As hot and home-style as authentic New Orleans cuisine, Bourbon n’ Toulouse has been serving Lexingtonians and UK students Bayou bliss since 2004. B n’ T is no stranger to many people in the area, but how is it that Lexington landed its own slice of New Orleans?
“We went into it thinking, ‘we’re not gonna make it,’” said owner Will Pieratt. “We thought it would be fun to try, a good story to tell our kids about someday.” Fast forward 11 years and they’re still here serving tasty meals on the daily.
But funding the startup was no small task, Pieratt said.
