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...

Good luck going anywhere on private roads.
Lots of stupid here. Lots of taking for granted things that have been so successful, we look at them as failures only in light of a time when it was done better.
