Sometimes the condescension in the food world is really hard to take. "Iced-tea drinkers" "blue hairs" etc. Money is the same color in every wallet.

I think the problem is when it comes to making money is that for low to moderate priced generic food out that way, there is just too much competition. That place would need to be turning alot of plates and selling a shite load of ice tea to really make money in it's old format. Selling alcohol is how a restaurant really makes money and the older folks weren't buying much of it.
When they did, that wanted their high ball glass filled to the top with bourbon and only wanted to pay $4 for it. :)

There are a decent amount of people in RR/Harahan that eat high end food,but I just think the mind set is that if they are going to dress up a litte and pay big money, they are going to the city.
