Opening soon, the Historic Highland Road Grill pays homage to Louisiana roots. See inside.

The Historic Highland Road Grill in Baton Rouge was designed to feel like home and spark longtime memories of growing up in the boot. At 8635 Highland Road, the 8,200-square-foot building formerly housed Sammy’s Grill, a Baton Rouge staple that operated for nearly 40 years. The building is a second home to many Baton Rouge locals, said local restaurateur Willie Chapman. When he took over the building in July to open a new eatery, Chapman felt his only choice was to honor the building and memories made inside.

7 Dishes Families Ordered at Luby's, Piccadilly and Morrison's

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The tray went down the steel rails, and the line moved slow enough that you could think. Luby's started its line with the salads. Piccadilly spread from Louisiana into Texas and across the Southeast. Morrison's was the chain families in Georgia and Florida knew best. The big crowd at all three was Sunday lunch after church, families in their good clothes lined up with trays. The dessert case was always in sight before you got your entrée.
