Founded in December, 2001 in Covington, Louisiana, Paul Ballard had a dream for a restaurant that would appeal to a broad segment of the casual dining market. He put together a team that he could count on:  his brothers, Scott and Steven. With hard work, vision, practical experience and commitment to customer service, the Ballard brothers developed WOW Café and Wingery.  

Together, they put their idea into a plan of action, through extensive research of industry and market trends. They drew on their background as successful franchise owners of two different food service companies. With the advice of experts, they created a menu targeting families and young professionals. Award-winning chef George Rhode IV, from the kitchen of New Orleans’ own Chef Paul Prudhomme, personally created the recipes for WOW Café’s proprietary sauces and spices that have captivated restaurant-goers in the Greater New Orleans area.
