Contigo Catering & Dispatch, is launching interactive virtual classes and drive-thru pop-ups as an offshoot of Contigo Catering, alongside their seasonal homestyle meals, family meals and grocery items for delivery and pickup.
CONTi-GO Dispatch was launched in March 2020 by owner Brooke Greer as a meal delivery and grocery service and has since developed the concept further to offer virtual classes & pop-up neighborhood drive-thrus, in addition to meal delivery and pickup at their kitchen located at 3709 Promontory Point Dr., B201, Austin, TX 78744.
“The day SXSW cancelled, our entire spring season was decimated, the 3 months we bring in 40% of our revenue for the year. We fell hard, and we fell fast. I knew we would have to act, and overnight quickly jumped into the family meal delivery, became a product-driven company vs. a services business and launched an online ordering system. At first, it was a bandaid to get us through what felt like a season-ending injury. Now, we are reconstructing our business. Truth be told, there may not be live events for a while, which we were (and still are) really, really good at executing. While the team and I still have our ups and downs, good & bad days, the creative energy that comes from reworking our business model, alongside staying relevant and engaged with our audience, has been life giving; and it pushes me personally through the exhaustion.” – Brook Greer

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
