Mae’s Bakeshop, From Emeril’s Former Pastry Chef, Opens in Uptown - Eater New Orleans
"Jeremy Fogg, former pastry chef of Emeril’s Restaurant, launched his new Uptown bakery Mae’s Bakeshop on January 27. For the time being, he’s dishing up buttermilk biscuits, glazed cinnamon rolls, muffins, cookies, and pie and cake by the slice, but he plans to expand the menu to savory sandwiches, toasts, and breakfast dishes next month, Nola.com reports. Fogg told Nola.com that the bakery’s menu is rooted in the family recipes he remembers from Sunday gatherings and holidays — it has notable Southern influences, including a creamy chess pie and sour cream pound cake. Mae’s pull-apart king cake monkey bread, served with bananas Foster dipping sauce, is currently available for pre-order." - Justine Jones
