The sign for Badeaux’s Cajun Kitchen has been taken down outside of the restaurant and Bar 202. The window stickers for the restaurant have been taken down from display as well.
The general manager for Bar 202, Thomas Rundstrom, confirmed the owner of the restaurant, Jason Badeaux, had left the partnership with Bar 202.
“We’re renovating the restaurant a little bit, staying with the Cajun theme, and it’s just under new management,” said Rundstrom.
According to Rundstrom, the decision was made on Monday to bring the restaurant under new management.
“We’re just rebranding the restaurant, like I said. It’s a fairly simple changeover. We’re just getting new signs made, that’s why they’re down right now,” said Rundstrom.
Although the restaurant will retain a Cajun theme, there is yet to be a name chosen.
“We’re actually still working on the name,” confirmed Rundstrom.
The specific reason for Badeaux leaving the partnership with Bar 202 has yet to be known.
“Jason’s no longer with us, I’m the new GM (general manager). He just went a separate way,” said Rundstrom.
Rundstrom declined to make any further comments on Badeaux.
Badeaux’s had joined in a partnership with Bar 202 less than a year ago in March 2015.
