The Camellia Grill is a landmark diner in the Carrollton section of New Orleans. It is on Carrollton Avenue near its intersection with St. Charles Avenue on the St. Charles Streetcar line. The Camellia Grill opened in 1946.〔Kerri McCaffety, Peggy Scott Laborde, ''Etouffée, Mon Amour: The Great Restaurants of New Orleans'' (Pelican Publishing Company, 2002), ISBN 978-1565549265, pp. 128-129. (Excerpts available ) at Google Books.〕 Despite suffering little physical damage, the restaurant was closed after Hurricane Katrina until April 2007, when it reopened under new ownership.〔( "Camellia Grill to open this week" ), ''Times-Picayune'', April 16, 2007.〕〔("Happy day for New Orleans diners reopening" ), Associated Press in ''The Charleston Gazette'', April 21, 2007 .〕 During this period of closure, the Camellia Grill's front door was festooned with hundreds of notes from locals and tourists who missed it.〔Craig LaBan, ("New Orleans restaurants on the rebound" ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', August 28, 2006 .〕 The restaurant only offers counter service and its staff is usually gregarious. It is well known for its long-serving waiters, the most famous of whom was probably Harry Tervalon, Sr., who was the first waiter hired in 1946, and who even after his 1996 retirement remained associated with the restaurant (including cutting the ribbon when the Grill finally reopened after Katrina), until his death in August 2007.〔James O'Byrne, ("Legendary Camellia Grill Waiter Dies" ), ''Times-Picayune'', August 23, 2007.〕 The restaurant was purchased in 2006 by local restaurateur Hicham Khodr, who later opened a branch in the French Quarter (as well as a now-closed branch in Destin, Florida). In May 2012, a state court ruled that Khodr was in breach of his licensing agreement with the former owner, and this ruling was upheld on appeal in May 2013, meaning that Khodr could be required to change the name of the restaurants.〔Richard A. Webster, ("Camellia Grill may have to change its name after court ruling" ), ''Times-Picayune'', May 8, 2013.〕 ==Dishes== The establishment is noted for such casual cuisine as giant omelettes, cheeseburgers, "freezes," and pecan pie heated on the grill. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camellia Grill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
