Little Bird, a new pop-up from Coquette's Michael Stoltzfus and Meauxbar chef Kristen Essig, will begin serving Southern-inspired dishes at the Lower Garden District whiskey bar*Barrel Proof(1201 Magazine St., 504-299-1888) on July 16.*

?It?s more or less Kristen and myself just having some fun,? Stoltzfus says. ?We live across the street, and it?s really tough to get food in that neighborhood, especially late at night.?

Stoltzfus says he and Essig have been working on the concept for some time and figured the slower summer months were a good time to debut the pop-up, when staffing at their respective restaurants was more flexible.?
