VISIT: Raise your hand if you remember the beloved family restaurant Constantin’s on Oak Street? Its getting a reboot thanks to Patti Constantin’s son, Packy. Beginning Monday, February 3rd, 131 Nursery Avenue in Old Metairie will be the place to have lunch on Monday and Tuesday. Don’t expect white table cloths just yet, its good ole NOLA style with a pick up window. We’re not exactly sure what’s on the menu, but Packy says you can get a taste of what’s to come TODAY at Gumbo Gras in Audubon Park where he’ll be concocting an amazing gluten free seafood gumbo available for sampling from noon on. Follow @patticonstantin and @bangerang_kitchen and of course @tsgneworleans to stay up to date on the reboot of Constantin’s...we can’t wait!
