If you’re tired of the Freret Street pieces in your local media, I’ve got some bad news for you. I don’t think they’re going to slow down any time soon. It seems like as soon as one restaurant finishes its grand opening, festivities for the next new restaurant start up. This week’s opening is the Company Burger at 4600 Freret Street, started by local boy Adam Biderman. If you don’t happen to know Adam from his school boy days, you may be more familiar with his work at the 2011 Hogs for the Cause. Adam and the Company Burger Team took 1st place overall in the Porkpourri category.
The first full day for the Company Burger is going to be Wednesday August 17th, but the buzz from the Sunday and Monday soft openings have been pretty stellar. At Sunday’s industry night, the praise was not only high, but it came from some people who know a thing or two about food. Chef Tariq Hannah (of Sucre) gushed about the burger, the Taceaux Loceaux folks were digging the pork belly corn dog, while others raved on the onion rings.
Hey, don’t want to believe them? Good, check out the menu and see for yourself starting Wednesday at 11:00 a.m.!
