New Orleans Provides Inspiration for North Park Restaurant and Bar | Eater San Diego

"Set to open on University Avenue in January 2019, the Louisiana Purchase will occupy the ground floor of The Louisiana building and is being developed by Grind & Prosper Hospitality, the group behind Miss B’s Coconut Club, Carlsbad’s Park 101 and the upcoming WhipHand American Brasserie + Beer Bank. Designed to blend multiple indoor and outdoor spaces, it will include a courtyard and a wrap-around patio and will serve dinner from 4 p.m. to midnight with weekend brunch starting at 11 a.m. Its Big Easy–inspired menu will be overseen by Grind & Prosper culinary director Quinnton Austin, aka Chef Q, an alum of the Culinary Institute of New Orleans, and will feature dishes such as barbecue shrimp with sweet potato cornbread and a savory alligator cheesecake with crawfish cream sauce. Grind & Prosper partner and bar manager Rob McShea is designing cocktails ranging from Southern classics like the Sazerac and Ramos Gin Fizz to over-the-top party drinks fit for Bourbon Street." - Candice Woo
