TUJAGUE'S TURNS BACK THE CLOCK WITH A SPECIAL TASTE OF 1982
THROWBACK EXPERIENCE HONORING STEVEN LATTER'S LEGACY
This summer, Tujague's, the second-oldest restaurant in New Orleans, invites guests to step back in time and experience the restaurant as it was in 1982, the year Steven Latter purchased the historic French Quarter institution and began a new chapter in its storied history.
Led today by Steven's son, Mark Latter, Tujague's is introducing a special throwback Taste of 1982 menu inspired by the dining experience guests enjoyed when Steven took ownership more than four decades ago.
Launching on Monday, July 6th, Available through Friday, July 31st, and priced at just $26 per person (excluding beverage, tax, and gratuity), the four-course menu will feature classic selections reminiscent of the original offerings served during that era. To further recreate the experience, guests will receive reproductions of the actual 1982 menus and wine lists that were once handed to diners at their tables. These keepsake menus may be taken home as a souvenir of the occasion. Menu highlights will include:
1st Course Demi Shrimp Remoulade
2nd Course Demi Gumbo
3th Course
Choice of:
● ½ Chicken Bonne Femme
● Brisket Entrée
● Paneed Pork Entrée
4th Course Bread Pudding served with a demi Grasshopper
The nostalgic experience extends to the wine list as well, with select bottles offered at a special throwback price of $19 each.
"1982 was a pivotal year for our family and for Tujague's," says Mark Latter. "We recently uncovered original menus and wine lists from the time my father took over the restaurant, and it inspired us to recreate that experience for a new generation of guests while honoring the memories of those who were there."
Throughout the promotion, guests will be encouraged to share their personal memories of Tujague's and Steven Latter. Whether celebrating family traditions, special occasions, or stories from decades past, diners are invited to help preserve the rich history that has made Tujague's a beloved New Orleans landmark.
To make visiting even easier, Tujague's will also offer two-hour validated parking for guests participating in the promotion.
For generations, Tujague's has been a gathering place where memories are made, and traditions are passed down. This limited-time throwback experience offers both longtime patrons and first-time visitors the opportunity to relive a special moment in the restaurant's history, and perhaps create a few new memories of their own.
