The Myth & Reality
The Myth and Reality Behind Sarah @ Serendipity
So it came to pass that a jolly, driven, crazy dreamer of a chef decided he needed more magic in his life. His life certainly had its share of thrilling food, great guests, a dedicated krewe, and the benefit of being located in New Orleans. But old dreamers endure their fair share of heartbreak, and sometimes a prayer to a sweet goddess might be your best bet!
Now there are many ways to access magic in New Orleans, from the prayers in our myriad churches, from our voudou traditions that permeate the very air of the city, from the raised graveyards to the living, sultry pace of the mighty Mississippi River nestling amidst curves and bends as it flows all of the American heartland in a sensual, upside-down twisting & turning, like reading the pages of the Fates, all the way down here to New Orleans along the river's way to the Gulf of Mexico. The old pirate town always harbors secrets & stolen wishes, copious contraband, and delicacies of every stripe...if you only know how to ask... The goddess, a sassy redhead who gives no quarter in her wanton ways, sidled up besides Chef one night, and said, "I heard you wanted to strike a deal?"
She's been around Nola a long time, and we keep swapping stories about this mysterious goddess who offers flashes of illumination; the bringer of bliss when u least expect it; the arranger of wrecks, collisions, and meant-to-be moments that never fade; the innocent instigator who weaves lives together; yes indeed, all telltale signs point to that mischief making goddess known to those who don't really know her as "that's Miz Dippity to you, pal," but to her intuitive devotees who listen for her sweet whisper that "this is the right place, at the perfect moment!" they know this goddess Serendipity simply by her first name: Sarah, Sara, or Sere.... Chef has seen her in action for some time, and Sarah seems eternally amused by his pirate's swashbuckling life in this modern, digital world.
Thus began the epic collaboration between the madman/chef/poet & the goddess Sarah to summon the spirits to build her namesake restaurant next to the old voodou stomping grounds alongside Bayou St. John, at 3700 Orleans Avenue, where resides Serendipity @American Can Co. The rest is history on the way, as all y'all in New Orleans & beyond are about to discover.
Chef Chris DeBarr has assembled an amazing team to bring the goddess her due with a glamorous supper club, a fun neighborhood joint, a daring adventure for committed gastronauts, and a place where talented people meet to conspire, inspire, and breathe in the charms of "that old black magic" only found when Serendipity is on the scene. As we say, Serendipity -- this'll be your New Orleans!
Soon, we will raise the curtain on this new adventure! Please stay tuned...
