It was located where the Velvet cactus is located (maybe the exact same property, if not, real close.) Probably closed in the 90's.
His son made a couple of runs- but he never had quite the success of his dad.
Chalet Brandt was a type of restaurant that basically doesn't exist anymore. They used to be called "Continental." They were sort of French in their general style, but often run by a German, Swiss (I think Brandt was), or Austrian, who was trained in old European Hotel system.
Every sort of mid-sized city would typically have at least one such place. Most were sort of tired and forgettable, but Brandt really elevated what he did. It just wasn't a style that was going to carry over past the 90s or so, as I'm not sure you can find hardly any of those types of restaurants anywhere anymore.

I think Chopsticks Express on Florida Blvd was the 1st Vietnamese restaurant in town. Then came Pho 98. The owner also rented the space next door and ran various illegal card games at night. It was convenient because if you were losing, at least there was some decent pho to eat.

I know it's not BR but Road Side BBQ in Jackson right before you get to St Francisville was incredible and hated to see them close their doors a couple years ago

We kept that place in business. Had totally forgotten about it. So cheap. Their coupons made it seem like theft.

Our school (predecessor to Dunham) had Frank's as the lunch program one year.
Good biscuits.

Went there for Senior Prom Supper in 1993. Family still has a restaurant in Walker. I just found out about this and hear the food is very good.
I like it. Donald Pedigo is a great guy, too.

Before that, Lobdell Avenue. A friend of mine's brother used to tend bar there, so we drank at a reduced rate.
