at $5 per chicken finger you think he'd be worth more

Can't wait to hear some fresh takes on the size of chicken tenders.

I will give credit where due… the last time I visited a RC was two weeks ago in Broussard and the tenders were decent size. Not Cane’s on Lee size circa 2003, but decent.

I still miss the Canes of the 1900s when sauce poured freely from a dispenser and honey mustard was an option.

They don't ever publicly state the financials of his businesses. Same with Reily and Company. Goldrings and Reilys are both multi billionaires.

Don’t forget the Chouest family.

Being a private company has its advantages.

Gayle is a guess as private debt is not publicly available information and when they settle with the heirs it created a lot of debt.

Together, the combined value of the Saints and Pelicans is approximately $7.5 billion as of early 2025.

Goldring is worth six billion and probably could liquidate to a total more than Graves and Benson,

Not in same league doesn’t mean not billionaires. They’re worth a billion for sure correct?
