Soupçon: Louisiana Food News for September
In downtown Jackson, Mississippi, The Mayflower Cafe has stood sentry for almost a century now, making it one of the oldest restaurants in the state. Opened in 1935 by Greek immigrants George Kountouris and John Gouras as a hamburger joint and beer garden, it has since earned the status of a grand dame, known for its distinctive Mississippi classics-meets-Greek delights menu and featured nationally on Food Network’s Sauced, Ghosts of Mississippi, and The Help. In recent years, rumors have been percolating about the restaurant’s closure, but earlier this year came the announcement that the legacy would live on, now in the hands of James Beard Award-winning Jackson chef Hunter Evans, who also owns Elvie’s down the street. Evans has promised that the iconic restaurant’s character will go unchanged, with new developments carefully inspired and informed by the Mayflower’s illustrious history. One change customers can look forward to is a committed-to-fresh approach on the seafood menu, translating Evans’s commitment at Elvie’s to sourcing locally whenever possible. As of press-time, the Mayflower was set to open in late August. themayflowercafe.com.
