Cannon's folds, new chain to open
Cannon's folds, new chain to open
Nothing official here folks, but I noticed upon my return from yet another week's hiatus from NOLA today that the Cannon's on St. Charles was empty and showing signs of renovation. There's a tweet from @ChefMarySonnier indicating yet another chain is to move in (NO Hamburger & Seafood). What a disappointment! Can one of you restaurant-savvy types explain why we can't get a good local fine dining restaurant in that space? There's already a chain going in at the old Copleland's two blocks away for Chrissakes. Grrr.

too much real estate.
After Mon & Tues, even the calendar says W-T-F!

EC, that's what I assumed and your answer certainly makes perfect sense, but I would think that someone local like a Besh/Link/etc. could swing that and figure some way to make the numbers work. But maybe not. That's why I'm not in the restaurant biz!edible complex wrote:too much real estate.

It's really too bad that Greg and Mary Sonnier couldn't move into that place. With their experience and talent, and that location, it would be a perfect match.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Good grief. What next? We're getting a N.O. Hamburger on the WB.
In the parking lot of a car wash.
Cmon, that space is worthy of way more than this.
Remember Stephen & Martin's?
