April 18th, 2008: Camellia Grill coming to Perkins Rowe
Camellia Grill, a landmark New Orleans restaurant, plans to open its first Baton Rouge location in the Perkins Rowe development. No opening date has been announced for the restaurant, which specializes in burgers, omelets and pecan waffles, but officials say construction should begin soon. Camellia Grill owner Hicham Khodr told New Orleans CityBusiness last year that Baton Rouge and Florida locations were in the works. The original location at South Carrollton and St. Charles avenues reopened in April 2007, almost two years after Hurricane Katrina. The restaurant had no damage from the storm, but was in desperate need of updating, which delayed its reopening. While closed, hundreds of people left Post-It love notes on the restaurant’s white wooden front doors.
