"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. "

On this we agree.

With that said, Tigers open as 17 point faves over Starkdogs. Gators off board versus AA opponent. Lots of value playing underdog in Cal +5 over Tennessee😀

Cal +5... That will be coming down as the bets roll in and I agree with taking the underdogs, but then again I wouldn't gamble since it's illegal in Florida. 😀 Oops, jumping on the tangent bandwagon :leaving:

Emeril is everywhere:lol:
I have zero desire to go to Las Vegas. I don't think gambling is fun, and I think it is bizarre to go to the middle of nowhere to indulge in reproductions of existing places.

everywhere was once the middle of nowhere, even where you sit typing from. vegas is one of the fastest growing cities in the US, possibly taking some of the burden off of FLA. they're really not reproducing things in vegas as opening new places with the same names. vegas is quite fun, if you go there for sights, dining, and shows, for about 4 day max.

Regardless of one's opinion of Commander's opening outside of NO, you have to admit that Bos pulled off a doozy getting Commander's, Pat O's and a host of other FQ staples to locate to Atlantis on the harbor. On the plus side, these places are going to demand a high level of performance from their employees. So either we will have motivated locals well trained by Commander's and/or we will have south Louisiana imports. Either way, I think the workforce is going to improve with time.

True, I have never been, and I might be totally wrong, but it looks to me like an oversized mini-golf course in Panama City circa 1975.;-)

So true, Kimmi! I'm not a gambler, but my trip to Vegas a few years ago was a blast. Truly one of those of don't-knock-it-til-you've-tried-it places. Where else can you experience total luxury and total camp within blocks of each other? :cool:

Somebody should go and talk to Mich' from the Criolla's days. he's a huge in for Commanders. I wouldn't doubt he's doing something with them. Has anybody seen Emeril in Destin. I hear he's being sighted on a weekly bases over at Publix in Grand BLvd....heard he bought in San Destin.

Emeril sold out years ago, so the possibility of him opening a place in Okaloosa/Walton County is actually pretty cool.

What's next, a Galatoire's in Panama City?
