Food and Drink Board	re: Old Bozo's Becoming a New Seafood Restaurant - CourseyCorridor on 5/22/13 at 11:25 am Didn't know Bozo's shut down. I'm a little sad. My father in law's favorite place.

Food and Drink Board	re: Ruffino's on the River Grand opening tomorrow in Lafayette - CourseyCorridor on 5/22/13 at 10:10 am Why do you keep doing the "BR>" bit? It's silly. The point is expectations. Ruffinos can stand out in the BR scene because of what it lacks as a city. To me, it's a tougher crown an hour east or west on I-10. ...

Food and Drink Board	re: Ruffino's on the River Grand opening tomorrow in Lafayette - CourseyCorridor on 5/22/13 at 9:59 am [quote]That's really not "a haul".

Food and Drink Board	re: Ruffino's on the River Grand opening tomorrow in Lafayette - CourseyCorridor on 5/22/13 at 1:16 am Italian at Ruffino's is average at best at the price point. Well behind Gino's and Nino's in the BR market, IMO. The Carrabba's comparison (may have butchered that spelling) really isn't that far off. Steaks and specialty dishes are what they do best. Their fish specials are usually good. They re... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
Food and Drink Board	re: Ruffino's on the River Grand opening tomorrow in Lafayette - CourseyCorridor on 5/22/13 at 1:10 am I'll add that Ruffino's in BR is also somewhat hard to get to. Not that it's tucked away, but if you live in the Garden District, going out to that Highland Road exit's a bit of a haul. Of course, the Garden District strikes me as more of a Juban's and Stroube's crowd. Ruffino's seems more lik... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
Food and Drink Board	re: Ruffino's on the River Grand opening tomorrow in Lafayette - CourseyCorridor on 5/22/13 at 1:02 am [quote]Spot on, IMO. Lafayette is a really good food city. No one will confuse it with a destination for fine dining, though. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

More Sports Board	re: Sources: ESPN laying off hundreds - CourseyCorridor on 5/22/13 at 12:54 am A few takeaways from this thread: 1. I agree that we all should use every tax loophole available to us. It's designed that way and if you don't take advantage, it's foolish. Brings me back to the Warren Buffet story about paying less in taxes (by percentage) than his secretary and saying there... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic

Food and Drink Board	re: Ruffino's on the River Grand opening tomorrow in Lafayette - CourseyCorridor on 5/21/13 at 10:57 am I'll say this: I like Ruffino's, but there are some in BR that give it a little too much credit. That said, it will do well in Lafayette. But to say it will be the best restaurant there doesn't recognize something that to me is obvious: As a food city, Lafayette is head and shoulders better th...

Political Talk	re: Things the Public Sector Does Better Than the Private Sector - CourseyCorridor on 5/21/13 at 12:07 am Good luck going anywhere on private roads. Lots of stupid here.
