Is ruby slipper still operating near Trader Joe’s?
Atomic Burger is still going strong on Burbank, but it’s only been a few years.
Bud’s Broiler had two brief stints, but I think both failed more due to issues with corporate vs franchisers than with customer retention.
Lucky dog has been operating a cart on third street recently and is clutch AF.
Zea’s has been at Town Centre for a long time.

When was this?
I remember a tex mex restaurant there called El Charro circa 2002.
Galatoire’s on Perkins closed years ago

Vincent’s had a spot I believe on Highland near Kennilworth as well, right?

Was after Katrina for a few years.
Had about $200 in gift certificates we never got to use.

Mandina's came and went after Katrina, but I don't think it was ever supposed to be permanent.

Where was Mandina’s? I just saw Spanish Fort has a Mandinas. Never knew.

District Donuts closed, but that may have had more to do with the shopping center they are in. (A building is getting torn down to build nice apartments. Five Guys needed to move and they’re going into the District Donuts spot)
Mandina’s was open for a little while post Katrina.

Mandina's was at Jefferson Hwy and Old Hammond Hwy, where Velvet Cactus is now. So I guess you can count Velvet Cactus too?

Ruth's Chris seems to be doing well.

Copeland’s has closed but there’s still a Copeland’s Cheesecake Bistro.
Is Another Broken Egg a New Orleans area spot? Thought they were based out of the Northshore.

Wasn’t there a restaurant called LaLou in the spot where velvet cactus is now?

The Bulldog killed it when they first came to town 10+ years ago. They’ve cooled off, due to competition like Mid City Beer Garden
