Dupre always got a lot of grief for not living up to his hype. A large part of that was coming to LSU during the Miles era where he got little development. I also always felt he had a lot of natural abilities and a good physique, but maybe football just wasn’t a huge passion to him. I remember an article while he was here that he loved to go fishing any chance he got. I’m glad to see he is doing well for himself.

One of my favorite all time recruits! I was really excited to see what he could do at the college level. Just can’t help but wonder what he could have been on a team with a competent QB and OC!

Kenji is actually excellent if you haven’t been.
The Metry location is only going Omakase one day a week I think because Metry.

I’ve heard that’s a tough business.

Also look at the QB's he had to play with...

He showed us a glimpse of what he could have been in his last game as a Tiger. He was a beast against Louisville.

Cultural appropriation

I did business with him at his restaurant in New Orleans. He is a very nice young man.
Proud that he has had a successful life outside of his football career

Proud of our former players for forging their own paths instead of relying on those who only view them as athletes for employment.

Correct. This one is going to have more of a family atmosphere. Its also about 50 yards from Rock N Sake.
The downtown location is fantastic.

IIRC, his parents were owners of several food service franchises
