Suggested in the Bobby Hebert thread.

I'll start.

Danny Abramawitz had a delicatessen on West Esplanade in Metairie that was pretty good.

He and Archie Manning had Archie & Danny's in the building that now houses Andy's Bistro, formerly Sid Mar's and an Indian place.

There's Manning's down on Fulton Street.

Steve Stonebreaker had a rib place that is now an OTB parlour in Metairie.

That's Mano's. I don't think he owned that, but I could be wrong.

There was a place on Essen in the early 90's, next to Schwinn Cyclery and I can't remember who owned the place.. Wasn't there very long.

There was also a place on Highland in the early 90's that served plate lunches, near Burger King.. Don't recall the player that owned it..

I believe it was early 90's based on the girl I was dating at the time.. I'd say 93?

Dead on for Lyman Whites.. That was a pretty good joint. Wish it was still there.
