Another Update from Frankie & Chef Aom 💙
We truly believed we would be reopening tomorrow.
Over the past week, a licensed plumber worked tirelessly to complete the necessary repairs, and we're happy to report that the required inspection passed. We truly thought we were finally at the finish line.
The city officials also worked hard to coordinate the many steps across multiple agencies to help us reach this point, and we're deeply grateful for their efforts.
Unfortunately, when the gas company came out to restore our service, they discovered that the gas meter would not hold pressure. As a result, our gas service still cannot be restored, and we are heartbroken to share that Good Catch must remain closed until this issue is resolved.
This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional week for our team. Every additional day we're closed is another day without the revenue we depend on to support our employees and keep the restaurant moving forward.
We also tried reopening with a limited menu while we worked through these final steps. Unfortunately, it wasn't sustainable. If circumstances change, we may try again—but for now, our focus is getting Good Catch fully reopened as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, if you'd like to help us through this challenging time, there are two meaningful ways you can support us:
💙 Visit Pomelo Thai Boutique Restaurant
Open daily at 4113 Magazine Street.
🎁 Purchase a Good Catch gift card at goodcatchnola.com. Every gift card helps provide much-needed cash flow today, and we can't wait to welcome you back to Good Catch once our kitchen is fully operational again.
We promise to keep everyone updated, and the moment we have a confirmed reopening date, you'll hear it from us first.
Thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and for standing with us through this.
❤️ Frankie, Chef Aom, and the entire Good Catch team
