HEART AND SOUL OF SHUCKS!
(The 10+ year club)
EULA B. HENDERSON: For 40+ years Miss Eula has shared her love
with the staff and patrons of Dupuy’s Restaurant and SHUCKS!
Her devotion to wholesome, home cooked food has attracted customers far
and near. Miss Eula is responsible for all the famous gumbo and
all the stuffed seafood served at SHUCKS! She can still be found
in the kitchen six days a week preparing great food enjoyed by all of
our guest. Miss Eula’s love of God and love of family makes her a
treasure to all who have the pleasure of working with her. Thanks
Miss Eula for all that you do! We love you!
DORTHY
“DOT” LEVINE: Miss Dot can be found six nights a week in the kitchen as the
“commander-in- chief”. It is indeed a pleasure and quite fascinating
to watch this seasoned veteran put out the wonderful food people stand in
line to eat. Miss Dot has served for 30+ years and she is the fire
behind the hundreds of plates served each evening. Watching Miss Dot
work those fry baskets is like watching a great piano player tickle the
ivories. It is amazing that Miss Dot does all this six days a week,
but even more amazing is that she does it with such pride and joy.
Thanks, Miss Dot, our Kitchen would not be the same without you.
SONNIA “PUPPY” PERRY: Sonnia’s 30+ years of service is truly a
story of loyalty, hard work and drive. Sonnia can do anything.
She is comfortable in the kitchen, at the register, with customers on
the floor or in the office handling the books. Sonnia’s
responsibilities are too numerous to list. When a critical eye is
needed we all turn to Sonnia. Her honesty and understanding of the
hospitality industry is priceless. She is a fine restaurateur.
This is why Sonnia was an easy choice for the General Manager’s position
which she accepted in August of 2007. Thank you Sonnia, it is a
pleasure to work along side of you.
TRACIE WINTERS: “Steady as a rock” is the best way to describe this veteran of 30+ years. Tracie’s responsibilities are many and her sharp mind keeps lunchtime running smoothly. Never flustered by the rush of a busy lunch Tracie gives 100% day in and day out. Tracie is a pro at any position on the line of our kitchen. A woman of few words, Tracie is valued as a co-worker more than words can describe. Thanks Tracie, we hope for many more years of working together.
SYLVIA
“RENE” HUNT: For 27 years Rene has been the familiar face greeting
our guest and providing for their every need. Rene’s good business
sense and attention to detail made her our choice as assistant manager
and wait staff supervisor which she accepted in August of 2007.
Although Rene’s managerial responsibilities are many, she may very well
be your waitperson while dining with us. Rene’s gift of
hospitality is obvious as she continues to serve after all these years.
Thanks Rene, your love of SHUCKS! and dedication is admired by all.
CARLA DURKE RICHARD: The essence of loyalty and dependability Carla has been a member of the wait staff for 20+ years. Carla genuine desire to be of service is obvious each time she hits the floor. As a small business owner herself (her other job) Carla understands the importance of consistent food and good service. Thanks Carla, it is a pleasure to work along side of someone who understands business as you do.
ALLISON “ALLY” DUHON: This 10+ year veteran of the kitchen is a natural when it comes to creating or catching on to new dishes. You can find Ally on the grill six days a week but her work doesn’t stop there. The delicious oyster stew, crab cakes and sauces are also her responsibility. If it needs to get done, you can count on Ally to get it done. Ally has endless potential and we at SHUCKS! hope to work along with her until she realizes all of it! Thanks, Ally.
ELNORA “MISS EL” JACKSON: If it is cloudy outside you can count on Miss EL to be your sunshine. Her beautiful smile and great sense of humor can light up any situation. Miss EL has been a steady and always willing member of the kitchen staff for 10+ years. No job is beyond Miss EL and her willingness to take on new responsibilities such as our wonderful pasta sauce makes her extremely valuable to our operation. Thanks Miss EL, we hope you grace us with your presence for years to come.
