Oh say it ain't true

quote:

Applebee’s, a national chain restaurant specializing in mainstream casual American dining, plans to break ground on the new eatery in upcoming months. The restaurant will be a hybrid between their traditional “neighborhood bar and grill” and a more fitting New Orleans concept. Inspired by the success of their “Bourbon Black and Bleu Burger,” Applebee’s corporate executives remark, “New Orleans likes cheap food. And we’re going to give it to them.” Combining their national menu with local favorites such as the Vegan Jambalaya Rice Bowl and the Crayfish Etouffee Pasta, Applebee’s hopes to attract their target demographic of middle class tourists.

For years the French Quarter has been home to some of the most famous restaurants in the world, including the likes of Galatoire’s, Antoines and The Palace Cafe, but has never had a major chain restaurant.


TGI Fridays

Hard Rock Cafe

Does Houlihans count?

And let's not forget the greatness that was the Fashion Cafe. Although, I'm not sure how many other locations they had, such that it might have been classified as a "major chain."

I don't which is worse, this one or the April Fool's one that Tom Fitz wrote up. He's falling down on his game.

NO, New Orleans likes good food, and has it in boatloads already.

This should work out amazingly.

Houlihan's, back in the early-mid 70's was a great bar, with mediocre food. Was knocking back bourbon there one night, with some guy I had never met before; he gets up to go to the restroom, and someone else at the bar asks me how did I know Stephen Stills.
