Rumor a few months back was that they were opening one where the Caterie used to be. Haven't heard anything about it since though.

ETA: From today's Business Report:

quote:

New renderings have been released for the Acadian-Perkins Shopping Center, which was heavily damaged in a New Year's Day 2010 fire. Plans to redevelop the center with a two-story, 18,782-square-foot building and an attached parking garage with 98 spaces were approved last week by the city-parish Planning Commission. AT&T opened a space in the center in the spring; and Burgersmith, a Lafayette restaurant, is set to open its first Baton Rouge location in the center by Oct. 1. Jon Claitor, whose family owns Acadian-Perkins, says negotiations are in process to lease space to a specialty grocer from California. Plans are to have retail on the first floor of the development and office space on the second. To see renderings of the redeveloped center, click here and here.

I've eaten at the one in Lafayette several times and i think it's a good burger. I like their fries too.

Went to the one in Laffy two times the first year they were open. Was not impressed at all - burgers were not moist. Bun was meh.

I hope they don't advertise where they buy their potatoes from. That's creepy and makes me uncomfortable therefore they will suck.

I must have skipped over that part of the article. My interest is now piqued.
