Chef & owner Louie Finnan first entered the restaurant business in 1980 with his mother - the original Redhead Lady, located on Hwy. 25. A New Orleans native, Louie was stirring the pots at 7 years old at a family spot located on Rampart Street, which his grandmother and uncle owned and operated. You might say Louie Finnan was "born" into cooking.

Louie's "professional" career, really took off when he moved, with his family to Michigan, (where he earned four stars from the Detroit Free Press). As operation Manager for a 98 Suite Hotel, Louie was able to develop his craft on a grand scale.

There is "no place like home" and returning home, Chef Louie was able to open a "New Louie & Redhead Lady" in 2001 and rekindle the flames. Serving up traditional "New Orleans" fare, po-boys, meatballs and spaghetti, crab cakes, veal parmigiano and adding breakfast to the menu, you might say he has come full circle.

From it's eclectic decor to it's electric atmosphere, Louie & the Redhead Lady is a fun and enjoyable way to begin or end your day!
