Our Story
Jimmie Lou's is a tribute to Chef Jeffery Harris' great-grandmother, Jimmie Lou Green, whose kitchen in New Orleans' 9th Ward was where his love of cooking first took shape.
Raised on the flavors, traditions, and hospitality of New Orleans, Chef Jeffery learned that great food is about more than recipes—it's about bringing people together. The comfort food served at Jimmie Lou's is inspired by those early memories, honoring generations of family cooking while celebrating the city that shaped him.
Today, Chef Jeffery calls Cincinnati home, where he shares authentic New Orleans comfort food rooted in tradition, crafted with care, and made to be enjoyed around the table. Every dish is a tribute to the woman who taught him where great cooking begins.
