Nice job to alienate the neighborhood around you:

frick that guy. Just because he couldn't run a successful business in that neighborhood doesn't mean it's "the worst location in Baton Rouge." I use to live right behind Brandts and I now live two blocks away. This guy is crazy.
My coworker just said that Greg Brandt is going through some personal stuff right now that might be affecting his business and attitude.

Not even close to true. I lived just down the street from Brandt's on Steele Blvd. until very recently and the place was always packed. I know he's been pissy about that old building across the street for a while, but it doesn't seem to have affected business.

Something tells me Gus Young and Acadian would be a much worse location...
Screw him.

Sounds like a cop out, to me.

He was pretty busy all the time and has been for the eight years he's been open so I would hardly say he can't run a business.
I've known him since he was about 7. He's a great guy but just always kinda had a chip on his shoulder.
Hope he moves somewhere else and reemerges. He's very talented.

South Bronx would be my preference...

The dude has a terrible attitude, period. He is an a-hole and I feel sorry for Ms. Paula, the blonde waitress/hostess.
Location does not matter for his type of restaurant as its reputation precedes it.
Look at Maison Lacour's location. enough said

Some of the absolute best food in Baton Rouge - I hope they re-emerge soon.

Pretty lame to blame the location.

doe's is less than a block away and does fine. Never made it to brandt's and will regret it.

His dad died just recently. I hope the old man never had to see what a dump the Chalet Brandt building had become.

Fellas, that corridor must make all it's dinero for great chefs in the lunch hour, don't blame Brandt.
Govt St has seen Larry Masciaz Maci's go(former CIA trained chef under Charles Brandt..I worked there for a while)..
Vasken pulled the plug on Serop's home base and elegant Govt St digs, after a glorious era where he had one of the few BR places ever that drew Orleanians to Rouge to dine(re: The Original Village, Del Lago, etc..)..
Giamanco's, it also like Serops hiring Sheriffs to work nights in the parking lots for the last decade-plus before shuttering up and selling..
Phil's Oyster Bar/Opie's..
Vasken's protege's Chicago, then was later that Northshore outpost that served the Shepherd's Pie, etc..forget the name..now Does..
Whether you guys want to label all Rougeans scaredy-cats for not wanting to walk to their cars on Govt St after dark(Not me..I don't mind..used to live in Garden District)..
Don't act like the helicopter doesn't fly over nightly, nor the Rite-Aid and Walgreen's at Govt St need to have fulltime night security, and not just the occasional cop car around like their Coursey and Essen locations.

Maci's was one of my favorite places. Larry would take me into the kitchen to demonstrate some of his techniques. And Carol was a one-of-a-kind waitress.

Ate there almost every Friday night for years. Most of the staff had been there forever. Having Dixie serve you was like having your own waiter at Antoine's.

Hassan. Carol from Maci's worked for him there and later at Tomatoes off Essen Lane. Last I heard he had landed at the Belle of Baton Rouge.

I don't think Doe's is doing much evening business.

Maci's was terrific - and I remember that waitress. She was great.

Any chance this guy will join forces with Johnny Deangelo & Mark Maggio and open up a restaurant with deep self destructive personal issues, but with incredible food?
