Products & Services
Founded in
December of 2001 in Covington, La. Paul Ballard had a
dream for a restaurant that would appeal to a broad
segment casual dining market. He put together a team he
knew he could count on-his brothers, Scott and Steven.
They all grew up working in the family business, where the
customer was always No. 1. From this legacy of hard work,
vision, practical experience and a commitment to customer
service, the Ballard brothers developed the WOW Cafe and
Wingery! Together, they developed the idea into a plan of
action, through extensive research of industry and market
trends. They drew on their background as franchise owners
of two different food service companies. They created a
varied menu, targeting the preferences of families and
young professionals. They sought the advice of experts.
Award-winning chef George Rhode, IV created special sauces
in order to capture the fancy and flavors of savvy
restaurant-goers in Greater New Orleans.
