Cafe Rue Orleans- Maudie Schmitt

What this episode covers

On this week’s edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas, we hop down to Fayetteville to talk to the venerable Maudie Schmitt at Café Rue Orleans. Maudie had a full career in Louisiana and retired before coming to Fayetteville and getting in the restaurant business. How did she end up here? Not only was Café Rue Orleans her first restaurant, it was her first restaurant JOB. How has it been a success for so long? She’ll tell us. Also, you may see a for lease sign in her building when you drive by. Don’t worry, she’s open, but she’ll address that as well. Family recipes, opening the doors for the first time, surviving covid, oh…and being a contestant on Supermarket Stakeout on the Food Network?!?! That and so much more… We hope you check it out and let us know what you think on Facebook, Instagram or email ([email protected]).
