The Galley

Chef Marc started cooking at 14 years old, mostly out of necessity because his parents didn't cook, and he and his 4 brothers had to eat. Born and raised in New Orleans, his heritage naturally drew him to Cajun cuisine, and he became curious about different ways to prepare food and how to play with various flavors. This childhood hobby led him to pursuing a culinary degree from Delgado Tech and ultimately landed him in one of the most famous restaurants in all of New Orleans. Marc spent a decade in the 80s and 90s with the Brennan Family Restaurants, namely Commanders Palace, Mr. B's, and Brennans New Orleans. Marc worked as a Sous Chef for Chefs Paul Prudhomme, Emeril Lagasse, Jamie Shannon, and more, many of whom he lists as his role models. Learning from the best of New Orleans, Marc developed a passion for food and the restaurant business that would serve him well later in life.

In the early 90s, life changes forced a career shift and a move to Atlanta, where Marc worked with his brother in a corporate environment until 2008. During this time, Marc's passion never faded and when the economy forced him out of that career, Marc returned to his first love – Cajun food. In 2009, along with a partner, he opened Adele's Cajun Cuisine in Roswell, GA. In 2021, the partnership dissolved, and Adele's closed, freeing up a perfectly good restaurant space in a prime location. Marc seized the opportunity to become the sole proprietor and opened Wegman's Bayou Louisiana Kitchen in January of 2022.

Now Chef has continued his adventure right here in Bon Secour along with his wife, Beverly Ruffner Wegman in late Feb 2023.
We look forward to being a part of this wonderful
community and bringing a little New Orleans to "The Galley".
