"A Gulotta- and Bybee-operated spot specializing in creative riffs on Southeast Asian and Italian flavors, often powered by local ingredients, that closed on May 4 after partners decided to cut their losses with summer looming and business down. Chef Michael Gulotta and partner Jeff Bybee cited reduced traffic and the seasonal slump; a separate MoPho at MSY airport, run by licensee Delaware North, remains open. Gulotta said he’s staying focused on Tana, his swanky Sicilian and Italian eatery in Old Metairie." - Beth D’Addono
