The restaurant is a family venture that will be owned by Don Turner, according to Jennifer Roberts, Turner’s niece who helps operate the food truck.
The tentative schedule for the food-truck’s operations — as long as weather permits — is Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday noon to 6 p.m., Robert said.

If all goes well, the new restaurant should open in a few months, Roberts said. The Bourbon Bayou Bistro food truck was launched earlier this year.
“We cant wait to bring our full Cajun menu out when we get completely in our new building,” Roberts said on the food truck’s Facebook page.
