Chuck Berry's robe, Elvis's pant suit, an old Lynrd Skynrd set of drum sticks............its all garbage. Who would honestly want to buy a $75 sweatshirt that says Hard Rock Biloxi? Place is Bilousy.

Bummer about L’Andana. I thought the food was good and the atmosphere was very nice. I’ve never heard of Mooo. I’ll have to Google it.

It was started in Newton and was bought by a CO based company in 2020.

A I understand it, Boston Market did begin in the Boston area and may have originally been called Boston Chicken (rotisserie) as that is all they served along with sides. They then moved (bought out) to Naperville IL (I once lived there) and became Boston Market and expanded their selections. I loved one of the original Boston Chicken's in North Reading MA.

Their frozen meals in local grocery stores are better then most, but still just OK.
