Beanlandia

Latest Restaurant Closings in New Orleans, March 2025 | Eater New Orleans

"A bean-centric concept located in Beanlandia at the Krewe of Red Beans museum and community center in Bywater, this project featured chef Maya Mastersson’s inspired menu that transformed the humble legume into the cornerstone of a globally informed culinary program. The Krewe and nonprofit’s founder Devin DeWulf said the restaurant as first imagined wasn’t sustainable and that, “A normal restaurant model isn’t right for the space.” The idea is back at the drawing board, and Mastersson is continuing to offer immersive culinary experiences under her Black Roux Culinary Collective brand." - Beth D’Addono
