Galveston County Daily News, May 23, 2007 GALVESTON -- When Lorinza Dean talks about the daily specials she’s serving up at the JuJu Hangout and Grill, it’s clear that she loves cooking. Eating her red beans and rice or her smothered pork chops, it’s evident that New Orleans was a major influence. What isn’t so obvious at first is the wrenching journey that brought her here to a restaurant on Galveston’s historic Strand. Dean now presides over the busy kitchen at Juju’s, but less than two years ago she was picking up the pieces of a life devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The weekly cycle of pork chops, chicken and fried fish restores an orderly pattern to her life that was lost in the chaos following the storm. After reuniting with her husband at the George R. Brown Convention Center, the Deans and the younger two of their three children settled in Galveston. “I’ve been cooking all my life. When I first came here, though, I had other things to take care of.” Instead, Dean began working at the University of Texas Medical Branch as a housekeeper. Before long, her passion for cooking resurfaced.
