DENHAM SPRINGS, La. — Chef Beaux Restaurant in Denham Springs marked a new chapter Thursday, cutting the ribbon on Chef Beaux 2 Geaux, a catering service built to deliver its all-original Cajun comfort foods and gourmet pizzas to events of any size. The June 19 celebration filled the restaurant at 240 Range 12 Blvd., Suite 109, with family, staff, longtime customers, and the food itself, a full spread of the dishes the new venture will bring to the community.
The restaurant was specially decorated for the event with classy black and gold accents that highlighted its uniquely timeless antique decor, along with glowing fairy lights strung around the walls of greenery and the latticework fences separating the community area from the kitchen.
The ceremony drew several community members eager to show their support, including Chef Beaux's family and staff, curious onlookers, longtime customers, and several staff members from the Livingston Parish Chamber of Commerce.
Beau Debetaz addressed the crowd to describe how thankful he is for all of their support and encouragement, highlighting the overwhelming assistance his family and staff have provided on his journey toward making this new chapter of his restaurant's story possible. The owner of Geisha Sushi, located at 240 Range 12 Blvd., Suites A&B, in Denham Springs, also attended and expressed support for Chef Beaux's continued success.
To extend the new venture's reach, Chef Beaux Restaurant is partnering with both Events at Serenity and Geisha.

Geisha provided a platter of raw and cooked sushi rolls, some with slices of fresh tuna and others with fish roe in rice, along with a large house salad with three different dressings.
Chef Beaux himself baked a large pan of decadently rich red velvet Oreo brownies that were a massive hit with attendees, a sweet way to end the taste-testing portion of the ceremony.
