The Baton Rouge metro area has over 800k people. I'm pretty sure the unwashed masses flocking to a middling steak joint isn't going to mark the end local restaurants. If anything, it's going to kill Outback. So, yay?

I just drove through parking lot. Employees cars take up half the lot, people are fighting for spots that come open. You would think Fertita would have that figured out.

Agreed. There is enough residents and visitors in the area to keep the likes of Ruth Chris, Doe's and all the other $50 on up steak houses open.

I've eaten at Saltgrasses all over Texas while traveling for work. They aren't bad. Better than Outback. I ate at the one in Baton Rouge Thursday because my hotel was within walking distance. My 12 oz ribeye was under $25 and was pretty damn good. So it is what it is. A decent tasting steak that my arse did not have to cook.

One of the most annoying things about living in Louisiana or other hillbilly arse states is that all of you whine about eating, drinking or shopping "local" like it's a sin to do otherwise. Hillbillies going to hillbilly I suppose
