Sometimes the simplest meals are the ones we crave most. For us, it's the smash burger - a crispy-edged, juicy classic that's easy to make, endlessly satisfying, and always brings people together. Plus it screams summertime. Here's how we make ours.

An unforgettable summer evening in The Snug brought together friends, neighbors, and acclaimed playwright, actor, and author Charles Busch for conversation, storytelling, and community—celebrating the arts in true DUGAZON fashion.

The best summer gatherings rarely begin with a plan. Just a simple invitation, good food, a welcoming table, and the people you enjoy most.

One year ago, on August 27, we opened the doors to DUGAZON for the very first time. What we couldn't have imagined was how quickly all of you would make it feel like home.

DUGAZON welcomes Gretchen M. New York for a special Spring/Summer 2026 preview celebrating timeless style, craftsmanship, and meaningful connections.

Take a look back at one of our favorite spring traditions. During Trade Secrets weekend, DUGAZON welcomed friends, neighbors, and visitors for a special Open House featuring seasonal bites by Lidey Heuck and an opportunity to support Project SAGE. It was an afternoon filled with great food, meaningful connections, and community.

Discover how meaningful collections bring life and movement into a home. From a treasured library of over 1,400 cookbooks to a growing collection of natural curiosities from Deyrolle in Paris, Bobby shares how beloved objects can evolve with the seasons and find new places throughout the home.

Bring a taste of Louisiana to your table with Bobby’s Sea Bass & Shrimp Gumbo, a comforting recipe inspired by family traditions and time spent in his grandparents’ kitchen. This approachable seafood version delivers rich, bold flavors without the traditional roux, making it a delicious dish to enjoy any time of year.

Inspiration Bobby and Matt have always shared a love of Mexican food, and this chicken enchilada recipe has become a favorite at our table. Rich, comforting, and endlessly crowd-pleasing, it strikes the perfect balance between weeknight simplicity and casual entertaining. The creamy chicken filling, green chilies, and generous layer of melted cheese make it the sort of dish that disappears quickly and is requested often. Adapted from Courtney's Chicken Enchilada Casserole,

So much of Dugazon is shaped not by what we set out to find, but by what we discover along the way. A trip, a walk, a meal in someone’s home, these moments often turn into memories, and those memories often turn into objects that quietly become part of our lives. Travel has always influenced the way we see, choose, and live with things. Not just far-flung destinations, but trips home to Louisiana, visits to friends’ houses, afternoons spent wandering through Paris, slow morni

Most people tell us the same thing when they walk into Dugazon for the first time: “It feels like stepping into someone’s home.” A beautiful one, yes, but the kind of beauty that comes from warmth, ease, and intention rather than perfection. It’s inviting in a way that makes you slow down without realizing you have. You take a breath, you look around, and something familiar settles in. That feeling is exactly what we hoped for, the shop is designed to unfold gently. There’s n

Inspiration This savory pie is something to make instead of a quiche or tomato pie (which we will share in the future). Bobby’s mother made a similar recipe and it was a huge hit! Ideal serving moment Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch entertaining. Great for groups. Serve with a crispy green salad and crisp white wine. During summer months you can serve cold/room temp and in cooler weather serve hot! YUM! Recipe details Serves: 4-6 portions Inspired by Barbara Dugazon Graham’s Reci

One of the most liberating decisions we made early on was accepting that Dugazon isn’t meant to be for everyone. And truly, that’s the point. We’ve both spent years working in worlds where broad appeal was often the goal: bigger audiences, wider nets, more of everything. But Dugazon was never born from that mindset. It wasn’t shaped by trends or market studies or the pressure to please the masses. It was shaped by taste, by heritage, by instinct, and by the quiet belief t

Lagniappe is one of those words that stays with you. If you grew up around it, you know its meaning long before you ever hear it defined. And if you didn’t, the first time someone explains it, something inside you instantly understands. Lagniappe means “a little extra.” But the real beauty of it is that the extra is thoughtful, quiet, and personal. It’s the baker slipping an extra cookie into your bag. The host adding one more dish to the table because they thought you’d

Inspiration GUMBO GUMBO GUMBO Truly one of our all time favorites… Chicken and Sausage GUMBO I remember all the trips going to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to see my grandparents over the years. My grandfather, Bainbridge Dugazon always had a pot of gumbo on the stove when we arrived. The gumbo was shared with family and friends over a meal of crusty french bread, lots of butter and a crispy green salad. Oh and don’t forget your favorite hot sauce… Tabasco, Louisiana or Crystal…

Inspiration There is nothing quite like Crawfish Etoufee… and Bobby’s Grandfather, Bainbridge Dugazon could make a mean one. As a "smothered" dish, it reflects the Cajun, Creole, and French influence on Louisiana cuisine, served over rice with crusty french bread. It’s truly a Louisiana classic. Ideal Serving Moment This can now be enjoyed anytime of the year given that you can use frozen crawfish tails. However, crawfish season runs from November through mid July so can

One of the first things people notice when they walk into Dugazon is that we don’t tell them what to do. We don’t prescribe a color palette. We don’t insist on a particular way to set a table. We don’t believe in absolutes. Instead, we guide, gently, thoughtfully, and with a curiosity that mirrors your own. Because your home should feel like you, not like us. We’re very detail-oriented, of course, we notice craftsmanship, texture, history, proportion, but never in a way that

One of our favorite parts of Dugazon is sharing the things we’re loving in our own lives, what we’re reading, cooking, collecting, and finding comfort in as the season shifts. We realized these little conversations happen between us constantly, usually over coffee in the kitchen or during a walk through the shop. So we thought, why not bring that conversation here? A monthly peek into what’s inspiring us, simple, personal, and true to the way we live. Matt: What I’m Reading &

Inspiration There’s something deeply comforting about onion soup. Bobby has always had a love for French Onion Soup. Growing up no matter where they traveled in the US or abroad, if French Onion Soup was on the menu he would order it. This is a less fancy recipe but one that hits all of the notes of a truly great onion soup! Plus it does not hurt when served in a beautiful soup tureen. Ideal Serving Moment This is incredible anytime of the year, but perfect for a cold w

At Dugazon, we’ve always believed that life becomes richer when you treat the everyday with the same care and attention usually reserved for special occasions. It doesn’t require grand gestures or elaborate planning. Most of the time, it’s the smallest rituals that make the biggest difference, the little decisions that turn an ordinary Tuesday into something memorable. A fresh bowl of flowers on the counter. The linen napkins you normally save for guests. A candle lit just be
