An eatery, marketplace, patio and bar concept called BLDG 5 Market | Kitchen | Patio is coming to the Perkins Road overpass area later this fall. Its opening will culminate three years of planning and development for husband-and-wife team Brumby and Misti Broussard, who are transforming an old metal shed on Kalurah Street, across the street from Bet-R Grocery, into a fast-casual concept that will not only serve lunch and dinner, but also feature a market with fresh meals available for purchase throughout the day.
“The place itself is different—we’ll have a lot under one roof,” says Brumby Broussard, a Culinary Arts Institute of Louisiana graduate who, along with Misti, has been catering weekly prepared meals the past few years. The lunch menu will include craft sandwiches and salads, braises and soups, fresh seasonal sides and daily creations from Head Chef Breck Hatcher. Meanwhile, dinner options will feature shareable plates, appetizers and grazing-style food boards with “globally-inspired dishes.” A bar serving wine, beer and select cocktails will be open for happy hour and dinner. The marketplace will sell fresh packaged take-home meals, as well as seasonal salads and soups, cheese boards to-go, culinary gift items and house-made pantry goods like salt blends, spices, seasonings, pickled vegetables and sauces. Addressing parking as a concern in the bustling overpass area, Broussard says there will also be an emphasis on meal delivery. Existing wood and materials were used throughout construction, making BLDG 5 an adaptive reuse project that aims to preserve the former storage space’s character. “It all matters—the food, the flavors, the lighting, the materials, the vibe—our focus is on the whole experience,” says Misti Broussard in a prepared statement. An enclosed patio features a wall of accordion doors that open up to an outdoor deck, surrounding trees and a rooftop deck, overlooking greenspace filled with German beer garden picnic tables. Moreover, the addition of an “evolving” private dining room—which will be available for community events, cooking classes and private parties—brings seating capacity to roughly 110. BLDG 5 will operate Monday through Saturday, offering lunch between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily. Dinner will begin at 4 p.m., closing at 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The bar will open at 3 p.m., with the same closing times. Meanwhile, market doors will be open all day, beginning at 8 a.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday. Happy hour times have yet to be determined. They plan to hire 25-30 workers.
