Long live interview about opening up. Good publicity for the city.

Washington Post had an article about Louisiana a couple days ago that quoted him. Talked about the double whammy of low oil price and covid killing tourism.
For Louisiana, Pandemic a Two Black Swan Event Battering Economy
Also talked to Ti Martin (Commanders), and other restaurant and oil biz folks.

Beneath his trademark bravado, Cvitanovich knows the 51-year-old business founded by his parents — and its 700 jobs — might not make it through the novel coronavirus pandemic intact.
"I'm struggling," he said later, after serving 100 dozen plump gulf oysters for $20 per dozen. "Right now, I have five Drago's. This time next year is it possible we have less than five Drago's? Absolutely."

Louisianans pride themselves on being able to endure disaster — but the pandemic is already proving to be worse than the yardstick by which catastrophes are measured here: Hurricane Katrina in 2005. More lives have been lost statewide to covid-19 — 2,440, compared with an estimated 1,833 to Katrina — and the economic body blow is shaping up to be more severe.
"There's no crisis we've had that even comes close to this," said Greg Albrecht, the state legislature's chief economist.

What shitty timing for the BR location to open. I haven't even been yet.

I think it will do well once we get it up and going. Hope so. Hope it dates better than Galiatoire's did.

Galatoires just went to crap over time. It was pretty good when it first opened. I'm sure they'd still be open if that didn't happen.
Somebody is going to turn that building into a successful restaurant. It's a great location. I just can't believe the last place closed in the patio. That was one of the more unique features of the building.

Yeah I went twice in 2014 and it was good both times. Then I started hearing from other people how disappointed they were. I didnt believe them. The service had been top notch. Then, just before the flood, we went and it was just subpar. I never understood why.
