Another famed restaurant closes permanently
July 13, 2020 by DarcieThe headlines about top restaurants that are closing permanently continue to pile up. Even long-standing establishments that have weathered recessions and natural disasters are not immune to the financial pressures created by lockdowns and the public’s reluctance to resume in-person dining when it is available again. This time it is K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen, a staple of the New Orleans dining scene for decades.
Started by Paul Prudhomme and his wife Kay in 1979, the French Quarter restaurant started life as a small, 60-seat venue that grew to over 200 seats and lines that stretched down the block. Tourists flocked to the restaurant, drawn in by Prudhomme’s celebrity status and by the high quality of food.
Following Prudhomme’s death in 2015, his niece Brenda Prudhomme and her husband, chef Paul Miller, assumed the reins at the iconic eatery. In a statement, Brenda Prudhomme said “We have been blessed and honored to serve our customers who have become family through shared stories, breaking bread with jalapeno cheddar yeast rolls and raised martini glasses.”
