"For Immediate Release (August 2, 2007) - It�s an historic icon, cherished landmark and the very heart and soul of New Orleans. It�s the Crescent City's prized possession- Commander's Palace. Since 1880, the famous restaurant, located in the heart of the Garden District, has successfully reflected the best of the city with both Creole and American heritages, as well as some of its own culinary creations. Today, it is with great excitement that Destin developer, Legendary, Inc., announces that this priceless dining experience will soon be part of the Destin Harbor and HarborWalk Village. "

Commander's. YUM! Turtle soup, fish with pecan butter, bread pudding, jazz bunch. I remember one Easter at Commander's when Beach Jacket was about two years old and had her new Easter bunny with her, they brought a plate with beautifully-presented carrots for her bunny. :wub:
I hope they can reproduce the tastes in the new location. I guess we'll wait and see.

There are some things folks just shouldn't attempt to duplicate. It's sad to me that the Brennan's feel the need to do this.

Of course, you are correct. It's just sad. I guess the Garden District location is not doing well. Just hate to see Commander's go the way of Emeril's.

ItzKatzTimeBeach FanaticSanta Rosa Beach2,660 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticYes...it is so sad for New Orleans. We've spoken to many people who own restaurants in the Big Easy. They are really devestated by the lack of tourism that held them together before, and their local business is wayyyy off too. I'm sure Dr. Skunky can give us an opinion on this.
:wub: Commander's has always been a favorite of mine too.....from way back when I lived there. It was a traditional spot for those really special times.
I wish them both luck....Royal B and Commander's Palace. :clap: It's not an easy market out there any more. Let's face it the pie has been cut so thin for all businesses in the panhandle.
When you're in the food business you hear all kind of things coming down the grapevine about other restaurants. I haven't been to Royal B yet, but I want to get there soon so I can experience for myself how they are doing.

Oh my gosh...yessss Sj! They have all had to revaluate their future with New Orleans being so unstable when the next big storm comes through!:(

Significantly more LSU paraphanelia around here in the off season than there used to be, which is probably a decent indicator.
seaside2seaside2Beach FanaticAll over the place785 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach Fanatic
seaside2Beach FanaticAll over the place785 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticThis whole thing is rooted in LA politics that go back to the Longs, severance tax on natural resources, and the sense of "entitlement" that many in LA grew up with. I was raised there, am really old and remember how things were and how they got to the point that they are in now. Before my mother died 8 years ago, she was mad that her property taxes on a very nice house had gone up to $135 annually.
Sure, geography has much to do with the problems that LA, and particularly NO has, but with all the money that has been squandered in that state, there is much that could have been done to mitigate the effects of a big storm.
Read the hisotry books, see the old movie "Blaze" and talk to some old timers.
I apologize for the soap box, but it really pi$$e$ me off that a lot of what has happened to the people could have been easily avoided.
I think that the Brennans are simply trying to go where the $ are, and to some extent, can't blame them. but...........
Good night, Chet
Good night, David

JB nailed it.
