Our Local Green Sustainable Restaurant in Destrehan
Chef Edward Rhinehart purchased the old Migliore Food Store on River Road in Destrehan in the spring of 2007. The old store had been sitting Vacant since Katrina. Though the Store was not harmed by the storm the owner passed away soon after and the family decided to sell the property.
The Old Store is a special place to locals and tourist alike. Famous for their hot roast beef and other fresh sandwiches from the deli.
Chef Ed and his wife did not let this Land Mark pass them by. The first major task was removing an old fuel tank (UST) that was out side to service automobiles in the past. After some time the tank was removed and the land was deemed safe and clean.
Step two was to design a restaurant were the store and living area of the past residence existed. The theme was to create a beautiful restaurant yet respect the buildings past.
Very Early on Chef Ed decided to Go-Green with the project, recycling wood nails metal and groovy artifacts found in the building for decoration. Central Air is only ran to rooms were guest frequent and the walls were well insulated and sealed off from exterior conditions. Keeping the Entergy bill low and using as little resources as possible. A Wood Burning Grill is used daily wood is recycled and often Donated from the community.
Food waste is saved with other biodegradable waste to feed our compost pile. The compost will be used in the gardens on the property. Other vegetables are supplied by local farmers and local organizations.
Chefeds grease waste is picked up by a local man who converts the oil for bio diesel.
Bamboo Flooring was used threw-out most of the building. Bamboo re-grows much faster and less pesticides and chemicals are used from growth to finished product. Many more energy efficient efforts are taken daily from the lights to the garden.
