Really. Have any of you even been to this town in the last 5 years? There are awesome restaurants and hole in the walls with tremendous food all over the damn place! Ya’ll act like the only places to eat are TJ Ribs, Applebees, and Chili’s.
I am more intimately familiar with the BR food scene than you may know, and there may be some good spots to eat, but great food is reserved for places that actually do great food. It’s nowhere close yet. Getting better, yes, but it’s just damn dishonest and embarrassing to call it great when it just isn’t, and anyone who eats great food knows it. Let’s not Church it up.

Baw, you must've not had the Deli Special at Anthony's or the breakfast at Frank's. That's about the extent of the great BR food scene.

Name a metro are with less than a million people that’s not a major tourist destination that has better food than Baton Rouge.
Name a metro area with less than a million people that has a better original music scene than Baton Rouge other than Athens, GA.
I’ll wait.
BR is a small city, and it’s pretty damn good for a small city. Stop trying to pretend it doesn’t stack up to places you have no basis to compare it to.

You are wrong. That is all.

I mean it feels we are just talking fine dining here. In which case, yes, Baton Rouge has a way to go in that regard.
But I had a "great" bowl of pho from Dang's with a banh mi that was also pretty damn great. Fiancee and I also had some kick arse Indian from Curry & Kabob Saturday night that was some of the best Indian I've had lately.
Doesn't need to be white table cloth to be "great."
Good food is good food.
