We’ve given this assemblage the moniker, “Mélange,” reflecting the combination of flavors and ingredients offered by each layer. As a nod to the culinary traditions of New Orleans and the legendary chefs who have left their mark on its kitchens, our Shrimp Étouffée and Creamy Grits with Grilled Eggplant Mélange marries classic ingredients and flavors that have captivated palates for generations.

This dish draws inspiration from the esteemed Paul Prudhomme and other notable chefs from iconic Louisiana establishments. It heralds the essence of shrimp étouffée and indulgent, comforting grits, while the addition of smoky grilled eggplant adds a welcome depth of flavor, elevating the traditional concept of "shrimp and grits” to new heights. With this Creole creation, we aim to capture the brilliance and spirit of renowned New Orleans chefs, creating an epicurean experience that pays homage to their artistry and the emblematic flavors of this cuisine.
