The Ghost of Julian Etinge Haunts a couple at Tujague's Restaurant

There's a little something spooky in the air because it’s that time of year again! On this year’s special Halloween edition of Louisiana Eats, we’re getting up close and personal with some ghostly friends and the places they haunt. We begin with a visit with our resident medium, Debbie Duvall who recently put host Poppy Tooker in touch with ’s famous cross-dressing ghost, ⁠Julian Eltinge—but not after giving her the fright of her life!

Then, we’ll learn about one whose spirits hi-jinks have remained consistent through three different owners. Celeste Bergeron McCann and Chef Greg Picolo of its two former iterations⁠—Christian's and Redemption, respectively⁠—tell us about their paranormal experiences with the building's more malevolent spirits.
