Doesn't everybody? I thought that's how you get on their mailing list.

I've never lived in New Orleans, but I enjoy reading that "Blake Pontchartrain" history column, as well as "Julia Street with Poydras the Parrot" in myneworleans.com.

I wish Shreveport still had a decent history column. Someone would have to do it for free. The Times could have picked up the Journal's excellent history writer for about $100 a week when the Journal closed, but they didn't want to spend the money even though it was the most talked about column in town.

Bud has been dead for like 40 years, ownership of the franchise has changed hands twice since then most recently in like 2015 i read. Service and quality has been slipping the last four years or so. i avoid that place now

Don't know about Lee

there was a thread about it on there. Lee was a franchise owner and Buds tried to strong arm him but threatening to take away the franchise if he didnt pay more. So he rebranded and serves the exact same stuff.

there is more to it but i believe he actually posted about in on here.


ETA: i mistaken Lee's for Bens.

Cyborg Saint is Ben. Or at least that is who talked about the situation.

Watch how many locations go up for sale when their 10 year agreement is up.


Do you know about when that agreement ends? What is funny is that if they buy the one next to you it actually might help you since they have gone downhill.

The previous owner ( when i was still a part of the franchise ) worked under Bud and eventually bought the franchise and kept it going like 35 years, new owner took over two years ago and is shitting on it in my opinion.

Interesting to see what happens.


I was sad to hear about the Calhoun St. location shutting down.
