Tara Rodney
For Chef Tara Rodney, food is all about family. Inspired by Mama Voncille’s “‘Tite Affaire,” she began creating her own kitchen memories while raising her family, weaving time-honored traditions and recipes into a unique family legacy. It was in her home kitchen that she and Chef Roy launched their cottage bakery, blending passion with tradition. Today, it is Chef Tara's great pleasure to share those cherished recipes and stories, welcoming you into the La Petite Affaire family. Each dish is a piece of her heart, crafted to bring people together around the table.
Roy Guilbeau
Chef, Jefe, and the quarterback of our team, Chef Roy Guilbeau brings passion and purpose to every dish. Growing up in Golden Meadow along Bayou Lafourche, he developed a deep love for food, especially seafood, and the rich traditions of his Cajun culture. With a lifetime of experience in hospitality, Chef Roy sees the café as an extension of his home, welcoming guests as if they were family. When he’s not creating menus or delighting diners, you’ll find him in his garden, nurturing native plants and habitats for butterflies and pollinators while enjoying his favorite beer. A nature enthusiast and regular at local farmers' markets, Chef Roy’s greatest joy comes from connecting with the people he serves every day.

Une 'Tite Affaire
Chef Tara's fondest childhood memories revolve around visits to her Maw Maw Voncille's kitchen, where the air was always filled with delicious aromas. Maw Maw Voncille would offer small melamine bowls for a ‘tite affaire—French for "little taste"—a gesture that embodied warmth and togetherness. Inspired by those moments, Chef Tara and Chef Roy Guilbeau named their café La Petite Affaire Café to honor the traditions and flavors of Louisiana. Together, their bayou and prairie Cajun roots blend seamlessly to bring authentic, heartfelt cuisine to every guest.
What began as a pandemic venture selling French pastries at local markets has grown into a vibrant café where every dish reflects the love of home cooking. At La Petite Affaire, we invite you to savor the charm and hospitality of Maw Maw Voncille’s kitchen, one bite at a time.
