Times of Acadiana "Tales From the Kitchen"

From the August 20, 2009, issue of the Times of Acadiana:

Jolie’s is the latest restaurant by Steve Santillo; the other being the Blue Dog Café a few blocks away, with both containing George Rodrigue artwork. The building that Jolie’s occupies used to be the original Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, a gentleman’s club and a couple of other restaurants Rodrigue was known to frequent while keeping an eye on his first gallery across the street. People still wonder about the gentleman’s club, said Santillo, even though the current Jolie’s is nothing but elegance. Santillo also mentioned that the Blue Dog Café used to be the oilfield hangout, and when Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward were filming The Drowning Pool in Lafayette, “they had a corner where they ate every day,” he said.
