Opened in 2012 by twins Denny Guilbeaux and Billy Guilbeaux, Twin’s Burgers and Sweets is a fast-casual restaurant known for offering the best of two worlds: sweet and savory. While the dual nature of the business gets top billing, Twin’s also makes a significant portion of its food from scratch, and the company is currently building out a bakery production facility. The sweet side of Twin’s is known for its cookies, cakes, petit fours, gingerbread “twins” and other confections. The facility will step up production to service both the original location in Lafayette and the second location in Youngsville. What Now New Orleans was able to connect with ownership but they declined to comment until after Mardi Gras.
The focus on scratch ingredients also applies to the savory side of Twin’s. The restaurant grinds its own beef and bakes its own buns for the burgers. A signature line of Twin burgers features two beef patties with a range of different classic toppings, like tomato, lettuce, bacon, and a fried egg. There are also burgers made with ground turkey and crab meat.
