Come Monday, Downtown Lafayette's newest restaurant could be open for business. Co-owner Penny Henry tells me Jefferson Orleans Seafood and Steaks could open as early as next week at the corner of Jefferson and Johnston. Fellow co-owner Aaron Ford will be the chef, and Henry tells me the duo plan to offer Kobe beef steaks - a delicacy that can be hard to find.
Jefferson Orleans follows Victor's, which closed within the year. Many other restaurants have tried to make this location work, and they have all failed. Henry says the restaurant plans to serve alcohol, but food will be the main focus.

I think the important thing for any business is a great product, with great service and good advertising. Just as Taco Sisters thrives where Jack's couldn't - this restaurant can only be successful as it's food. It's not the fault of the corner so much as the approach that previous businesses took.
