Of course westend restaurants would still be there
But what else
Would there be no sweet tea at restaurants or would canes eventual spread change that
Would taco tico on vets still be open without rising rents due to chain infestation in vets or was that an inevitable national trend
Would Stella be open or would Boswell have made another excuse
What u think

Why are you so obsessed with Taco Tico? The one in Kenner is still open.

Tony Angelo's would be the best restaurant in town.

Would chains have made even more inroads into the area or less?
Argument for more bc of Katrina
1. Lotta out of towners moved in and wanted familiar reliable food
2. Nola people tried more chain good during diaspora so were more welcoming of it
Argument for less bc of Katrina
1. Natives swelled with nola pride and food was one way they showed that pride. This led to explosion of local restaurants in five yrs after flood
2. City became refractory to nationalization of American food. A unique isolated bubble
Any other ideas?

More important question is what would Kenner's food scene look like. It wouldn't be one of the hottest areas of the metro if not for the storm.

Kenner sux except for few seafood places
Another change
Vietnamese rests in met and Kenner even uptown tho it took five years longer there
Break up of nola east Vietnamese community helped this trend
I'd say without Katrina we'd have a lot less Vietnamese and Mexican restaurants in Kenner met and uptown
