Holy Crap. Raising Cane's gets third place for "best late night dining" and second place for "best service." It's a drive through. That list comes off like a parody.


and, ironically, raising cane's spends over $45,000 a year with 225 in advertising, imagine that ..


eta: oops ..

Thats enough just sustain most mom and pop restaurants in town and they are spending that much on just advertising alone through one outlet. Their recent billboard campaign is a bit ridiculous. Who the frick cares who Adam working at Lee drive is

That can't be right. 225 doesn't reach nearly enough customers to be worth $45K a month.

I agree. Even if you included The Business Report and InRegister (and whatever other publications they might have), I can't see getting to that number. What does a full page, back cover cost? $2500 a month...and that would only be $7500 for all three.

In the category "Best Restaurant Worth the Drive," Houmas House is listed as 3rd. Houmas House isnt even a restaurant... its a plantation and gardens. They DO have 2 restaurants in Latil's Landing(fine dining) and Cafe' Burnside (more casual). But they dont advertise with 225 so I guess it wasn't worth explaining.

IMO, Latil's Landing is one of the best restaurants in the south.

FWIW, Houma's House won the #1 tourist attraction (Big Louie Award) in the state of Louisiana by the La. Tourist Commission... but you wont hear 225 mention that.
