## Resource

Angelo “Bubba” Brocato III, the beloved face of New Orleans’ iconic gelato spot Angelo Brocato, has passed away at 85 after a long illness. Known for his signature mustache, straw hat, and warm welcome, he helped turn the Mid-City parlor into a beloved city institution famed for its Sicilian-inspired pastries and gelato. The family business, founded in 1905 by his grandfather, earned a James Beard Award nomination in 2023 and continues under his brother Arthur and sister-in-law Jolie. From its roots in the French Quarter to its current home in Mid-City and appearances at Jazz Fest, Brocato’s legacy of tradition, flavor, and hospitality endures.
