The restaurant carousel spins
At least four new restaurants will land in the parish.
Baton Rouge’s restaurant carousel keeps spinning—and, for now, it is turning eastward, with two more Asian concepts coming to the parish. A prominent Mexican chain, meanwhile, is preparing to land near Bocage and a brunch place will sell biscuits near dozens of other restaurants on Burbank.
- Tsaocaa will open its first parish location at Acadian-Perkins Plaza. The chain draws customers with bubble tea, fried chicken and Hong Kong-style egg waffles.
- Dumpling Hour, a Lafayette import, opened last in the former Serop’s space on Corporate Boulevard.
- Chipotle is taking a spot in the former Rite Aid at Jefferson Highway and Corporate Boulevard, sharing the building with Hollywood Feed, a pet store. RedEye hears the restaurant will feature a drive-through “Chipotlane,” joining two others in the city and making burrito purchases more efficient.
- Parish Biscuit, another Lafayette restaurant, is preparing to open at West Lee Drive and Burbank Drive. Its menu applies a Louisiana touch to breakfast and brunch, featuring biscuit sandwiches and sweet breakfast items.
