SPEAKER_00 0:17

Basil, like the herb.

SPEAKER_01 0:18

Yes. People always say no, it's basil. So Cafe Basil, which is in St. Francisville. Oh, Basil's Market, right. Which is a really fabulous market. If you haven't been there, you have to check it out. It is currently in a really adorable little building that, like Mike Torr talks about, the ghost of Bayous era, is the building was moved up from Bayocera at the early part of uh the 20th century, and it is now located at the intersection of Commerce Street and Highway 10. And uh it's an adorable space with some really well curated uh items for sale and wonderful food that you can order at the counter. And she serves breakfast and lunch, and she is open from 8 a.m.

SPEAKER_00 1:05

SPEAKER_01 1:06

8 a.m. to 4. And uh Caitlin, I'm so glad you're here. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 1:10

Thank you for having me. I'm happy to be here.

SPEAKER_01 1:13

Well, you've just really been a bright spot. She's adorable. I know people I just have to say it, she's an adorable woman, and her husband is dropped out gorgeous. They really add a lot to the town. And she has got three children. Um she doesn't look like she has any children, she looks like someone's child. Anyway, you really have to visit her place. It's wonderful, and the food is delicious, it's not at all fast, it is homemade food, and it's lovely. So tell me how you started your business.

SPEAKER_00 1:45

So I was a food truck for four years, and we bought the truck since it's being March. It's kind of like an anniversary. We bought the food truck on St. Patrick's Day, and we fixed her up, and that's kind of where basil's started was in that food truck.

SPEAKER_01 2:03

And is it true basil is the name of your dog?

SPEAKER_00 2:06

Yes, basil was I had basil in I was a senior in high school. I got him for Christmas, and I had him all through college, and he was a wild little man, but he was an Australian shepherd, he was beautiful, um, a red myrtle.

SPEAKER_01 2:21

It was just so smart.

SPEAKER_00 2:22

Yes, so smart. And um, but yeah, I had him a long time. He was a sweet dog.

SPEAKER_01 2:27

So uh when did you open your current place in St. Francisville?

SPEAKER_00 2:33

So also in March is our anniversary. So we opened last March, and I believe it's been two years.

SPEAKER_01 2:39

That's amazing. Yes, time has flown by. And it's just been a wild success, right?

SPEAKER_00 2:45

It has. It truly has. I was I was asked a lot because a lot of people say the old basils, and when they say old basils, it was the basil's in Baton Rouge. And then I was off a highland, and I was probably there for about a year and a half, and I was pregnant with my second baby, Andy Jean. Um, and that was that location was so special because that was our first location, and I learned a lot there. I mean, we every obstacle like we learned through it. Like it was our first location, our first like everything. So I kind of had to figure everything out again for the first time since the had the food truck. And the difference between Baton Rouge and St. Francisville, all I can say is it's just different. And Baton Rouge, it would be like a hustle and bustle, like lunchtime, like a lunch hour. And then here versus Baton Rouge, we're busy all day. So like I get walk-ins all day, people are I feel like people are almost on vacation here. You know, they're happy, there's no really hustle and bustle, and they're kind of just here to piddle and play, which is fun. So that's why I feel like we're busy all day, every day, which is like a blessing. Like our Tuesdays, I say, are almost as busy as our Saturdays, which is, I mean, it's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 4:05

And of course, we can't go any further without it mentioning that your father is Mr. Calvin of Calvin's Market in Bocage at Baton Rouge with the world-famous chicken salad, which Miss Vanderpump featured on her show. Did that have any uh did a lot of people find out about Calvin's chicken salad? Which I can't imagine nobody does, that everybody doesn't know. It's been won awards and it's the best chicken salad in the world. Yo, you really have to try this. It's uh it's addictive. And something that is really I prefer even more is their fabulous uh pimento cheese. Thank you. It's better than any pimento cheese you've ever had. And it makes a fantastic grilled cheese. That's what I do a lot of times. So um was tell me about that. How was it growing up in the household where the best chicken salad in the world came from?

SPEAKER_00 5:00

Well, it's funny, like during every if there was a natural disaster, if there was a hurricane, this or that, I don't know how old I was, my dad would pick up me and Brandon, my brother, um, and he'd say, Okay, y'all come run and register, y'all come stock shelves. Um, so I I was like, Can I get aisle seven and eight? Because those are the paper products, so I wouldn't have to rotate. Um, so growing up in the grocery store, like it was funny. Like when I was like, y'all come on, like we need help if you're in any natural disaster or anything. And then um, while I was building the food trucks, like I worked in the chicken salad room from 6 a.m. till about 1 a.m. So they, you know, boil the chickens every morning and we make it fresh literally every day. And it's kind of a it's a process. So they would make the chicken salad and then I would be in the white room, I call it the white room, because it's like white walls and stainless steel tables, and I would just scoop for hours. Um, and I just and you know you I've worked with all kinds of characters and I've loved them all. Like we had a um a few like work release workers, that's why growing up I always tell my, I'm like, you're nice to every single person that you work with. Like, you know, that's you work with all different kinds of people and you are, you know, you appreciate all those different kinds of people. And um, but it's been funny, like when that pot when that lady's Instagram post or about the chicken salad, I was we were living in New Roads at the time, because we were redoing our house in St. Francisville, and I didn't have my phone on me, and we were out in the water, and I went back and I was like, oh my goodness, what is going on? Someone must be hurt. Like, because I had messages and calls and text messages, and they're like, Oh my god, Luke, I think something like happened. So like and I finally started like reading everything, I'm like, what is going on? And it was such a funny video, and my brother can kind of tell you more about how that video came about with Miss Uh with Shane. He's hilarious and he's great, and um so uh, but yeah, it was funny. Shane went in a Shane and my brother did that whole situation. Oh wow, yes, and he has a um, he has some kind of so he he does like interviews and stuff too. He's hilarious if y'all don't know Mr. Shane. Yeah, he's great. So did did a lot of people just start crowding into Calvin's to my dad said that he got there one morning and there was this like cute like family that had like traveled there and like was taking a picture in front of the grocery store, and like they asked if they could take a picture with my dad, and they're like, Mr. Are you Mr. Calvin? And like the little girls were like, He's like, Caitlin, they could have been older than 12 years old, and like wanted to take a picture with my Mr. Calvin, and um, so it was funny. I think they had like a huge rush of people.

SPEAKER_01 7:51

And your father's a real American success story because he started working in that store as an employee, and now he has his own shingle over the place. Yes, and it's renowned. Everybody knows about Calvin's market.

SPEAKER_00 8:03

Um yes, he has there's a video, it's called the it was American Dream, The Tom Broke Off interview.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

Yes, yes, of course.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

Sweet little video, and um, every time I watch it, everyone gets teary dye. But yeah, he's he it that's another thing. Like he's like, do you want to do it? Like if I the pimento cheese on the shelf. He's like, if you want to sell it and you have to keep it stocked, and if you can't keep it stocked, then not putting it on the shelf. I'm like, okay, yes, sir. You know, like it's the same employees, like there's this man, he's like, You're like, we were just getting passing. He's like, your dad taught me how to mop. And he had to be like, I don't know. And he was just funny, he's like, and now I work like in the Capitol. So just know that like Mr. Calvin taught me from the start.

SPEAKER_01 8:49

It's quite a legacy.

SPEAKER_00 8:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:50

So he so and you have something really big and exciting in the future. You're moving your location to the middle of town.

SPEAKER_00 8:59

Yes, we are so excited.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

And an adorable once home, now it's gonna be a business. And uh beautiful camellia bushes and a big front yard, and it's quite lovely. It's gonna be bedrooms. It's on the corner of Ferdinand Street, right off of Commerce, and uh it is uh on Leonard and and Ferdinand, and it's a wonderful little place, and she's in the middle of renovating it now.

SPEAKER_00 9:27

Um yes, so we And her husband is a contractor, so he's doing the job. Oh yes, he's a cute contractor. After we eat dinner, he's like, Okay, I'm gonna go work on Ferdinand. So I'm like, okay, I'll pack up your dinner, you can bring it over there. I'm like, please don't not go. Um, so we it's a five-bedroom house, which is a huge difference.

SPEAKER_01 9:46

Is it five bedrooms?

SPEAKER_00 9:47

Five bedrooms.

SPEAKER_01 9:48

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 9:48

So I I compare it to old Basil's too, because old Basil's was only, I would say it was about maybe four rooms, and we had like a little work office, but this is definitely the biggest location we have ever been in. Um, because the current one we are in in is two rooms and kind of like an open kitchen market room. This area, it has so much special about it. When you walk in, it I mean, it's a beautiful house. And so we're gonna keep it, we're gonna open her up a little bit, but it is so the first, I'm not gonna add too many more chairs because I like simplicity. Like I once it gets too big, I mean I like to feel it's love your banquettes. Yes, so we're gonna have some seats. So so the first room when you walk in, that will probably be about five four tables. I'm gonna say four. And then when you walk into the middle room, I'm gonna open it up and it'll be like the checkout area and we'll it'll be a bigger market room. So if you're in the current basil right now, there's one refrigerator, one drink, and then one freezer. So we're gonna add two freezers and two refrigerators. Great. So there'll be, um, and the great thing about this, it gives us more of a kitchen. So sometimes I have to, you know, turn down catering orders, not because I want to, but just because I'm in the way. You know, sometimes if I'm like cutting sandwiches, I kind of run into breakfast time or lunchtime, and I'm just like truly in the way. Um, so this room gives us a little bit more kitchen room. And like we can cook some more soups and it gives us area to scoop it and just kind of gives us more flexibility in the kitchen, which is gonna be so nice.

SPEAKER_01 11:29

How many employees do you have? I have about seven employees, and they're all really lovely and they work so hard.

SPEAKER_00 11:37

They truly do, and that's growing up. My dad's like, Kayla and your employees matter. Um, and I've learned that like having Lucy, our my third baby, we had her in May, and the summer is actually way busier than you would think. And um, going in to have Lucy, like I knew there was like a sense of comfort knowing that like it was okay. Like, because basil was my first baby, you know. I was like, How are y'all doing? What are y'all doing? You know, I call them all day long and they're like, Miss Caitlin, we got it. Go do whatever you need to do. Go have like, don't worry. And I'm like, okay, we're good. And it's like I felt like a sense of peace, which was, you know, that you really take that for granted. Like, that is like a huge thing.

SPEAKER_01 12:19

So I'm very, very thankful for what impressed me so much at one of the uh town meetings when you were getting your permits, you mentioned that you pick up and drop off your employees.

SPEAKER_00 12:32

I do.

SPEAKER_01 12:33

That's remarkable. You say that, like, oh, that's that's not the ordinary thing, which makes it seem like that's probably why it's such a tight, well-run business. Well, I mean they know you care about them.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Yes. Well, they call me, they say it's one of them yesterday boss lady. I'm like, no, I'm like the cool boss lady. Like, uh-huh, I'm the fun boss lady. Well, you know, I was like, I want them there. And sometimes they don't have a car, or if their car's in the shop, I'm like, okay, well, what's your address? I'll come get you. Like, it's no, I'm driving Miss Daisy. Like, I'll come get you with the kids in the backseat or without the kids in the backseat, but y'all can't sit in a car seat. Um, but I mean, that like they're like family. Like, and some of them even babysit my children, you know. So, you know, it's that's what I said, like work and home, it's all combined. If if I'm changing a diaper in the back, you will meet my kids.

SPEAKER_01 13:20

Do you ever decorate? Because the place is so lovely. It's really well appointed.

SPEAKER_00 13:25

Thank you. Um, you know, I I kind of just do it for fun. I think it's fun.

SPEAKER_01 13:31

Um did you do everything in this? I did. It's really it looks very well done. It it is quite it. It I can see you becoming a brand. I mean, you really do kind of cover all bases.

SPEAKER_00 13:43

You're so sweet. Like it, like, you know, after I put the girls down for bedtime, I just piddle. And I think it's just fun. The paints and the colors and the textures. It truly, I think it's just I think it's just fun putting things together.

SPEAKER_01 13:56

Everyone loves your walls of plates. Yes. It's so much fun because you can just lose yourself looking at all the different plates on the wall.

SPEAKER_00 14:04

It was funny because Andy Jean, I think she was probably about one and I had her in like a pack and play. And she would just lay there and watch me with that hammer and nail, and I was like, move plates, put plates, move plates, and um, but yeah, each plate wall took me a day. So the corner took me about a day. The next, so I kind of like left it for just I said so it was a three-day process, but I had I was at some estate sales, I was, I mean, I found some plates. Now get some more plates for the next because we have a few more walls to fill.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

Uh tell me, um, where do you go to market?

SPEAKER_00 14:41

No, I've never been to market.

SPEAKER_01 14:43

It looks like you go to market. I mean, you have such lovely things. Where do you purchase your things?

SPEAKER_00 14:48

I kind of purchase them from all over.

SPEAKER_01 14:50

Umricanes that can either be candle holders or vases.

SPEAKER_00 14:55

Oh my god, I'm obsessed with those. We we just sold out of those. Yes, those took me a while. We I was messaging with this company.

SPEAKER_01 15:02

You need to go to market.

SPEAKER_00 15:03

I know. I'm kind of scared too.

SPEAKER_01 15:05

The tabletop market. It's just I know.

SPEAKER_00 15:07

I feel like I would go out of I would go out of control. But um, those came from North Carolina. Those were cool. I really liked those. Um, I don't know. I'll try to get those again. I have several of those in my house also. They're happy.

SPEAKER_01 15:20

You have uh a really wonderful array of gourmet items and also fun serving things that just aren't like you see everywhere. I mean, it's that's what makes you feel like you're in a really special establishment. The things you offer. It's like you step into a catalog online, but you're in in in time, real time.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

Thank you. That's so sweet. Well, I try to like the truffle salts and the oils, and then it's so fun, even like customers coming in and they're like, oh, well, Caitlin, the other day I used this to make a um a salad. I said, Oh my gosh, you did? I was like, Well, that's such a good idea. Like when people come in and tell me the things that they used it for, I'm like, it's just been so fun. Like, because I'm like, I buy things that like I would like in my home. And that's just kind of like I just got a bunch of shipment of books in. I'm like, I mean, I really want to keep these at my house, but I guess I'm gonna bring them to basil's. Let me not be selling, you know, so it's just like everything that I enjoy, that's what I put in the market, and that's kind of how I find things. Like, oh, I would love this. So then that's by the way.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

Since do you know when you'll be moving to Ferdinand Street?

SPEAKER_00 16:27

This summer. I'm gonna keep it vague. I'm not gonna put a month on it, but definitely this summer.

SPEAKER_01 16:33

Any news about or any knowledge about what could be going into where basil is now?

SPEAKER_00 16:38

Yes, so I'm gonna add maybe two or three menus on the item, maybe two sandwiches for sure, two things. And then I'm getting it. Um I've drank the Kool-Aid. I am gonna get an espresso machine. Ah, yes, I'm so excited. It's gonna be like this huge, and the gentleman is gonna paint it my green color, which I'm so excited. Um, but I talked to him for about an hour and 45 minutes, and he was like, Oh, well, we gotta get a filter for your water. You have to have this, you have to have this. I'm like, oh my gosh. He's like, Well, who's your barista? And I'm like, You're talking to her. I was like, I've never, you know, done this in my life. He's like, Oh, well, oh gosh, oh man. Like, and he was like, Okay, you gotta you have to come to Los Angeles. I said, I have to what? He's like, Yeah, you have to come take a class. I'm like, Well, can I bring my husband? He's like, Yeah, it's like because if something breaks, he has to fix it. He's like, oh no, no, no. Okay, y'all both come and I need meet y'all. So now he's my best friend. His name is Timmy. You started following Basil's on Instagram and we exchanged numbers and now we're best friends. So I'm gonna go see Timmy soon. So you can see.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

Have you been to LA?

SPEAKER_00 17:44

No, I have I have a long time ago, but I'm gonna go take a coffee class to make sure that the espresso's and the lattes will be perfect.

SPEAKER_01 17:52

That's wonderful.

SPEAKER_00 17:53

I'm excited.

SPEAKER_01 17:54

I know, I'm excited too. Uh and uh are you gonna be stocking more of a of the soft stuff that you could sell at the store?

SPEAKER_00 18:03

Yeah, so we're definitely gonna sell us have um we're gonna have one extra, like the refrigerator will be filled with more take home items, and then the freezer will be filled with some soup items. So I'm hoping to get some like stuffed-baked potatoes in there, some soups, just some good easy grab and goes. You know, we'll probably rotate. Oh, if you've been with me since the food truck, I'm bringing back the pies. So I would make these mini crawfish and chicken pies.

SPEAKER_01 18:35

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 18:36

And they I had this like little, I would call it like my little easy bake oven. It was like this little oven and the pies, kind of similar to the fries now. I'm like they take about 12 minutes. These pies would take about 15 minutes, but oh my goodness, they were so amazing. I'm probably just gonna do chicken because crawfish gets a little bit tricky. Um, but you know, maybe I'll keep them for lent or something. But yeah, they're really good and they're mini. So I'll probably do a mini pie and then a large pie in the freezer section.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

Oh, that sounds wonderful. Is that your recipe?

SPEAKER_00 19:06

So it's actually my dad's recipe, and he has them at the grocery store, but they're like homemade chicken pot pies with those good, all the veggies in it and the shredded chicken cooked down real good. They're delicious. My kids eat them too. Like everyone loves like.

SPEAKER_01 19:20

It's really a family affair because your mom is always in the cafe doing all sorts of things from soup to nuts.

SPEAKER_00 19:28

Yeah, well, she's my she's my bookkeeper. She's the one that keeps me organized. Um, she does payroll for me and um And she's so trim.

SPEAKER_01 19:37

All that good food. And you all are both so.

SPEAKER_00 19:43

Yeah, she keeps me down to the penny. She'll bet Kaylin wear two pennies short. Like she is tighter than a tick. I'm like, oh, the next day she'll be like, found it! I'm like, you're kidding. But yeah, she um true family affair.

SPEAKER_01 19:55

That's wonderful. So uh how long have you been married?

SPEAKER_00 20:00

Um, me and Luke, it's actually our anniversary this month, too. And we've been married for about five years. Luke, don't kill me if it's six. It's five or six years, yes.

SPEAKER_01 20:10

I'll tell our listeners uh Beverly Walker, who is the wedding planner, and we spoke about her beautiful home, Rosebank, when she was on the podcast. She was on a podcast. And uh it's a small world because Beverly's father sold their house in St. Francisville to your family. Yes. And then you wound up marrying Beverly's nephew, and your wedding was at her home. Yes. Small world.

SPEAKER_00 20:37

Small world.

SPEAKER_01 20:38

Isn't that a perfect place?

SPEAKER_00 20:40

It's beautiful. Fabulous.

SPEAKER_01 20:43

I had a tour of I do tours and I had a tour of 52 women yesterday and we had lunch on the front lawn. It was so lovely.

SPEAKER_00 20:50

Oh my gosh, I'm sure that was beautiful, especially with everything blooming right now.

SPEAKER_01 20:53

Oh, it's so lovely.

SPEAKER_00 20:54

It's so good. Yeah, we got married in March there, it was beautiful. And then our um our farm is off of Fire Tower Road, and that's where um like all the all like my bridesmaids and stuff. We stayed all there, so it was all down here. It was really, really, really pretty.

SPEAKER_01 21:12

Have you been coming to St. Francisville for a long time?

SPEAKER_00 21:16

Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of it's beautiful. I mean, everyone's like, What why St. Francisville? I was like, Oh, because it's kind of like a breath of fresh air.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

It is.

SPEAKER_00 21:24

It is like even basil's people were like, Why, why there? And I was like, you know, basil's on Highland was such a unique spot. It was like in a little cottage, and the owner that had it, he had moved those houses over there. So you could tell that they were like they were vintage and old and they were beautiful. I was like, Oh, I can't come from that to something else. So that's why we found the house in St. Francis, but I was like, Oh, it kind of gives you the same charm. So that's why like even our current location off of Commerce Street, it gave you the same charm. So we're so excited.

SPEAKER_01 21:56

You probably don't know this, this is a funny story, but um Friend of ours, Keith, lived in that house.

SPEAKER_00 22:03

Um the one we're in right now?

SPEAKER_01 22:05

No, the one um at Basil, the house behind you, which is the now the rental.

SPEAKER_00 22:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 22:12

Um it's a wonderful house handled by Brandon and Jim at Southern Hospitality, and it's a group house you can rent it and uh just give that a plug. But he overnight moved your building into the front and it kind of made a few people angry because he didn't get all the right approvals, but it's been just a wonderful place. And it's been all sorts of different businesses. And uh you really made it so special. Because that could that was kind of a little dead spot right there, but you just brightened it up.

SPEAKER_00 22:43

Yeah, we we did some work on that house. That was it was fun.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

Do you uh have any idea of who will be your new Oh okay so funny that you asked that.

SPEAKER_00 22:52

Um Mr. Milton called me yesterday, that's my current landlord.

unknown 22:56

Mr.

SPEAKER_00 22:56

Milton, that family's a dear friend of ours, and he is going to release that building. So I'm gonna put a little sign out there for him um next week and just put, you know, basils will be moving to Fernand this summer. Um, and so that building will be up for lease. I'm not sure details, so I'll just put his number for anyone that is interested, they can call him. But it's a I mean, it's been a really happy place for us for two years.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

And something that's really also nice. I don't know if you've heard this, but a renowned interior designer here and in Baton Rouge is gonna open a little shop next door in the building that is currently vacant.

SPEAKER_00 23:31

Oh, that's so exciting. I hate I missed them. I would have loved a neighbor there.

SPEAKER_01 23:36

Well, it'll be nice for it's just gonna be really nice for the future that that that intersection will have such nice businesses.

SPEAKER_00 23:43

And that's why I think, you know, I always say there's no such thing as competition, in my thing. Like a neighbor is a neighbor and it brings everyone in and it's happy. So our Walgreens and CBS parked next to each other.

SPEAKER_01 23:55

I could see you as, you know, I'm I'm older, so I've seen it happen. You really do seem brand bound, um TV show bound. Like uh I could see it. No. Do you have any plans or hope? Are you just gonna just evolve and it'll just be kind of organic and just happen?

SPEAKER_00 24:12

Organic. I am so organic. We um In Register just did a really fun article in um in their magazine, and it started from Lucy was a newborn and Miss Jackie, she's a photographer, dear friend, and she came and took photos of Lucy, and the next day she texted me. She's like, I hope you don't mind, but I gave your information to In Register. And I was like, Oh my god, okay. And then they called me and they're like, Can we come do a shoot at your house? I'm like, Oh my, oh my goodness, sure, yeah. Like I would love that. And they came, they shot him in October or at the end of September, early in October, because they wanted the flowers to still be blooming, but it came out this month and we were the cover of the magazine.

SPEAKER_01 24:55

Oh nice, I have to get a cover.

And it was like a six, it was like a huge write-up. It was like six or five pages, and we hadn't seen any of the photos. It's like I had just had Lucy and I had texted Miss Jackie and said, How are the photos? Does it look like I just had a baby? She's like, I can't show you in a moment. It's a surprise. I'm like, oh goodness, oh, okay, you know, and they interviewed Luke and they interviewed me and they interviewed us separately. So reading the article and seeing the article, it was the first time to see the pictures. It was the first time to like read the article and Luke said such nice things. It was so precious. And the kids, it was, I said, like they did more for like it was like a time capsule of the girls at this age. I was like, I started crying. I was like, this is so sweet. Because not only was it like, you know, a fun project that me and Luca had did together, but it was also like getting the girls like they were playing in their rooms and just like it was just like a really fun time for they to capture for us. So I was really thankful and they were really sweet to do that. I thought it was beautiful.
