Рет қаралды 5,430
7 жыл бұрынJohn Fontenot has been a waiter at Galatoire's in New Orlenas since 1967.
He is from Cajun country and spoke French before English. He still has an accent. If you ask him why he stays in job, he'll tell you that it's because he likes people. Even if they don't like him.
The waiters at Galatoire's, a French Creole bistro on Bourbon Street, have a special relationship with their customers. The regulars have their own waiters and ask for them by name. And the waiters often know the regulars' orders by heart.
In 2017, Galatoire's was nominated for a James Beard Award for outstanding service. In 2005, it won the James Beard Award for outstanding restaurant in the nation.

Fontenot has been my waiter for 40+ years. It is a family affair along with Bryant, Lindsey, Reggie, Shelly, Charlie, Joe, Arnold, Gooch, Melvin and the whole crew. Me and my HC and College friends have been lunching there since the 70's, can't wait to return.

Fantastic interview. Glad you are recovering so nicely. My Mother’s family are Soileaus from Villegas’s Platte, related to Fontenots and LaFleurs.

From the bayou? What’s that suppose to mean? Nearly everyone from Louisiana was born on or close to a bayou
