I've been mixing mayo, ketchup, and Louisiana Hot Sauce to eat with fish and shrimp all my life. Of late, I sometimes add a little soy sauce, also.
The guy who created canes sauce, Todd somebody, took the recipe from a restaurant he worked at... It wasn't even his.
The CEO and founder of Cane's is Todd Graves. He spoke to a group of business students at the CAB building at Tech. He wa a "professor for a day."
On a different subject, does anyone want to venture a guess on what the recipe is for Bee's "hot-water" cornbread? I love making cornbread, and it would be a welcome addition to my limited portfolio of things I can actually create in the kitchen.
BTW, if you are looking for some outstanding cornmeal, you have to get a bag of Calhoun Bend Mills Cornmeal. It's stone ground, so it has a coarser texture than the store-bought kind. If someone has a cornmeal out there that they swear by, let's hear it.
Speaking of Bee's... Does anyone else think that Russell's Bee Restaurant just isn't as good as Ms. Bee's? I'm not knocking the food, it's really good. I just think Ms. Bee and her girls did it better!
Shakey's (or was it Shakee's) in the OLD Wal-Mart parking lot. And for fish, Catfish Cabin in Quitman.
Fried chicken? Frankie's (delivered to the dorm!)
Pizza? Cushino's (bought out by Johnny's who grabbed the Cordaros' muffuletta specialty)

I agree. But neither of them touches Blue Light.
Going there tomorrow for a pork chop just because you reminded me how good Blue Light is.
According to the latest financial news, Starbucks' profits are down 97%, with locations closing across the US. At least 9 of them are projected to close in the greater Baton Rouge area.
Is the Starbucks in Ruston still open?
They've been closed for a good month now. I'd bet the one in Ruston is probably gonna stay open. It probably does good numbers. the problem with the Starbucks down here is that they opened too many in close proximity to each other. I'd bet there were 4 Starbucks within a 5 mile radius of each other. There was one in a Albertson's shopping center on Highland Rd. with another not a mile up the road at the Highland I-10 exit. There were several cases like this.
Yeah, Starbucks' policy of saturating a market with multilple locations contributed largely to their failure. Here in the BR area, they put kiosks in a number of chain grocery stores, and then they came up with locations in close proximity to McDonald's and CC Coffee Houses. That policy may sustain itself in times of plenty, but $4 lattes are hard to sell in times such as these.
BTW, I was here in BR in the mid-1980's when Johnny's Pizza attempted to make a dent down here. Many people said that their products were great, but there was too much competition down here, and all the locations folded, much like what's happening to all the Starbucks locations in BR and across the US.
BTW, did the location of Johnny's Pizza (I believe it was the original one) just off Tech's campus, manage to stay open, or did they close it? If so, when?
Still goin strong...it gets a ton of business
If you're talking about the Johnny's location on Arizona (former site of Cushino's) across from Neithken . . that site was razed, what, last year.

That's the one...I had a lot of good times there. Great place to meet people and fraternize, particularly after ballgames. I guess the ole adage comes into play here: "Nothing good lasts forever!"
But we still have a Johnny's. It's on Tech Drive next to the Quizno's. The Sweep the Kitchen is the zenith of pizza!!!!
