Fat Calf Brasserie Celebrates 7 Years of Culinary Excellence

If there is one thing I will never get tired of shouting from the rooftops, it’s my love for the local chefs and restaurants putting Shreveport-Bossier on the national food map. We are so lucky to have some seriously talented culinary minds making huge splashes right here in our community.

Right in the heart of Highland, there’s one specific corner that has had us all completely obsessed. When Fat Calf Brasserie earned national recognition from USA Today as one of the best places to eat in America, local foodies experienced a moment of hilarious panic. Our favorite neighborhood spot was already packed, and now getting a table meant planning days in advance! But seeing our local culinary heroes win big is always a reason to celebrate.

The owners recently marked a huge milestone, 7 years of serving up unforgettable meals, and shared a touching post honoring their journey and the community:

"Happy 7 years of Fat Calf Brasserie! Seven years ago today, we opened our doors for the very first time. While some things have changed along the way, so much of what makes Fat Calf special remains the same. This past year was certainly one of our toughest, but here we are! I’m incredibly grateful for my mom, our dedicated team who have given their all through so much change, and our loyal guests who keep coming back. We’re proud of what we’ve built, and because of our incredible team and supportive community, we’re not ready to stop. It’s been a tough season for many of our locally owned restaurants, so please get out and show your favorites some love. We love being part of this community, and we’d sure love to be here for another seven years. Thank you, Shreveport-Bossier and the many friends who have made Fat Calf a stop on their travels."

Having dined there more times than I can count, I can guarantee you that the hype is 100% real. Having spots like Fat Calf in our neighborhood makes our city so vibrant.

As the restaurant industry navigates tough seasons, let’s make it a priority to pack the house, order dessert, and support the local gems that make Shreveport-Bossier an incredible place to live and eat!
