Du Jour: Mike Anderson Jr. and Dustin Loveless, Mike Anderson’s Seafood

This spring, prom-goers, graduates and scads of LSU baseballs fans will pour into Mike Anderson’s Seafood (Map it!), which re-opened in late March after a fire in December. The restaurant was founded more than 30 years ago as a small café and seafood market by former All-American LSU football player, Mike Anderson, who still drops by most days to check on things. Behind the helm for the last 8-10 years is Anderson’s son, Mike Jr., and General Manager Dustin Loveless. The two recently oversaw the restoration of the popular eatery after an arsonist set it on fire in mid-December. The damage was extensive and the restaurant was shuttered during its busiest season.
