Some of these are prolly listed but:
Mirror Steak House - My parents would bring me here on my birthday as a kid (early 70's), First time I ever saw a live Lobster and where I learned proper restaurant etiquette.
Shakey's Pizza - The first real Pizza I think I ever ate. Going to eat here was quite the adventure with pitchers of black beer, Ragtime Music, Little Rascals and Laurel & Hardy movies. I ended up working there as teen in the late 70's......unitl me and my pals got busted drinking beer in the cooler....
Peking Gardens - Really good Chinese food, but the drinks were killer. Mai Tai & Zombie would phuck you up.
Brunet's Seafood - Just a locally owned neighborhood style Seafood joint. Nothing was really mind blowing, just good La. fare done right, in a casual atmosphere, for a good price.
ETA: La Rouge Garden - This was really a bar at the corner of Sherwood and Fla Blvd owned by Don Pedigo. He served Steaks, good thick Ribeys right of the grill for $10 and they were outstanding.

What was the name of the hot tamale place near Florida/N Foster? GOAT tamales.
That was the second location of Muffalato’s Hot Tamales on North Blvd. The original was more west on North Blvd in front of the Original Baton Rouge Clinic.

I wired that building. It was originally a Steak & Seafood place. Can't remember the name, maybe something to do with a huge live oak in the patio area. The owners took out a huge insurance policy on the tree, which I found amusing at the time.

You can still get that steak in Walker. His son, maybe grandson, has the recipe.

I worked for an AC/Refrigeration repair guy and one his clients was Calendar’s. After being in that kitchen, there is no way in hell I would have eaten there. I’m surprise the State Board never shut them down.

Was anybody else a fan of Porky's Pit? I'm talking about when it was in the little shack on the corner of Jefferson & Hoo Shoo Too (I think), before they opened a larger location in P-ville.
