Our story begins in a small town

Owner and Chef, Jim Richard, originally from Lafayette, Louisiana,  started Word of Mouth Restaurant Group and Blue Mountain Catering Company in 1998 in South Walton County, Florida. He opened The Lake Place Restaurant in 2002 and partnered with Chef Brannon Janca and Chef Todd Misener to create a dynamic culinary team to open the now famous, Stinky’s Fish Camp in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. Locals and vacationers from all over the South know Chef Richard and his reputation in the industry for his passion of food, wine and service.

In 2013, Chef Jim and his team came back home to Louisiana to open “TRENASSE”, a beautifully designed and chef driven restaurant that pays homage to those who have come before us.
