re: F&D board fail .... Off the Hook closing up shop

I appreciate anyone who makes a go at running a place like that. Restaurants in any form are tough

Yep it is definitely tough. The craziest thing about the restaurant business is that you can have several people compliment you on a batch (of gumbo, boiled crawfish, etc. and even say it was the best they have ever eaten) and then someone complain about that same batch and tell you it was the worst they ever eaten and how they had to trow it away because it was so bad, etc. That's always boggled my mind.

It's really a shame it's closing while the Olive Gardens and Applebee's of the world continue to have 1 hour waits for lunch

I know it's the cool thing to say, but this just isn't true. Try getting into Dempsey's at noon.

Dempsey's is in a pretty good location. I'll tell you that the Applebee's on the corner of Airline and Old Hammond is always fricking packed at lunch. The dumb bitches at work love to go there and they're always bitching about the wait.

---

Didn't realize that, can't say that I've been...I've just never noticed a large number of cars in the parking lot.

Based on its' location, I can pretty much guess the clientèle.

Jason...I have 'tooted your horn' for sometime now on this board....Off The Hook and Tommy's are BRs best 2 seafood poboys.

I hope it all works out.......We will support you wherever you go.

Off the Hook is not in the hammond aire shopping center

I think he was referring to Applebee's, not Off the Hook

... enjoyed the damn strong poboy from OTH. Hope it works out.

Jason - I'm sorry to hear about you shutting your doors. I only made it over there a handful of times but I really enjoyed your poboys and everyone was always very nice. I wish you the best of luck in the future.

Thanks, actually Dempsey's was a big customer of ours with our wholesale before I think Seasource jumped in and took the business. Still remember what yall used to buy from us (70/90 peeled, 26/30 headless shrimp, catfish, and crabmeat).

I might put in for a small disaster (due to the spill) business loan and relocate somewhere. I'm not sure yet.

I almost never end up on that part of Airline to have stopped by. If you relocate, I'll be sure to come in and spend some money.
