I would love to know what the shares were sold for. Those guys must have been born loaded though to get the first one built.


Jack wanted 16 Mil total but got 12 and got to keep Schlitz and Roux House. Pretty good deal if you ask me. The Landry family owns Acadian Ambulance and his grandfather owned the land that Walk Ons is on and donated it to them in the beginning. From what I hear, the split was pretty bad. I don't know what drove them apart, but apparently they haven't even been speaking to each other for awhile.

Interesting. I heard the opposite but then my source on this is suspect.

Ohhhh. That explains everything. I always wondered how they got that prime real estate.

As far as the food goes: I might be giving them too much credit but it seems like they had intentions to spread beyond Louisiana from the start so they chose food suppliers who could deliver the same products no matter where the restaurant is. They're not winning James Beard awards but it's a serviceable burger place.

You have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about. It's so funny to see people come in here and act like they have a clue.

she said she was family of the original owners and said they are expanding nationwide. Frisco, TX is opening soon too
