New Orleans’s Most Anticipated Restaurant Openings for 2021 - Eater New Orleans
"The return of Vaucresson Sausage Co. to New Orleans’s Seventh Ward has been anticipated for some time now, with generations of Vaucressons working to build a multi-faceted business in the company’s former address. The century-old butcher is one of the original and most popular Jazz Fest food vendors, and the family’s Vaucresson’s Creole Cafe in the 1960s was a rare Black-owned business in the French Quarter at the time. Now, third-generation proprietor Vance Vaucresson has confirmed that plans for a restaurant and meat market are back on track for late 2021 (in addition to affordable-rate apartments the property will house). With help from Chase, the revival of Vaucresson’s Creole Cafe will feature the peppery sausage its famous for, as well as hogs head cheese, chaurice, and other meats served in gumbo, po’boys, and atop grits." - Clair Lorell
