re: Blackened Brew in Hammond: my review page 13

I've never bought a steak from them before, but it's obviously working for them.
I remember when they first started selling meat. I was thinking "WTF is this?" Meanwhile, Rickie and Dickie sold quality steaks and complementary bottles of wine (or vice versa) from their package liquor section. Many years later, they now have a reputation for quality steaks. I guess that just shows how much I don't know about running a business and adjusting to the market.
I didn't know about their catering/wedding reception policy, but it doesn't surprise me. Rickie is about the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. He supports everything in town. (Early prediction: He'll be buying lunch/dinner from his "competitor" next door.)
