re: Did anyone grab a bite to eat for lunch at the old Bengal?

My uncle managed the Bengal for like a decade in the late 70s and 80s.. my first trip to BR as a kid, we stopped into the Bengal and had what i still consider to be one of the best hamburgers I’ve ever had.

Sadly, by the time i was an LSU student in the 90s, the Bengal was a shell of it’s former self.. i’m not sure if it was it’s not-so-great location or what, but every time i’d go there with a buddy, we’d have the whole place to ourselves.. at least the drinks were still cheap.
