When Nick Hufft announced he would be taking his talents to New Orleans, setting up the beloved Curbside Burgers inside Barcadia Bar and Grill, he knew he’d hear complaints from Capital City customers.
“It was a very tough decision,” he says. “[Baton Rouge] is where my business started and made its name. The only reason we agreed to go to New Orleans and set up with Barcadia is the opportunity to come back to Baton Rouge. From day one, we told Barcadia that we wanted to bring this to Baton Rouge. We knew this would blow up here.”
After getting Curbside up and running successfully in New Orleans, Hufft and Barcadia’s Louisiana operating partner Stan Ripp started looking at options here. In mid-February, Hufft confirmed via Facebook that Curbside Burgers would return as part of the new Baton Rogue Barcadia in the former Serranos at 3347 Highland Rd.
