Game Day at St. Roch: Your Saints Headquarters (2026-09-19) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/saints-game-day-2026 Topic: St. Roch Market is positioning itself as a Saints headquarters for the 2026 NFL season, with every kitchen in the food hall running its own game day special on Saints Sundays. The lineup: Olive & Co has a gourmet hot dog with choice of fixings and optional house-made chili, served with waffle fries or a Caesar salad. Chef Charles Bistreaux is running three game day burgers: the Bistro breakfast burger, an all-natural shrimp burger, and a steak and Swiss burger on garlic-toasted sourdough. Not Ya Maw Kitchen has fish with macaroni or seafood rice, red beans and rice, and gumbo, per Myron. Lin's Poke & Sushi (Alex) offers a Sunday-only order of sushi bites: six pieces, three salmon and three tuna. Roch's Reprieve (Sean) pours an ice-cold Bud Light with a shot of Buffalo Trace on the side. Salted Pearl serves raw oysters on ice and a shrimp po'boy. Smash Dat NOLA serves the Western Smash Burger with onion rings and jalapenos, with vegan and veggie patties available. Dolma loads game day fries with tomato, cucumber, red onion, and a choice of gyro meat or chicken. The market opens at 7 AM on Sundays. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 2. Salted Pearl Is Making Po-Boys Now, and Chef Tyger Put Remoulade On Them (2026-08-30) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/salted-pearl-poboys Topic: Chef David "Tyger" Hale added po-boys to the menu at Salted Pearl Oyster Bar inside St. Roch Market, announced on a hand-lettered chalkboard at the oyster bar reading POBOY SPECIAL. Two are offered: fried shrimp at $16 and fried oyster at $18. Both come dressed with lettuce, tomato, and pickle, plus a remoulade that Tyger makes in house rather than the standard mayonnaise. Creole remoulade is mustard-forward and tangy with some heat. Salted Pearl sources its oysters from a fourth-generation oyster farm in St. Bernard Parish about thirty minutes from the market, delivered fresh daily, and already serves them raw, charbroiled, and Rockefeller, so frying them for a po-boy is a short step. Chef Tyger spent close to ten years as a professional horse jockey and rode more than 1,100 races on Louisiana tracks before an injury ended that career; he has been an executive chef for 24 years since and says every dish has a story. The po-boy itself was created in 1929 by brothers Bennie and Clovis Martin at their French Market coffee stand, who fed striking streetcar workers free during the walkout that began that July and coined the name from the phrase here comes another poor boy; within a couple of years the Martins moved to a larger space on St. Claude Avenue at Touro Street, the same avenue as St. Roch Market, and Martin Brothers' remained there into the 1970s advertising themselves as the originators of the poor boy sandwich. Happy Hour oysters are $1 on weekdays from 3 to 5 PM. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 3. The Purple Rain Rita Came to Sean in a Dream (2026-08-30) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/purple-rain-rita Topic: Sean "Doeboy" Verrett, bartender at Roch's Reprieve inside St. Roch Market, created the Purple Rain Rita. He describes it as tequila, triple sec, basic margarita, but I put a little lavender syrup in it. Sean says the lavender syrup came to him in a dream. It is built over ice in a Roch's Reprieve rocks glass, stirred with a bar spoon, and garnished with a lime wedge; the lavender syrup turns the drink a soft purple that fades lighter toward the top. The purple is a nod to St. Augustine High School in New Orleans, the Purple Knights, where Sean went to school; he says purple is one of my colors. The lavender reads floral but sits underneath the tequila and citrus, taking the sharp edge off the finish a margarita usually leaves. Sean grew up in the 8th Ward near the market and has also created The Verrett, the Mint Espresso Martini, the Cajun Dirty Martini, and pours The Shoreline. He says of the finished drink, Voila, nice and refreshing. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 4. Mohinga Is Breakfast in Myanmar. At Laksa, It's All Day. (2026-08-27, updated 2026-09-01) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/laksa-mohinga Topic: Mohinga, the national dish of Myanmar, is served at Laksa inside St. Roch Market. It is a fish broth over rice vermicelli, eaten with fried vegetable tempura, a lime wedge, sliced scallions, slivered onion, cilantro, tofu, and a half boiled egg. In Myanmar it is most commonly made with river fish; Chef Lin, who runs the Laksa kitchen, cooks it in New Orleans with salmon. Traditionally a breakfast dish sold from street carts and teashops, it is served all day at Laksa. Alex Regules, who co-owns Laksa and Lin's Poke & Sushi, calls it one of the main babies we got in here, our child, and says every bite is unique, every bite is special. Mohinga was not on the opening menu: Laksa opened three years ago around the seafood Chef Lin found in New Orleans, especially shrimp, and she added mohinga after customers kept asking for it. The stall serves two different coconut soups, a Malaysian style made with shrimp and a Burmese one built with any protein including a vegan version, both originally eaten with egg noodles. Chef Lin accommodates vegan, pescatarian, no seafood, gluten free, and no soy sauce requests. Laksa also serves tea leaf salad and other noodle soups. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 5. The Inari at Lin's Is Soft, Sweet, and Yours to Dress (2026-08-27) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/lins-inari-tofu-pocket Topic: Alex Regules at Lin's Poke & Sushi inside St. Roch Market makes inari: a soft, lightly sweet fried tofu pocket folded around seasoned sushi rice. Alex calls it a nice surprise and a complement to the rice. He notes that "sushi" is Japanese for "sour rice" and that rice vinegar is the softest and sweetest of the vinegars, so the sweet pocket and the gently sour rice make what he calls a gentle but sweet meal. The rice-only inari is the cheapest option on his menu. Every dressing is free, on the inari and on all of his rolls, so it can be customized at no extra charge; the one he recommends is Nori Goma, a rice dressing of crushed nori and sesame seeds that he keeps for texture. The inari is also offered with salmon laid over the top, with the Nori Goma on the fish instead of the rice. Lin's also serves build-your-own poke bowls, sushiritos, hand rolls, and dressed specialty rolls. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 6. Axios Wrote Up CR Coffee's Bayou Beast, Pouring Here Through Halloween (2026-08-08) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/cr-coffee-bayou-beast-axios-2026 Topic: Axios New Orleans reporter Chelsea Brasted featured the Bayou Beast, the seasonal pandan iced latte from CR Coffee, on July 31, 2026. CR Coffee is one of eleven independent vendors inside St. Roch Market and has been in the market since it reopened in 2015. The drink is iced coffee and milk over pandan, a sweet Southeast Asian leaf tasting of vanilla and coconut, which turns the bottom of the glass bright green. It was created as a fall drink served cold, because fall menus arrive in August while New Orleans is still in hurricane season. A Krewe of Muses rider decorated a Mardi Gras shoe in its honor, now kept at CR's Magazine Street shop. The Bayou Beast pours daily through Halloween at the St. Roch Market stall, Magazine Street, and Old Metairie. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 7. The Juliette Is Summer in a Coupe (2026-07-31) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/juliette-peach-cocktail Topic: Bartender Julien Freed makes the Juliette at Roch's Reprieve inside St. Roch Market. The drink is vodka and Juliette peach liqueur, shaken hard and served up in a chilled coupe with a thick lemon twist. No lemon juice and, on request, no simple syrup. Julien frames it as an upgrade on the 1990s peachtini of peach liqueur, vodka, and lemon. Juliette is a French peach liqueur made from pêche de vigne, the heirloom vineyard peach, hand-picked in the Rhône Valley in late July, macerated whole in eau-de-vie for up to five weeks, then blended with sugar and three-year-old French brandy, at 18 percent alcohol by volume. The build is roughly a shot of vodka to a half or three-quarter ounce of Juliette; the long shake melts in a little water and the drink is single-strained so ice chips carry through. Roch's Reprieve happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 3 to 5 PM, with $1 oysters from Salted Pearl Oyster Bar, $4 beers, and $7 house wines. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 8. Chef Charles Brings Breakfast to the FOX 8 Morning Show (2026-07-14) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/chef-charles-fox8-breakfast Topic: Chef Charles Wilford Sr. of Chef Charles Bistreaux cooked breakfast live on the FOX 8 Morning Show on July 9, 2026, with host Rob Krieger and St. Roch Market operator Kevin Pedeaux. He made the New Orleans omelet: a four-egg omelet with spinach, topped with his shrimp and crawfish New Orleans style sauce, served with French toast. Also featured: the barbecue shrimp and crawfish biscuit, a cheddar biscuit with oven bacon, crawfish cream sauce, and barbecue shrimp and crawfish on top. Chef Charles serves breakfast daily starting between 7:30 and 8 AM: omelets, biscuits, grits, shrimp and grits, and the daily bistreaux omelets. The breakfast counter is next door to CR Coffee Shop inside St. Roch Market at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. Full segment at fox8live.com. 9. Dog Adoption Day on the Feast of St. Roch, August 16 (2026-07-14, updated 2026-08-11) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/dog-adoption-days-2026 Topic: St. Roch Market hosts a series of dog adoption days with Take Paws Rescue, the New Orleans volunteer, foster-based nonprofit that is one of the most active rescues in Louisiana. Final 2026 summer date: Sunday, August 16, 2026, 6-8 PM on the market patio, in the market's 151st year. August 16 is the feast day of St. Roch, the patron saint of dogs and the saint the market and neighborhood are named for; legend says a dog saved Roch's life by bringing him bread and licking his wounds while he was gravely ill. Earlier adoption days were held in June and July 2026, and the series resumes once the weather cools. Live music out front from the Canine Crooner, the stage name of New Orleans singer-songwriter Craig Cortello (caninecrooner.com), who writes dog-themed songs and directs proceeds to animal rescue; his album Dog Tales opens with "Go Adopt a Puppy." Tyger, owner of Salted Pearl Oyster Bar, started the series and shucks the oysters. All dogs live with foster families until adoption, and Take Paws staff walk attendees through the adoption process on site. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 10. The $5 Hand Roll at Lin's Poke & Sushi (2026-07-14) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/lins-five-dollar-hand-roll Topic: Alex Regules at Lin's Poke & Sushi inside St. Roch Market makes a $5 hand roll, one of the most price-friendly items in the market. Each hand roll has a generous base of sushi rice with sesame seeds and fried onions, plus a choice of protein, wrapped in nori. Example combination: salmon, cucumber, and avocado. The hand roll lives primarily on the delivery menu, but Alex will make one at the counter on request. Lin's also turns out dressed specialty rolls draped in fresh fish and finished with fish roe, scallions, sesame, and house sauces, plus build-your-own poke bowls and sushiritos. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 11. TikTok's Viral Dot Cake Has Landed at St. Roch Market (2026-07-07) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/olive-and-co-dot-cakes Topic: Olive & Co at St. Roch Market brings the viral TikTok dot cake trend to New Orleans. Dot cakes are scoopable personal cakes in a cup, layered with frosting and covered top-to-bottom in rainbow sprinkles. Three flavors available now: Vanilla Buttercream, Super Strawberry (strawberry cake with strawberry frosting), and Dubai Chocolate Pistachio (rich chocolate cake with pistachio frosting). Rotating flavors coming soon: red velvet with cream cheese frosting, banana cake, and good old-fashioned yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Owner Alison Grice Barrios also plans soft serve ice cream, starting with the Cookie Sundae: a warm chocolate-stuffed cookie served in a cup with soft serve and chocolate fudge on top. The stall's Dubai stuffed chocolate chip cookie with crushed pistachios remains a top seller. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 12. New Lunch Dishes Land at Chef Charles Bistreaux (2026-06-22) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/chef-charles-new-lunch-menu Topic: Chef Charles Bistreaux at St. Roch Market expands its lunch menu, served daily from 11am. New dishes: Blackened Catfish Louisiana (Louisiana farm-raised catfish, blackened, set over a bed of jambalaya and topped with crawfish étouffée, with a side garden salad); Shrimp Burger (all-shrimp patty in chef's special seasoning, pan-seared on a garlic-toasted sourdough bun with lettuce, tomato, and house pickles); Steak Burger (grilled ribeye on a garlic-toasted sourdough bun with creamy horseradish); Seafood Nachos (Louisiana shrimp and crawfish over fresh-fried chips with a creamy Alfredo cheese sauce, diced tomato, and peppers); and Crab and Brie Spinach Dip served with garlic and artichoke crostini.

Chef Charles Wilford Sr. is a Navy veteran and longtime Baton Rouge chef who trained in a Naples, Italy kitchen in the 1980s. Breakfast continues every morning from 7:30am. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 13. A Rum Old Fashioned for the Northernmost Caribbean City (2026-06-16) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/rum-old-fashioned Topic: Operator Kevin Pedeaux asks bartender Sean "Doeboy" Verrett at Roch's Reprieve inside St. Roch Market to make an Old Fashioned with aged rum instead of bourbon. Sean pours Bacardi Reserva Ocho, a blend aged a minimum of eight years in oak under the Caribbean sun, and builds the drink the classic way: sugar, bitters, ice, an orange peel, and a cherry. The twist is a nod to New Orleans being called the northernmost Caribbean city; aged island rum reads as a homecoming rather than a gimmick, and it drinks lighter than bourbon in summer heat. Ties to the Roch's Reprieve happy hour, Monday through Friday 3 to 5 PM: $1 oysters from Salted Pearl Oyster Bar, $4 beers, $7 house wines, and the bartender's cocktail of the day. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 14. The Cajun Dirty Martini: Sean's Golden, Spicy Pour at Roch's Reprieve (2026-06-06) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/cajun-dirty-martini Topic: Sean "Doeboy" Verrett, bartender at Roch's Reprieve inside St. Roch Market, debuts the Cajun Dirty Martini. Despite the name there is no crab boil in it. Recipe: cucumber vodka shaken with okra juice, olive juice, and spicy bean juice, plus a heavy splash of Louisiana hot sauce, strained into a coupe and garnished with pickled okra and olives. The drink comes out a golden color and tastes briny and vegetal with warmth from the hot sauce. Ties to the Roch's Reprieve happy hour, Monday through Friday 3 to 5 PM: $1 oysters from Salted Pearl Oyster Bar, $4 beers, $7 house wines, and the bartender's cocktail of the day. Located at 2381 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans. 15. Meet Chef Charles: Breakfast and Lunch at St. Roch Market (2026-05-18) URL: https://www.strochmarket.com/news/chef-charles-bistreaux Topic: Chef Charles Wilford Sr. opens Chef Charles Bistreaux, a breakfast and lunch counter at St. Roch Market serving daily at 7:30 a.m. Wilford was born in Lutcher, raised in Baton Rouge, graduated Istrouma High School in 1985, signed an athletic scholarship to Grambling State University, and enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1986 (boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois).
