NY Times Article on Brennan's

At a glance, Brennan’s seems to be rolling along just as it has since it was founded in 1946. Over the last two years, though, the restaurant has been the subject of a foreclosure, a bankruptcy and a visit by the New Orleans Police Department, called in to pacify a shareholders meeting. Brennans inveighed against Brennans. Brennans sued Brennans. The restaurant was sold off in pieces: the building for $6.85 million, the name and other accouterments for $3 million. An estimated $20 million more was poured into fixing up the 18th-century structure and building new kitchens and dining rooms.

The article got one thing right:

The only way this place ends up in the black is if they turn it into a Superior Grill.

It wasn't even meant as a slam, really. It's pretty much what every one of his places does. I mean, it's obviously his business plan.

Sounds about right. Brennan's owned restaurants are usually tourist traps.

I didn't really mean that at all either.
Actually, the only Ralph Brennan joint that seems to really cater to tourists and that I might describe as a "tourist trap" is Redfish Grill.

Agreed.
I still think Mr. B's is a nice, reliable place for lunch (yeah, I know Cindy is the front person for the place).
