Synopsis
The story of the Cvitanovich family, the founders and proprietors of Drago's Seafood Restaurant, which opened its first location just outside New Orleans, Louisiana, in the 1970s, is the story of a family living the true American dream: two immigrants from Croatia come to the United States with little money in their pockets and forge a seafood restaurant empire known throughout the world. With hard work, fierce tenacity, and the willpower to seize opportunity where they could find it, Drago and Klara Cvitanovich turned their small family restaurant into a Crescent City icon. And there, they invented a New Orleans staple, the charbroiled oyster, a dish that nearly every seafood restaurant in the country tries to emulate. This inspiring and uniquely American story validates the power of hard work, perseverance, faith in family, and generosity. THEIR POST-KATRINA EMERGENCY FOOD DISTRIBUTION, FUELED BY FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE OF HUNGER DURING WORLD WAR II, FED THOUSANDS AND CREATED AN UNBREAKABLE COMMUNITY BOND. Award-winning journalist Peter Finney Jr. is a former sportswriter for the New York Post and New York Daily News and the recipient of the St. Francis de Sales Award from the Catholic Media Association. He has served as the executive editor and general manager of the Clarion Herald , the newspaper of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, since 1993., The story of the Cvitanovich family, the founders and proprietors of Drago's Seafood Restaurant, which opened its first location just outside New Orleans, Louisiana, in the 1970s, is the story of a family living the true American dream: two immigrants from Croatia come to the United States with little money in their pockets and forge a seafood restaurant empire known throughout the world.
