ABOUT US

We'd like to introduce you to our head chef & owner Ray! Raymond Brunet was born in Bayou Dularge Louisiana. His dad and his grandfather were both commercial fishermen; crabbing, crawfishing, and Po Pierreing “a type of shrimping”. As a young boy he would go on the boat with his dad, his grandfather, and worked as a dockhand at the famous Jug Head Seafood. Food is what brought the family together. That is what developed his love of cooking at a very young age. By the time he was 12 he was boiling sea food for the family. His grandparents noticed his passion and made sure to pass down their recipes. In 2005 he graduated high school half a year early to join the US Army. While in the Army, he was with the 82nd Airborne. Raymond was a paratrooper, and avionic technician, and served thirteen months in Afghanistan. In 2012 he graduated with honors from Ashford University, with a BA in Project Management with a concentration in organizational management. In 2021 he achieved a career course certification with Syracuse University focusing on Project management (PMP).

VETERAN OWNED

In 2022, he completed a Leadership development course with Syracuse University focused on: how to lead yourself, how to lead others, and how to lead your organization. Raymond Brunet was married to his beautiful wife Stacey in October 2021. They have 2 girls, Aubrey and Isabella, born 1 year and 2 days apart. He is active in the community as a project lead with the United States Veterans Corps. While with the United States Veterans Corps he was part of giving homes to veterans returning with Purple Hearts and wives of the fallen. He was also part of the United States Veterans Corps getting into the Guinness World Records for the most food, and then again for the most toys collected in 24 hours, all of which went back to veterans in need and their children. Raymond is always dedicated to anything he starts and never fails to finish with a bang

Houma-Thibodaux


Our dishes draw inspiration from the rich culinary traditions associated with the five main bayous that flow towards the Gulf of Mexico, specifically Dularge, Little Caillou, Grand Caillou, and Pointe-aux-Chênes. Each of these bayous likely has a unique blend of flavors and ingredients influenced by the local culture, history, and natural resources. These five main Houma Bayous contribute to the ecological and cultural tapestry of Louisiana, offering a glimpse into the diverse and dynamic nature of the state's bayou landscapes. These bayous are not only integral to the local fishing and shrimping industries but also serve as conduits for the unique Cajun culture that has flourished in this bayou-laden landscape. They embody the resilience and distinctiveness of Louisiana's coastal communities, reflecting a harmonious coexistence of nature and culture in this dynamic part of the state.
