"Wayne Baquet confirmed the closure of his longtime Treme restaurant to NOLA.com in November, after months of speculation over whether his fried chicken and gumbo would return. The Esplanade Avenue cafe with one of the most-loved lunch buffets in town has been closed since the beginning of the stay-at-home order, with L. Kasimu Harris first reporting in August that Baquet didn’t plan to return to the business. Li’l Dizzy’s is up for sale, and Baquet hopes the business will continue under new ownership." - Clair Lorell
