Why anyone would shite on authentic Baton Rouge Cuisine on a LA message board is beyond me

Alfredo is super easy to make at home, if you want to try that and skip on OG

Oh, I make it all the time. She more brings up going to OG when we're in an area of town with one and it's close to meal time. And even then, it's only once every few years. I can suck it up and go that infrequently to make her happy. Their food isn't horrible to me, just not somewhere I would seek out to go to.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is one of my all time favorites.

I know it's a complete tourist trap and there are tons of better options... but. Oceana in NOLA would be a very good restaurant anywhere else. Get the blackened redfish poboy. (Not usually on menu, but all you have to do is sub blacked redfish for catfish on the blackened catfish poboy.)

We got a $200 gift card for chili's for $100, we were kitchen remodeling and it seemed like a good deal.

Just not very good food, I know we tipped the waitress about $50 on our last visit just to get rid of the card. At least she had a good time.

My question about Olive Garden is WHY? There must be 25 locally owned places in BR that are cheaper and much tastier food. I don't get it.

I stick with Walkon as my pick.

It does suck and the carpet stinks.

Never been. I am so glad my daughter grew up a bit and decided we no longer have to go to the OG for her birthday. Now we get to go have sushi and all is well with the universe.

My only Red Lobster story. I had a claimant who lived in Alex, he had a knee injury that was legit, I knew it was going to be expensive, but I wanted to keep him away from Neblitt Beard, no sense for them to get a cut of the deal, the guy deserved every penny he had coming to him. So twice a month I'd drive up to Alex, bring him a maintenance check, take him and his wife to lunch, they always said they like RL. Not my favorite, but no problem, I wanted to keep them happy.

The case was getting close to settlement, this guy was going to get near $800K, but that's ok, cost of doing business.

I drive up to Alex one Friday, they have said the settlement is fine, their uncle the lawyer said it was good, the bartender said it was good, the next door neighbor said it was good, but they are still dragging their feet. My boss is saying WTF, I'm sick of driving to shithole Alex and eating at crappy RL, why won't they take the money and ride off into the sunset?? I heard "we have to think about it" 100 times. They are living in a POS trailer, she's gonna pop out another redneck any day not. They have eaten a cubic ton of those stupid biscuits in the last 2 years.

Finally, I realize they may be talking to a 1-800 law firm, so I figure I just have to cut my losses, I "sadly" tell them that the insurance company and my boss said if I don't settle today, I can't come every 2 weeks, the checks will stop.

The guy says he wants to sign right now, I explain I made arrangements with a local law to handle the release and give him his check as soon as we go there, it's 5 minutes away.

While I'm paying the bill for lunch, I ask him why it took so long to decide, he could have had he money weeks ago.

"It's like this Mr Andouille, we really look forward to having these lunches with you, you're a nice man and fun to talk to, we're sorry that we won't be seeing you anymore. Hell, if you had took us to a place better this, I might still be holding out."


Well f*ck me.

I love papa johns with garlic
