Allen hails from a small city in southwest Louisiana (New Iberia, LA)
that embraces the Cajun/Creole culture and food. At an early age,
numerous family members taught Allen how to make Creole food. Allen
attended Xavier University of Louisiana and graduated with a degree in
Computer Networking and Engineering. Allen frequently visited Chicago
during college and was blown away by the endless opportunities of the
city. After college, Allen worked in food service for the Hotel
Intercontinental in New Orleans. He next took a job with a national
seafood restaurant chain and ultimately ended up in Chicago. Equipped
with a desire to serve others the exceptional Southern delicacies that
defined his childhood; Allen opened his first restaurant, Le Fleur De
Lis, in 2010 in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago. The food
served at the restaurant has been featured in The Chicago Tribune and
Chicago’s Best. In the past year the restaurant has been featured on
several television programs including: Hungry Hound, LeShock Value,
and 190 North. Allen looks forward to the creation of a Creole fusion
menu.
