It was widely reported last week that New Orleans-style eatery Lagniappe closed its doors. The Alberta Street location will soon be taken over by a new restaurant called Rock’s, which will serve American roadside diner food with extended late-night hours.

This is no consolation to the city’s lovers of Louisiana cuisine. However, there is a crescent-shaped light on the horizon. A new eatery called My Brother’s Crawfish is opening in the Universal Shopping Center near SE Divison and 82nd. The kitchen, naturally, puts emphasis on crawfish, with jambalaya, gumbo, and beignets also on the menu (check it out here). They’re hoping to open their doors on March 1st, a little too late for Mardi Gras, but still very welcome.

(If you can’t wait that long to get some of My Brother’s Crawfish, you could always get it from Katy McMalone, the slutty girl next door… sorry, bad joke.)
