Our New Fall Cocktail List Arrives in Seasonal Style!

Join us THIS Sunday, October 25, from 2–6 PM as we introduce our new fall cocktail lineup. Bring a few friends, sample the season’s newest creations, and find your new favorite.

Chef Gabe and the culinary team will be serving up an assortment of savory bites and sweet treats, while Kern & Friends return to set the mood with classic vinyl and a little Halloween flair.

Stop by anytime between 2 and 6! Whether you’re popping in for a cocktail or settling in for the afternoon, we’d love to have you.

From Oaxaca to North Louisiana, Chef Gabriel Balderas has built a life around his love of food, family, and the belief that great food begins long before it reaches the table.

We’re so excited to see Gabe featured in the latest edition of Lola Magazine!

In “From Oaxaca to North Louisiana: A Farm-to-Table Life,” Gabe shares a little more about his journey, the experiences that have shaped his approach to cooking, and his passion for growing and sourcing ingredients through Nourishing Farms. It’s a wonderful look at the heart behind the food and the work that goes into bringing it all together.

A huge thank you to LOLA Magazine for giving Gabe the opportunity to share his story, and to Brittany Strickland Photography for the beautiful photography that brings this spread to life.

Pick up the latest issue of LOLA and give it a read. We think you’ll enjoy getting to know a little more about the man behind the menus!

Duck is on the menu this weekend, and it’s worth making dinner plans for.

Cherry balsamic-glazed duck breast over savory andouille sausage bread pudding, with grilled Seminole pumpkin and port w**e demi-glace.

Come hungry. We’ll take care of the rest!

TEAM SPOTLIGHT: AMANI ✨

Born and raised in Shreveport, Amani has been part of the Zuzul team for a year now—and if you’ve had the pleasure of meeting him, you already know that smile.

When he’s not at Zuzul, you’ll usually find him reading, spending time with his grandma, going to church, or making music with Omari, another member of our team.

His Zuzul order? Steak & Cheese Sliders. No hesitation.

And his favorite part of working here?

“It’s the people for me. We have really great customers, and I like getting to know them and making sure they have a good experience when they’re here.”

We’re lucky to have Amani as part of the Zuzul family. Next time you see him, say hello—and maybe take his word on those sliders. 🤍
