The Times Picayune-New Orleans Advocate reported this week that a new food hall planned for the casino has confirmed three well-known residents: Bobby Flay’s Bobby’s Burgers the second location of Buddy Valastro’s PizzaCake and, for a local name, a restaurant from chef Nina Compton, to be called Nina’s Creole Cottage. At the same time, two of New Orleans’s three food halls, the months-old Hall on Mag and four-year-old Pythian Market, both closed in recent weeks.
As Harrah’s New Orleans gradually transforms into Caesars New Orleans - courtesy of a $325 million renovation - an ambitious, celebrity chef-driven food hall is also taking shape inside the casino.
