This Black History Month, we are highlighting black-owned businesses in the area who continue to contribute to our communities. The Remnant of Nawlins has been in Bryan for a decade, and the owner, Korey Thomas, is sharing the cuisine and culture of New Orleans with the Brazos Valley.
- Thomas says the food and culture in his restaurant are the same as in New Orleans.
- The Cajun cuisine is just a part of the greater Cajun culture.
BROADCAST SCRIPT:
“When I’m in New Orleans when I was back home, we never really referred to it as Cajun food, it was just the food — I really gravitated to the concept of Cajun when I got away from Louisiana,” Korey Thomas said.
Thomas is a New Orleans native, a BCS transplant, a cook, and a restaurant owner serving Cajun food — or as he says it, just food, in the spirit of the Big Easy.
“When I’m at work, we tried to set the culture to be like how it would be if we were in New Orleans, more personal, so I get a chance to mingle with our customers,” Thomas said.
