Suis Generis is our restaurant in New Orleans. The SG Tiki Farm is our exotic plant farm & tropical paradise in Pearlington, MS, where we grow unique & unusual produce for the weekly changing menu at Suis Generis.

The Tiki Food Lab is our learning & research center located on the SG Tiki Farm, overlooking our beautiful bayou.

Our Mission is to explore and create new flavor profiles - to build layers of taste through experimentation and unusual processes. We are on a quest for umami and embrace the "kansha" of ingredients - which means respect for each part and the whole. Learning about fermentation, cooking techniques, the science of flavor, zero waste eating, and the quest for umami is what we want to bring you. Join us in the thirst for knowledge by signing up for a private chef curated dinner, food experience, farm tour and/or cooking class. You can even book a stay in our UFO!
