What about Dickie Brennan's and Palace Cafe?

Beat me to it Y.A.

I was wrong. He's got Bourbon House, not Mr. B's.

I don't know who runs Mr. B's. I thought Ella originally had a hand in that.

You're forgetting Dickie, who's got Dickie Brennans, Palace, and I think Mr. B's.

Cindy Brennan Davis owns Mr. B's. I think Ralph might possibly still own a portion of it. He was involved originally. Cindy runs it, though, even if he still has any ownership. That's the only restaurant in which she's involved, I believe.

Turtle soup. Decent.

Rib steak. Great piece of meat.
Potatoes tableu for a side, they were pretty good but not really my thing.

This is a Ralph place and it has been there for at least a year now.
And I agree, it is pretty good.

so the building was sold, ok, i was confused... it was purchased by the people that brennans is in major debt to.... i could see them hiking up the rent, and or/ kicking them out
