My impression was the average diner was a "new money" customer who wanted more of a steakhouse atmosphere. Plenty of highballs, and BS like that. Dining is more of a social scene then just a great meal. Plus the younger crowd is completedly unfamiliar with upscale dining. My .02
This is why a place like Lafonda's has made a killing there for 50+ years, serving food nobody in Lafayette admittedly wants to eat (I actually like the food there) with Everclear margaritas.

Except that LaFonda is old Lafayette.. People from the surrounding areas and people that are new to Lafayette have to get drunk there a couple of times to appreciate it.
Also, the fact that the menu is Italian specific, limits the diner.. But I'll be there this weekend and I'm looking forward to it. I'm anxious to see what they've done with the place, even though my family's picture isn't on the wall in the dining room anymore.
