Sal & Judy's probably has a high chance at making someone's at large bids

I thought about Charlie G's but its not a great representation of Lafayette cuizine. More of just a nice restaurant in Laffy but would get destroyed by simular restaurants outside of Lafayette.

Yeah. A mediocre place in NOLA would crush them. Good call. I support this list

At least two on my list can hold there own against ALMOST any restaurant in this state.

Also, I think a have some strong at large selections due to the wealth of good restaurants in my region.

Vincent's should slip into this tourney...and East and Nine Roses are likely the best in their respective cuisines in the state.

We're the dynamic duo, TA (he paired us a few pages back)...

Whatever we choose for a final result, that has to be done via e-mail...

But we can discuss preliminary choices right here...

These are not set in stone by any means...


Westbank

Clementine's
Mosca's


Chalmette

Rocky & Carlo's (don't know if there's another option?)

Mid City & Lakeview

Ralph's On The Park
Tony Angello's
Parkway Bakery or R&O's

East Jeff

Impastato's
Ristorante Da Piero
Tower Of Pizza (or some other pizza place)
Le Parvenue
???

At Large

Cafe Degas
Mr. B's
Angelo Brocato (got to have some dessert place)
Irene's

From TulaneLSU a few pages back:



Plan #2.

The regionals will be as follows.

Old New Orleans
(7 FQ, 5 Uptown, 4 at large bids)


Yat New Orleans
(3 Mid-City/Lakeview, 1 Gentilly/ 8th and 9th Wards, 1 Chalmette, 5 East Jefferson, 2 West Jefferson, 4 at large bids)

Florida Parishes to Acadiana
(3 Northshore, 4 Baton Rouge, 3 Lafayette, 2 Acadiana, 5 at large bids)

North Louisiana and Etcetera
(2 Houma/Thibodaux, 1 Lake Charles, 2 Alexandria, 3 Shreveport, 2 Monroe, 5 at large bids)

glassman, clooneyisgod, and niknik are responsible for Old New Orleans seeding.

Brock Landers and Tiger Attorney are responsible for seeding the 16 Yat New Orleans restaurants.

Catman and supatigah, with help from others for Northshore restaurants, are responsible for seeding the 16 Florida Parishes to Acadiana regional.

LSUZombie and LSUGUMBO (and another unnamed Monroe member) are responsible for the North Louisiana and Etcetera seeding.

AT LARGE bids do not, I repeat, do not, have to come from your regional geography. An Old New Orleans member can pick Johnny's if they want.

Okay....I clearly think Clementine's is better...Mo's was a strategic pick because I think it's popular enough to advance.

Let's do Clementine's and maybe Mo's as an at large.

I would like to dip into NOLA for out at large...but how does that work since we don't know what the other teams are picking.

I wasn't sure how you wanted to handle the at-large ones...whether popular choices are the key, or if it's something like a "dark horse" that could make it interesting.

Thought Cafe Degas or Mr. B's would work for that sort of thing...

As far as popular goes, you could always opt for Jacques-Imo's, but perhaps not.
