Krewe Restaurant – in this small central Minnesota city, St. Joseph, Minnesota is a tribute to Mary Mackbee, a former high school principle who raised four children in a Twin Cities suburb on the cooking of her native New Orleans. The Mother of Mateo and his family.
“More than anything, gumbo is the smell I remember,” said Mateo Mackbee, one of those children and the chef and co-owner of Krewe. Locals whose families have lived here for generations say Krewe is the city’s first brick-and-mortar business owned by an African-American. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/07/dining/krewe-restaurant-mateo-mackbee-erin-lucas.html
