New Orleans’ black-owned restaurants have faced an uphill battle the last couple years. The COVID-19 pandemic took customers and workers, but now we can all smell a comeback.
Or is that a new restaurant opening: Vaucresson Creole Café & Deli. The brand is actually a new concept from the Vaucresson Sausage Co., which has operated throughout three generations in the historic 7th Ward of New Orleans.
The eatery recently opened for business with the help of the Black Restaurant Accelerator (BRA), a joint initiative of the National Urban League and the PepsiCo Foundation.
The entities partnered to give black-owned restaurants a monetary boost in the arm. Part of that is represented by PepsiCo’s $400 million Racial Equality Journey commitments, the BRA has pledged a five-year, $10 million investment from the PepsiCo Foundation in partnership with the National Urban League to preserve and support Black-owned restaurants.
In addition to operating as a local deli, Vaucresson offers delivery around New Orleans as well as ships to anywhere in the US. You can order product to be shipped or delivered by visiting the website www.vaucressonsausage.com.
