I recall a few years ago a messy lawsuit situation, the family ganging
up on Dickie, resulting in his not using the Brennan name as his
empire expanded, andcompeted. *So he has Dickie B's, Palace Cafe,
Bourbon House, and one other next to it?

Then this list for a Ralph lists several places, but omits the
original Brennan's on Royal, and Commander's Palace. *Commander's is
always advertised on the hotel cable channel *interviewing Mama (widow
of orig Ralph?) * and run by the two (?) daughters. *In fact, it seems
the original Brennan's doesn't even advertise anywhere.

So,anyone know the dirt? *Are there two, or three, family branches and
separate corporate chains?

i dont' recall the details, but you can find online. there are
several different branches of brennan things, all doing their own
things. one of them has gulf coast/panhandle places, too.
