Whole thing seems corny and pretentious

I haven’t heard anyone call anything “gay” in casual conversation in years but I’ve heard about 10 people call Supper Club’s whole fake exclusivity fake Vegas Lounge concept gay since they did their big instagram push last week. Baton Rouge needs a lot of things, but an overpriced fruity Vegas dinner-only douche magnet concept isn’t one of them.

It doesn’t help that they basically copied Ruth Chris’ entire menu aside from a few quirky apps and small plates and a few “””premium””” offerings like “””A5””” Wagyu and select steak cuts, which are probably grotesquely overpriced and not that great of quality. I don’t understand the appeal aside from the weirdo swingers club, and those people are going to be at French Market Bistro on any given night.

I saw an interview where either Brandon Landry or the writer said something about everyone needing to be in a blazer because the “place is supposed to be fun as hell” and “we don’t need anyone killing the vibe” like what? I don’t know how big of a desperate wannabe never-been you’d have to be to think something like that is cool
