Didn't Vernon Roger own a place back in the day?
Roget Cajun Kitchen. It was off Blubonnet/Perkins across from Office Depot. I think it only lasted about 6 months then Vernon committed suicide. My friends and I ate there a good bit the summer of 02.

No. There used to be a Russian nightclub in Brooklyn by the same name that I went to once. Had a good time.

Thanks. I had heard about it, but didn't know details.

Rasputin had a kickass New Year's Eve party one year. Great music and crowd. One or two other times I went, they still had nice looking crowds. The blood red velvet interior and gold chandelier was more like a bar in Greinwich Village, than a place in Baton Rouge. They had a dress code and didn't allow entry with shorts.. Not surprising that it failed.
Apparently, the story was the first owner of the place wasn't good about little details like submitting sales tax collections to the city-parish and paying vendors. After a few months, a new owner took over, and the guy had to go to the Metro Council on his knees, apologize and swear up and down that he would do better. No wonder the place ended up closing, when you dig yourself a hole like that.

what was it before dreamland?
"The Grill"
And it sucked. Or at least it did the one time I went. I never made it in to Dreamland before it closed, but it sounds like I didn't miss much.
Wasn't "The Grill" the place the owners tried to keep going for a while after Dreamland pulled the franchise?
Posted on 1/17/17 at 12:30 pm to Y.A. Tittle
wasn't there also a place in perkins rowe with that name?
Posted on 1/17/17 at 12:35 pm to BilJ
the grill room. its where lava cantina is. the setup was strange though. they had a stage behind the bar where a band could play

I thought it was The Grill, then Dreamland, then Bulldog, but I might have the order reversed for those first two.

Primo's on Bluebonnet was odd too
Posted on 1/17/17 at 12:47 pm to timbo
In a way, I'm glad it was due to tax fraud and not lack of interest due to the concept of the place. It was metropolitan and cool.

Southdowns’ Bushwood BBQ and Romacelli Bistro shuttered, both very short lived.
Posted on 1/17/17 at 3:51 pm to supermastres
I actually went to Bushwood the second or third day they opened and the food was alright but damn that atmosphere just wasn't right for a BBQ place.

You read my mind on frickin chicken. I don't think they were in trouble. I think the owner had family issues that forced him to move. Cant imagine the rent was expensive there. Much better than canes

Marrazil's was raking in the cash when it was just a bar, prior to offering dinner service.
The GM of the joint also liked to keep the withholding taxes of his employees and spend it on himself. That little charade only lasts until the end of the year though....
Rasputin's closed b/c the owner was a crook.
