root vegetables and basically the trash from the fields.. like mustard and turnip greens. Just like that, slaves turned them from struggle to delicacy. Okra came from the motherland and is widely used today. But ain’t nothing like a pot of Louisiana Creole smothered okra with chicken sausage turkey necks and tomato.
ON THE MENU TODAY!!
