Darold Gordon, Executive Chef and Owner of Big Easy Bar & Grill is from New Orleans and has been in Austin since 2008. He opened his East Austin restaurant 3 years ago.

For the past few months, we’ve been reporting on the rapidly changing neighborhood around 12th and Chicon streets in East Austin as part of our On My Block project.

Today, we hear from a local restaurant owner who’s bringing a taste of his hometown of New Orleans to the neighborhood. Darold Gordon owns Big Easy Bar & Grill near the corner of 12th and Chicon streets in East Austin.
