About Us
|
Desi, Rodney, and Paul wanted to continue Mr. John's passion
for serving the highest quality steaks available. The new owners
bring a combined restaurant experience of over 50 years.
Desi Vega, the managing partner, grew up in the restaurant
business and was "groomed" by Miss Ella Brennan
at Commander's Palace, Miss Ruth Fertel of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse,
and most recently by Emeril Lagasse. His attention to detail
and commitment to excellence makes for a truly memorable dining
experience.
Rodney Salvaggio, Mr. John's son -in-law, owned and operated
the very popular, "Smilie"s, in Jefferson Parish
for 25 years. Paul Varisco has a love for food and been in
the restaurant supply business for the last 12 years. It was
he who brought the partners together to continue Mr. John's
name. Desi knows that all steak houses are compared to Ruth's
Chris and is determined to do what it takes to make Mr. John's,
the new "local" steak house.
