An institution in New Orleans.

Mom and Dad used to take us kids there on occasion back during the Pleistocene period.

Don't recall much about the food but do remember the ambiance and old-style feeling of the place.

Great food. Owners were fighting with each other. Bankruptcy associated with partnership problems.

Ate there once, EXCELLENT. Too bad.

Red state...nothing to see here.

The Iconic movie, Breakfast at Brennan’s was made there.

old-style feeling of the place.

I'm thinkin' that's pretty much all there was during the Pleistocene.

That, and some great ribs.

[Ditter]

Too bad. There used to be a Brennen’s in Houston too. I wonder if it is still here. I have lost track of it.

Do you know how to make a small fortune?

Start with a large one and open a restaurant.

Still there at 3300 Smith St. They aren’t affiliated with Brennan’s of New Orleans.

OK thanks, I always assumed it was a chain.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Always liked Drago’s when in NOLA.

Not my favorite New Orleans restaurant (I'll still take Commander's Palace or Galatoire's, or a couple of others), but still great food. If the bankruptcy results in the restaurant's closing, it will be a sad day.

Brennan's White Chocolate Bread Pudding with Dark Chocolate Rum Sauce was to die for.

The home of “Bananas Foster”.. I have no reason to live now... Sigh

Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen at the Downtown Disney mall in Anaheim, Calif. serves great food. I hope they stay open.

I don't have to go to NO for cajun food, Mr Ditter is a cajun cook. He has French Cajun heritage and decided after we got married 56 years ago that he would learn how to cook gumbo. He sure didn't learn it from his mama. :)

My one NOLA thing on the Bucket List is to eat at Galatoire’s once...

You mean Antoine’s of New Orleans? I don’t mean Antoine’s of Flatbush!

Acme Oyster House. Loves me some Boo Fries.

Been there several times back in the day before New Orleans became a third world s-hole.

Hate to see that happen, but the family members have been fighting each other for a while.
The lawyers on both sides probably did well.

Back when I was living in N’Awlins, I had a friend who was a long time customer of Galatoire’s. He, I, and a few friends would go sometimes. As soon as we sat down, his waiter would start bringing food. We never ordered. The food just came. My favorite: trout almandine meunière and oysters en brochette.
