Walk-On’s, a Sports Bar From Drew Brees, Is Headed to Irving | Eater Dallas

"I'm noting that Baton Rouge-based Walk-On’s Bistreaux & Bar is a family-friendly sports bar with Louisiana flair; its menu includes duck and andouille gumbo, etouffee, bread pudding, and cajun quesadillas. New Orleans Saints superstar Drew Brees and his wife, Brittany, bought in as co-owners in May 2015. The chain already boasts 17 locations, with many Louisiana outposts and restaurants in Lubbock, San Antonio, and Tyler, Texas, and has been expanding rapidly with more Texas restaurants planned. The 8,500-square-foot Irving location will break ground in early March and is slated to open in October, employing about 150 workers." - Adele Chapin
