Hey everyone. It’s your girl Catrice J, we are in New Orleans with Rob49 at his new restaurant The Nest NOLA. How you feeling? 

Rob49:

I’m good, good, good. It’s like a lounge type, restaurant type vibe. 

Tell me about it. 

That’s what it is. I just always wanted somewhere like for me and my partners to come instead of going like to these… all these spots that we not comfortable at. 

What does it mean to you to have this restaurant in New Orleans, your home city?

It feels good just because New Orleans food is everything I ain’t- I wouldn’t even feel comfortable building nowhere else. 

New Orleans has one of the richest food cultures in the world. How do you think the flavors of the city are going to represent in this restaurant? 

It’s the one like, I think if they come here, they’re gonna know, like, New Orleans got the best food in the United States. Like, for sure. And I know it sounds crazy, 50 states, 49 of them like, but this the one. 

I feel like it too. I’ll be honest. 

You feel like that? 

I feel like you have the best food in New Orleans. 

Nah, swear to God bro. 

And obviously your restaurant, or lounge- 

Today’s gonna do it for you. 

Oh, I’m excited! 

So we’re here for Super Bowl weekend. How does it feel to have the Super Bowl in your city?
