Mister Mao Celebrates 2 Years with Anniversary Cocktail to Benefit Southern Smoke Foundation

When Chef Sophina Uong and husband/partner William “Wildcat” Greenwell opened Mister Mao in July 2021, the dynamic duo set out to bring New Orleanians a vibrant dining experience where “unapologetically inauthentic” global-inspired cuisine melds with a killer cocktail program and lively atmosphere. Two years later, Mister Mao has become one of the Crescent City’s hottest restaurants. In celebration of two years, Mister Mao will showcase a celebratory anniversary cocktail available only July 1 – 31, 2023 to benefit the Southern Smoke Foundation – a non-profit organization dedicated to providing emergency relief funding and no-cost mental health services to those in the hospitality industry.
 
Guests who dine at Mister Mao during month of July can enjoy a limited-time-only The Teaches of Peaches cocktail featuring vodka, house made peach shrub; fresh squeezed lemon juice, peach liqueur, saline and Angostura bitters, served over crushed ice and garnished with dehydrated Covey Rise peach. Uong, a staunch advocate for the hospitality industry, will donate 50 percent of each anniversary cocktail sold to Southern Smoke Foundation and will participate in the October 2023 Southern Smoke Festival in Houston, Texas.

Mister Mao is located at 4501 Tchoupitoulas in New Orleans (entrance on Jena Street) and serves dinner Thursday – Monday (closed Tuesday and Wednesday) from 5PM – 10PM and brunch Sunday from 11AM – 3PM.
