William J. Guste - Antoine's Restaurant

Antoine's Restaurant

Guste and his brother, Roy Francis Guste, Sr. (born 1924), were fourth generation proprietors of the elegant Antoine's Restaurant in New Orleans. Their two sons, cousins Roy F. Guste, Jr. (born 1951), and Bernard R. "Randy" Guste (born 1949), have split time serving the family as managers since the 1970s. The restaurant is known for many menu items, particularly Oysters Rockefeller, of which more than a million orders have been served since the business opened in the 19th century.

Famous quotes containing the words antoine and/or restaurant:

    the vagabond began
    To sketch a face that well might buy the soul of any man.
    Then, as he placed another lock upon the shapely head,
    With a fearful shriek, he leaped and fell across the
    picture—dead.
    —Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)

    In a restaurant one is both observed and unobserved. Joy and sorrow can be displayed and observed “unwittingly,” the writer scowling naively and the diners wondering, What the hell is he doing?
    David Mamet (b. 1947)
