EAT

If you ever have been through the doors at 416 Chartres you will know what I am writing about! Pardon me while I reminisce back to 1979 when K-Paul's opened as a famous Louisiana Kitchen! They did not take reservations at the time, resulting in long lines forming quickly. Customers amused themselves with drinks in their hands and exchanges of lively conversation. You could really stand in line for hours so you had to drum up Quarter talk. I think at one time everybody had a shot of the stuffed moose on a near by balcony. It was a perfect Quarter icon sporting Mardi Gras beads around his neck. By the time you were at the front of the line you bonded with everyone...it was a perfect line party. Now of course they have reservations and take credit cards, but they stopped giving stars stuck to your cheek if you cleaned your plate. That was a clear sign you ate at K-Paul's!! It is their 30th year feeding a city that is in love with the word EAT. Thank-you K-Paul's for the food and the memories!!
