Yeah, nothing like 106 degree heat, hail, and tornadoes...combine it with no culture and bland food and pretensious people, and you have a disaster of a city.

Houston>>>>>>Dallas, any day of the week, FWIW.
The summers are really bad in my native Baton Rouge, that's why I love it here on the ranch in Wyoming.

ONE WORD and ONE WORD ONLY---it has an "AIRPORT". Baton Rouge has a 3rd world airport and the state hasn't given New Orleans Airport any support to expand. This is why companies continually leave Louisiana.
Not even in the top 5 reasons why a company leaves Baton Rouge. Nice try though...

Canes is a regional brand at best. It will have to COMPLETELY remake it's menu and marketing identity to gain national traction.
And don't give me that "but they just opened one in Podunk" crap. Before you do that Google the top twenty restaurant franchises and look at the numbers.
You know, all the "One love" and "no sir I'm sorry we only have five items, eat it and shut up, don't you know I have a cool dog and worked on a boat in Alaska" garbage.
If it wants to join the NATIONAL fray it will ahve to appeal to more than the South Louisiana deep-fried palate. I suspect that is what this is REALLY about. They have to remake themselves.

No I don't. I ran across a Guthrie's in Montgomery on one of my BR to ATL trips once and the sauce was just like Cane's and Zaxby's so I had to go online and figure out why everyone had the same "special" sauce.
I stand corrected then. I always thought Guthrie's originated out of Athens.
I learn something new everyday!

For stuff like the "One Love" theme, corny promos like Great Chicken for Les, and small town production quality commercials I agree. I guess that's why Cane's is moving to Dallas.
I also agree on the menu a bit, Zaxby's still only has chicken fingers, but they have chicken finger salads (I don't think all are fried) and other unique ways to do chicken fingers. It can stay chicken fingers only though, Zaxby's has used that formula to grow to over 400 locations.

Should LSU's MBA program and college of business be given a lower grade due to companies not being able to find executives in LA? I know LSU is home to students from all over the world and nation.
However, I think it is reasonable to say that if LSU's school of business is so good then why can no companies stay here without the state having to fork over large amounts of money due to the fact there is not that many good executives and proffesionals.
Anyone else think LSU's school of business and the MBA program should be given lower grades or am I wrong?

Absolutely. LSU should get a lower score for the inadequate number of highly skilled and desirable professionals it turns out. No business wants to move here for a number of reasons, a major one being the lack of good people. If a successful business needs new top-level executives, or even someone to bring up through the ranks, they have to recruit from other cities.
I am not sure what the MBA program needs to do differently because I do not go through the program, but something has to be fixed.
However, the city and the state have to do their part. We need better infrastructure and less of a tax burden. In short, we need a pro-business government instead of the pro-poor, lazy people (aka, socialist/communist) government we have been stuck with for since Huey P. Long's days. Holden and Jindal seem to be the right people for the job, but it also takes a good metro council and state congress. Those individuals seem to still be stuck in the old ways.
