From The Ground Up - Dearman's Soda Shop

Dearman’s Soda Shop – Back In Business since 2017

In 1958, a small town pharmacy transformed itself into what is now the famous Dearman’s Soda Shop. Known for their classic burgers, fries and fantastic shakes Dearman’s has always and will forever be a local favorite. Whether you are looking for a great place to eat or an enjoyable atmosphere, Dearman’s is the place for you.  They not only pride themselves on their delicious food but also their welcoming and helpful staff that keep the place in good spirits. I sat down with Dearmans manager, Casey who has been with the restaurant for the last 13 years. Casey spoke about how “the name Dearman’s itself carries so much weight that little to no advertising is needed.”
The locals’ love for Dearman’s continues to last even after 6o years in business.  So, it was not shocking when Dearman’s found itself having the communities full support when a fire broke out in 2016. To everyone’s dismay, it was a long and winding road to get it back on its feet...but…
On December 17, 2017, Dearman’s opened its doors with an over whelming amount of love and support from the local community.  Casey said “locals were standing outside waiting for us to open that day, even though it was a raining people still came around.”  So don’t be shy folks! Go visit your local businesses today because I PROMISE you will not be disappointed.

From The Ground Up - Brew-Ha Ha

Happy Birthday Brew Haha!
What started off as a simple coffee shop opened by Gabby Higgins in Mid Town, Baton Rouge on September 11, 2004 has now turned into a local favorite. So, buckle your seatbelts ladies and gentlemen! You’re about to meet one of the most determined, strong-willed and charismatic women working in Baton Rouge’s businesses. Gabby sat down with us to talk new upcoming plans, the benefits of hard work in the business and most importantly...cake balls. When Gabby opened the coffee shop she was determined to find a catchy name that was suitable for her business. After going through the options she came to the conclusion that Brew Ha-Ha was the perfect fit, and indeed it was. Locals from all over the city travel to Brew for a good cup of coffee, conversation, art and can I say it again? Cake balls. As said by Gabby “we are known for our cake balls, they really put us on the map.” The loyal employees Gabby likes to call “Bots” have really helped establish the wonderful reputation this shop has. Gabby’s love for her store showed throughout the entire interview with her winning smile and dedication. Congratulations to Gabby on her achievement of creating one of the most loved coffee spots in all of Baton Rouge. It truly is a gem.
