some people call our food stoner food
because like we're always trying to find
like the biggest flavors to like uncover
but I think it's just we like big-ass
bold flavors they're the most fun to
work with
I got the ham sandwich and I got the
wedge salad yo ain't nothing like y'all
truckin whoa it's what they do around
here baby the Bon Apetit or some of the
emails been here text me
dude check out the internet and it says
Andrew Nolan from Bon Appetit just said
turkey in the loaf is the best new
restaurant in America and we're like
this is coolest part about having a car
that's not old it's gonna talk through
the speakers hello we will be coming now
for the Bologna's okay so butcher shop
also great restaurant also really nice
people what is special about our meat we
make everything from scratch from whole
animals and we make it for this
beautiful man like what where did she
take look at those numbers and get 20
they're like sweating like I'm about to
just waste like 50 bucks
New Orleans is full of like really good
interaction so like you know you're
buying a pack of smokes or a bag of beef
jerky or coke Cola you can end up
talking to the person selling it to you
the clerk for like five minutes and like
leave like feeling pretty happy like
that was a great conversation you can
rely on I'm having a good time without
having to plan it because that the
people you run into and the people you
end up talking to
so let's unload the car Oh My Jesus
first on the list is show each other a
good time come in looking for positive
interactions be nice the view around you
lift them up try to make them feel good
it's a different way of looking at a
restaurant
we're in treat ourselves well first so
that it's really easy for us to do this
and it's never gonna be an act then we
worry about the food tasting good and
getting people in the door and showing
those people a good time
we had this whole thing where we're
gonna do it differently we've all worked
in fine dining
we've all had positions of really high
stress let's do it a little different I
think that people kind of looked at that
as like a mentality or we're like
bad boys people took that as this is a
bunch of people are just doing what they
want and they don't give a about
what the rules are the limbs on easy
food we come up with is important to us
because of its relation to our past and
what we grew up eating or like not first
taste of something we love for the way
so when our families to cook it or
whatever that's a lot of times a good a
good starting point to like start
creating a dish that will make out on
the menu cooks that are given some
creative freedom are gonna play out a
product that's better
I work with what's really cool people

I guess it all comes down to the feeling
you have when you leave that restaurant
the feeling you have when you're in the
restaurant and somehow this group of
kids showed enough people a good time
there was a sense of discovery
every time somebody went in there
they're like look at this place I found
the dude from Bon Appetit who decided
where we were in this top new
restaurants list and he goes well what
if I told you there's like kind of one
feeling I'm looking for and if I leave
that restaurant feeling particularly
good and happy and fulfilled what if I
told you it's like all about the feeling
you have when you leave the restaurant
and that's what I'm judging against it's
not about who's fancy you're not fancy
and I was like well man I think you're
telling us that you really like the
feeling you got when you left our
restaurant we're trying to have fun here
we want to welcome you in serve you some
good food and have a real conversation
with you
[Music]
so yeah I have old Lauren's name
tattooed on my ass but it only says
Lauren it doesn't say the last name
which would be weird it's time to
signify new Lauren rather than just
Lauren so now it says new Lauren on my
ass it has a little arrow to where it
says Lauren that's really more with my
hip because the guy who tattooed my ass
was kind of whiner and he didn't want to
like touch my butt too much which i
think is ridiculous and unprofessional
