Restaurants that killed themselves over covid.

I know restaurants were hurt by the restrictions but it seems some places went above and beyond. While others went to go only or limited. Some closed.
I was taking to someone yesterday about Cowbell and they were lamenting how Covid killed them.
But similar places (out of state left wing owned, specializing in high ingredient comfort food) survived.
Others went to to go. Cowbell shut down and let everyone go.
Some restaurants died from the pandemic, some from the hurricane others just killed themselves with overly stri t self imposed rules. Sadly one of the city's best burgers is no more.
I know there are others, this is just the most tragic one.

Needless government restrictions killed businesses. Without those, there wouldn't have been an issue.

I was shocked in 2018 as to how that place was still open.

Locally, it seems most of the restaurants that didn’t survive had given themselves a reputation prior to Covid of being shitty places to work, so employees didn’t come back when restrictions were relaxed.

Firehouse BBQ in Watson planted their flag in the ground and took the fight to douchebag JBE. They won that battle and I honestly thought other restaurants would look at them as a model and band together to give the governor the finger.
Then I realized that most of these owners were supporters of JBE's tyrannical rule, and even though it ruined their business they were so happy to bend the knee and beg to be governed harder by Daddy Governor.

Here in Lafayette Bread & Circus didn’t survive. A combination of staff attrition, and the size of the restaurant did them in. Their indoor seating was too small to really support the restaurant with the restrictions.
It’s a shame because it was the best restaurant in Lafayette.

Avenue pub tried to virtue signal themselves out of business. I don't live in NO so my choice to never go there again probably doesn't hurt their bottom line, but the owner was blaming those "damned people not wearing masks" for Latoya's prolonged shut downs. She later went on and implemented vaccine ID weeks before NO required them.

Politics aren't important, the out of state part is. Most places opening in another state are doing so because they have locations in multiple different places that are obviously successful. Having 1 restaurant fail has different impacts on a guy who owns 1 restaurant vs a group that owns 20+.

A ton of restaurants are just within a breath of closing when everything is perfect. When something this challenging comes out it will clear them out. People who's pockets were deep enough to hold on faired at least OK depending on the political climate they were in. The PPE money spent wisely was a big shot in arm to some and to others it wouldn't have mattered how much it was they were getting while the getting was good. The employment situation and cost of goods have been a huge challenge but the people doing well are doing really well.
