Eggplant Josephine: An edible piece of history

A classic dish from the Original White Pillars is back on the menu!

White Pillars was originally opened and operated by Virginia and John Mladinich from 1969-1989. It was definitely the place to be and Eggplant Josephine was a staple during that time. A few months ago Mrs Virginia, affectionately known as Mrs. V passed away but left behind an incredible legacy. Her influence on the culture and culinary scene of the Gulf Coast is immeasurable.

Mrs V believed that every meal at White Pillars should be an event - an experience filled with warmth, elegance, and intention. Its a philosophy we proudly carry forward every day,
