METAIRIE, La – On Feb. 1, Drew Brees cut the ribbon on Smalls Sliders, the trending cheeseburger slider concept founded by Brandon Landry, in Metairie.
The quick service spot serves shakes, waffle fries and sliders, which can be dunked in special sauces created by esteemed Louisiana chef John Folse.
Owned by Drew Brees, Jason Loezel and Ben Smith, the Metairie Can is located at 4580 Veterans Blvd. and features convenient drive-thru and walk-up ordering options. The grand opening was hosted by the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce. Plus, the first 100 guests received a pair of free Smalls-branded slides.
This is Brees’ first Smalls Sliders location and is the first of 40 openings slated for 2024 across the Southeast. There are “cans” — the company’s nickname for its restaurants — coming soon to Gonzales and Baton Rouge.
“We’ve taken a simple idea and taken it to a whole other level,” said Brees. “it’s great to be a part of such a great team and one of the hottest restaurants around. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial mindset, so it’s fun to be able to bring business to New Orleans.”
Smalls Sliders opened its first signature ‘Smorange™’ colored Can in 2019.
