Quite the opposite, I eschew processed food for homemade. Bake my own bread, cure my hams, like it fresh as possible. I was pointing out to you that where I have seen that cuisine you describe succeed is in Vermont, and of course California. The food was healthy, natural and bland beyond derscription. South Louisiana is a food culture, I just don't think there would be wide appeal for a cuisine in which the geneology, where it came from, of the food is more important than the taste.
If you ever try it, I would put it near a university in an area that food is not so important.
No offense, I just think this is a poor market for the concept.

Mine would be very simple, sort of like how Cane's is. It would be drivethru only. I'd have jambalaya, red beans, etoufee, and gumbo (more than likely). All would be memorable and make you want to come back for more. Each would come with bread, not sure what kind(s). There would also be the basic drink choices.
It would be open until 3am on the weekends.
Would put it wherever I could find a place with a drivethru that has shutdown...somewhere in BR.

As tacky as it might sound, I wouldn't mind someone opening up a drive-through gyro place.

Sorry if I offended you, just discussing on a discussion board. But, your restaurant idea is very popular in certain areas and I wouldn't be surprised to see some attempts to introduce it here. I'd be curious to see how they do.

Why would that be tacky?
I just wish we could get real gyro in the USA and not this pre-formed shite that's passed off as gyro.

Afreaux, there used to be a place on Florida Blvd, across from the Ag Dept builing. They used to sell gyros and chicken shawarma with fries. That's all they sold, it's a check cashing place now.

Baton Rouge needs breakfast tacos. You could run a pretty low-budget operation and work every day until maybe 2pm for the slackers.

I would open an Ice Cream Shop, call it 'Swensens', and put it in the LSU Union, right where the McD's is....
I can't believe I forgot there was an ice cream place there.
When it closed, I'd end up going to the little ice cream place the Dairy Sciences department ran, next to Tureaud Hall.
I was in the Dairy Science shop last year. I assume it's still open?
Was Swenson's also in Cortana Mall?
And I'd open a hot dog stand that served hot dogs and encased meat sandwiches. I'd probably call it "The Hot Dog Stand"

I'd open a Cajun restaurant over here in Orange County, CA. The usual assortment of Cajun & New Orleans yum-yums would be on the menu. I'd call it Woodreaux's.

I would open a CRACKER restaurant serving CRACKERS from all over the world.Saturdays would be all you can eat and Sundays kids eat half price and 10% senior citizens discount. Yall come on down to UNCLE CRACKERS and whistle while you eat.
