In the days of sailing ships, much commerce from the Gulf of Mexico sailed through here and the Rigolets into Lake Pontchartrain to New Orleans and surrounding communities.
Chef Menteur Pass was long guarded by Fort Macomb, now an abandoned ruin on the western side of the Pass. Two bridges span the Pass. The automobile bridge, constructed in 1929, carries U.S. Highway 90; the portion of this road between central New Orleans and the pass was long known as "Chef Menteur Road" before the route became a U.S. highway. Portions are still known as "Chef Menteur Highway." The CSX railroad bridge also spans Chef Menteur Pass a short distance south of the highway bridge.
The Lake Catherine neighborhood of New Orleans is to the east side of the pass. The Venetian Isles neighborhood of New Orleans is to the west of the pass.
The literal meaning of "Chef Menteur" is "Lying chief" in the French language, and probably derives from the Choctaw phrase "oulabe mingo."
According to one account, it was the name that the indigenous tribe of Choctaw Indians gave to the colonial French governor (Kerlerec) after the Frenchman had reneged on a treaty. Another account claims that the Choctaw had originally assigned the name to the Mississippi River. The river's path was untrustworthy, due to the many twists and turns in the Mississippi River Delta region as it wound its way to the sea, splitting into bayous and swampland before the levees were built to regulate its flow.
Another origin for the name Chef Menteur is given in an old history book titled "A History of Mississippi: From the Discovery of the Great River by Hernando de Soto, Including the Earliest Settlements Made by the French, Under Iberville to the Death of Jefferson Davis". This book was written by Robert Lowry and William H. McCardle and published in 1891 by R.H. Henry & Co. Jackson, Miss. It includes the following paragraph from a section on the Choctaw Indians:
Chef Menteur is an instrumental rock band from New Orleans, Louisiana in the United States with heavy leanings towards the style of ambient music. It was formed in 1998 by Alec Vance (of Shinola) and Jim Yonkus, both of whom were looking to explore new sounds from different music worlds: electronica, post-rock, experimental noise and drone, and improvisational jazz. The current line-up includes Dan Haugh from the bands godheadSilo and Smoke and Smoke.
The original lineup was Vance on guitar and Farfisa organ and Yonkus on bass, with both members of the duo also playing other synths, manipulating samples and drum machines. They also run their own custom video projections at live shows from self-produced DV footage. The sound of the band has become gradually more guitar-and-drums oriented over time and less sample-based and reliant on computer-synchronized beats, and shows feature psychedelic improvisations.
Their 2005 album We Await Silent Tristero's Empire was released by the artist-run independent label Backporch Revolution to international critical acclaim .
