| Brunch at Madame Begue's, 1894. |
An October 1906 New York Times obituary notes the death of Mme. Bégué, stating 'MME. BEGUE DEAD; New Orleans's Famous Cordon Bleu Ruled Her Kitchen for 43 Years.
"Born in Germany in 1853, Elizabeth Kettenring Dutreuil Bégué owned Bégué's at Decatur at the corner of Madison in the French Quarter. She served one meal, between breakfast and lunch, which became popular across America as 'brunch'."
