I was going through Jackson about a year ago and stopped at Newks for lunch. I was talking to the general manager about the restaurant group buying the franchise rights for NOLA. He said that he had just come back from meetings in NOLA and there would be an announcement soon about the location for 2 restaurants. I haven't heard anything since. Anyone have any info?

Info: it's sad to be looking forward to a Newk's in one of the best food cities in the world.

Move to Metairie and live off of Red Lobster and Olive Garden.

It's coming. These types of franchises like to build multiple locations in one area in pretty short order. There are two in Lafayette, two in Baton Rouge, and a couple on the MS coast.

Within a year I would guess you would see a couple in the NOLA suburbs.

As far as McAlister's, I loved them when I was in Hattiesburg for school for a couple of years, I think the one on Hardy was the 4th one they had. So very early on. Not at all impressed by the franchise locations today.
