BATON ROUGE, La. – Brandon Landry’s Walk-On’s Bistreaux and Bar made $125,000 in sales on the day of LSU’s last home game against Missouri. Add Friday and Sunday revenue and it was nearly a $200,000 weekend for the popular eatery, which as Landry says is just a 7-iron shot away from Tiger Stadium.
So don’t dare to tell Landry -- much less his employees who budget around expected earnings from LSU’s seven home football crowds -- that the solution to the LSU-Florida commotion is for LSU to simply cancel its Nov. 19 game against South Alabama.
“Some of our staff members, they really depend on game days toward the end of the year,” Landry said.
