Bud's Broiler A-Frame on Vets is No More

Spent many days there during the summer. Just a short bike ride from my house when I was a kid. The bowling alley nearby had great burgers, too.

Friend,

Thank you for sharing this most upsetting news. That was one of the architectural landmarks of Kenner and, indeed, of the Veterans autoplex. I am honored to say I enjoyed several delicious hamburgers and orders of perfect cheese fries there. I do not know if the Preservation Resource Center had any jurisdiction over this part of the Metro, but I am not too pleased they did not petition to have this site preserved. It is indeed a sad day for Kenner and the entire Metro area.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

the Kia Dealership now owns the Bud’s property. They want to connect the two dealerships on each side of the Bud’s building.
The building was originally a franchise called Heap Big Beef. The franchise didn’t last long. It became a Bud’s around 1970.

I'll continue to support Ben's Burgers Soon all Bud's will be a memory like to dodo bird






this was yesterday (6/6) before the demo

The reason for the building's unusual shape -

Before it was a Bud's it was a "Heap Big Beef" with an Indian theme and was shaped like a teepee.

Check in if you have eaten at the Heap Big Beef.

I did.

It was still there yesterday afternoon, but there was Demolition Diva equipment next to it.

It had closed 2 or 3 years ago.

Wonder why it took them so long to finally knock it down?
