"The Art of Living, that's what we do in the restaurant business." — Louis Petit

Co-Owners Paul Bash & Louis Petit at Little Rock restaurant, Jacques & Suzanne

Chef de Cuisine Paul Bash & Brigade de Cuisine

In 1975, a new restaurant opened in downtown Little Rock that would change the culinary culture of Arkansas forever. Jacques & Suzanne, founded by Paul Bash and Louis Petit, housed a masterful kitchen of talented and eager European chefs. This brigade de cuisine (kitchen brigade) curated elevated and exceptional French cuisine for patrons of Little Rock and beyond.
