The grass is greener

Now that the holidays have passed and you’ve been inspired all over again by Mom’s cooking, local tech guru Logan Leger—featured in our May 2012 cover story on entrepreneurs—has released a new app for Apple devices called Extreme Cajun Cooking (extremecajuncooking.com). The Louisiana-inspired app contains photos, recipes, techniques and a handy check-off grocery list for bringing the area’s legendary dishes into the information age.

Downtown will be getting more deliveries this month thanks to the soon-to-be open Prescriptions to Geaux, a new pharmacy you can read more about in this issue, and a new location of chain poboy shop Jimmy Johns (jimmyjohns.com), also on Third Street, near Boudreaux & Thibodaux’s.

The new Baton Rouge location for iconic New Orleans eatery Galatoire’s Bistro (galatoiresbistro.com) has opened on Perkins Road at Acadian Thruway, offering fine dining and south Louisiana favorites in an upscale setting. New Orleans native Dr. Barrett Johnston has opened the Interventional Pain Institute for pain management and physical therapy in Baton Rouge as well as the Rejuve Med Spa (rejuvemedicalspa.com) for anti-aging and skin care treatments, both located on Jefferson Highway near Bluebonnet Boulevard.

Renovations at Repentance Park are nearing completion. The $3.5 million project now connects River Road and North Boulevard Town Square with new green spaces and water features.
