Former Maurepas Foods Restaurant Chef Will Lead Next Location of Gracious Bakery and Cafe - Eater New Orleans

"Chef Michael Doyle, previously of Bywater’s Maurepas Foods and Press Street Station, will lead the new Gracious Bakery + Cafe, opening inside the New Orleans Culinary and Hospitality Institute (NOCHI) in January. The fourth location of Gracious Bakery + Cafe will have an expanded menu with a focus on lighter dishes informed by Levantine spice profiles including a short rib debris sandwich with Harissa slaw on a Challah bun and Piri Piri fried chicken with tabasco peppers, cornmeal waffle and Steen’s cane syrup. The cafe will be open to the public as well as a gathering place for students and faculty Monday through Saturday." - Clair Lorell
