(PROJECT) S&J Oyster Bar....

[joiei]

I sure hope they have changed their recipes from the Brookside restaurant.  I grew up on the Gulf coast and lived in New Orleans for several years.  S&J gumbo was not gumbo.  It was aweful.  I realize that this is the Midwest but your much better off eating at Heberts down on 71st.  Ed's brother Jim Richard made the best gumbo I have ever tasted at his restaurant in south Walton County in the panhandle of Florida  Stinky's Fish Camp is the name.

Never went to the first,  still exciting to have yet another local eatery open.

I had lunch with a friend today who told me some of the delay on S & J as well as getting the rest of the project moving is Sager apparently is having a hard time finding any contractors to work with him who will touch the project without cash up front.  I can't say I blame them.  His reputation is notorious.  Too bad the city and V-2025 didn't vet him a whole lot better.

FWIW, there is a new "S&J" sign in the windows. There has also been some work going on in Whiskey Business and it appears to be close to opening.

And going in next door to S&J is some Yoga type place... Saw signs in the windows during lunch... have forgotten the name.
Good to see new businesses filling up the area (and this building)
