One Louisiana barbecue spot starts serving breakfast at 3:30 in the morning. That’s before most roosters bother to clock in. Grab a seat outside, and big ships drift past just over the levee. Another river town spot opens at 4 a.m. for Cajun barbecue. Some of us can barely find the coffee pot by then.

Is Vampire Café ghoulishly good or a gimmick? Here’s what I thought as a New Orleans native.

It wasn’t the flimsy blood bags flowing with ‘fangria,’ the paper bats dangling from chandeliers or the obscure psychedelic music blaring overheard that first caught my attention at New Orleans Vampire Cafe. It was, rather, the people there. The host stood in front of a snaking line...
