Understood, and no offense taken. I've never been there and for some reason I thought it was more of a sports bar kind of place, so I was surprised to see that they would be closed halfway through most games. Having lived in Chicago where eating is 24 hours, I'm still getting used to this "dinner time" thing here in Baton Rouge where everyone goes out to eat between 7 and 7:30. This is a city which is noticeably missing late night eats.

If Uncle O's is open straight through the day, I may work it into my late lunch rotation.

Definitely understandable, and I agree. I don't eat my first meal of the day until 2pm at the absolute earliest-5pm at the latest. Lunch-only spots are closed by that time, and lunch menus are done at places that don't close.

By the time I'd ready for dinner, most restaurants are closing--or close to it. It kills me the amount of late night eats we lack because I get off of work in the middle of the night/early morning hours most nights.

Unfortunately, I think BR is so spoiled with our "early nights", that even if more 24-hour places opened up, I don't know that they could find decent staff. We have a hard time just keeping the graveyard shift at my work occupied.

Have you ever been to Panama City, FL? Now THAT is some weird eating times.
