From ‘Daily Report’: Jolie Pearl joins White Star Market food hall


Buoyed by the success of their downtown spot since opening in 2014, the owners of Jolie Pearl Oyster Bar will be opening a second location, albeit a slimmed-down version, in the White Star Market in the Square 46 development on Government Street.

Jolie Pearl co-owner Eric Carnegie says it was an easy decision to join the gourmet food hall when White Star Market owner Clark Gaines approached them about four to six months ago.

The new location will be called Jolie @ The Market, and the menu will feature many Southern favorites like fried oyster and fried shrimp po-boys, sliders and, of course, charbroiled and raw oysters. Carnegie says the new location will probably feature about six to eight different options for toppings, like the Asian, Brie and Bacon, and Bleu Cheese.

Jolie Pearl joins local celebrity chef Jay Ducote as the first two tenants announced for White Star Market, a gourmet food hall similar to St. Roch Market in New Orleans.
