#SpoCOOL: French Quarter Click it!
By Remi | Oct 25, 2008 | 2 ResponsesA French inspired gourmet boutique in a salon? Not a bad idea at all, and one that owners Stacy Blowers and DeVerne Augustus are betting on will work. And having recently visited the Carnegie Square shop, I don’t see why it wouldn’t.
French Quarter, much like OMO, offers some pretty friggin’ awesome hand rolled truffles. Made using Guittard chocolate, the truffles come in unique flavors like toasted chipotle and tawny port. I kid you not. Being the basic, down to earth guy I am, I still have to give props to the honeycomb truffle, however. My one regret was not enjoying it with a cognac, which it would have paired perfectly with.
We also picked up a homemade three-berry jam, which somewhat ironically went really well on a shortbread from OMO. I call that fusion cuisine.
French Quarter will offer both wines and cheeses in November. All in all it’s a pretty awesome addition to the west side of downtown. Make sure to give them a visit; they’re open Tuesday through Saturday, 9am-6pm.
