I received this email recently from Karen and Chef Horst Pfeifer who own and operate Middendorf's in Pass Manchac:
We may not have much say in the choice of calling our devastating economic situation a bailout or rescue, but you still have your say in whether you want the THICK OR THIN at MIDDENDORF’S and you’ll have it soon. In less than 7 days, on Wednesday, October 8 we will re-open at 10:30 am. We will be returning to our normal hours of operation, 10:30 am – 9:00 pm and to our normal schedule, Wednesday through Sunday.
Returning to work means more than income for most of the staff, the management and Horst and I. I found out with Katrina that I like rules, regularity and consistency in my life. I’m not as carefree as I always thought I was. All we want is to be able to offer our family of employees, our staff an opportunity to get back to what we and they considered normal (but really what is normal?). We miss them, we miss our customers, their stories, their love of Middendorf’s. I can’t wait to hug our first customer and thank them for their loyalty.
Please help us get the word out to the world, our world, here in South Louisiana. Let them know that we are back and truly look forward to working, to serving them, to creating more memories for years to come.
We are still working on the plans for the original building and will keep everyone informed as we move forward with the big decisions that lie ahead. Please know that our goal is to continue with the tradition of Middendorf’s, not only the food but the ambiance and décor. Cypress wall, cypress knees, etc, etc will all be a part of the rebuild.
We look forward to seeing you at Middendorf’s. Say hello when you come and thank you for your support over the last 5 ½ weeks.
God Bless,
Karen & Horst Pfeifer
