Authentic Cajun cuisine
Pot & Paddle Jambalaya Kitchen is a “fast, casual” Cajun restaurant chain that offers freshly prepared, authentic Cajun cuisine with all meals, meals and catering. Pot & Paddle was founded by Chuck Lavigne in 2014 and continues to expand. There are plans to open new locations across South Louisiana and beyond.
As a former restaurant owner, Chuck has served Louisiana locals and visitors alike with freshly made, authentic Cajun dishes for nearly a decade. In 2006 he bought his first Cajun restaurant.
With minimal capital, a dream, and a lot of hard work, Chuck managed to triple his sales and grow his business into one of the top-selling Jambalaya restaurants in the Baton Rouge area with a loyal customer base.
In December 2013, Chuck’s restaurant was destroyed by fire. Unimpressed and optimistic, Chuck decided to turn his misfortune into an opportunity by using his proven best practices to grow his business. Today Chuck does just that! He is currently the co-owner and operator of two new Pot & Paddle Jambalaya Kitchen locations.
