Not sure our population density meets their model.



This is sort of what I thought, but it's not an issue of "density" as much as raw population numbers. I don't think NOLA metro meets their necessary criteria.

At one point it was 2 million in the metro. This was 10 years ago. May have gone up

Said some gentrifier not originally from New Orleans. You know, the Bywater was once a working class neighborhood. Most real New Orleanians cannot afford to go to full-service white tablecloth restaurants for every meal.

I can't think of a single chain that isn't already in New Orleans that there isn't a better local version of.

New Orleans has great local hamburgers, fried chicken, sushi, burritos, sandwiches, gyros, etc. New Orleans even has a few decent BBQ joints. I don't see any market niche that's not currently well-served by local restaurants. The only thing that I can think of would be maybe a place like Jersey Mike's. New Orleans doesn't have a lot of places that serve a great Italian sub which isn't a Muffuletta for some reason.

Nothing, let that shithole burn and hopefully that will cleanse the state some.

New Orleans has no shortage of cheap fast casual options that are locally owned and priced competitively with chains.

Pollo Loco would do well with the growing Hispanic population in Louisiana.

Cafe Rio was a great white people mexican cafeteria style restaurant. Basically a non Tex-Mex Izzos. Not the best, but in 10 minutes you could get a decent wet burrito for $10. Great salsa bar, too.
