the short-lived Cotton District Cafe, what happened?

to spend a Sunday or Saturday to watch some football. Every BWW is the same with a bunch of TV's, beer, and wings. It's a winning combo. And since it's a chain, it can't be screwed up.
A Wing-House in Starkville is beyond me, it would be a gold mine. Heck there might be one there now, not even sure. BWW food is horrible.
I can say that Ker's Wing House is the best.

it was incredible late night food, not sure if it was really good or not.
Veranda can blow anybody out of the water with their wings.. period. whatever goes there has to have that "gimmick" thats GOOD, that also gets people in the door, like a mugshots. the rest will be history

The wings are bigger than Hooters and women are not as ******. All around the best wings, beer and entertainment.....college kids would eat it up.
I did the landscaping for the Hooter's headquarters in Clearwater and asked several of the founders of Hooters how they got started. They could buy chicken wings back then for 20 cents a pound. I still can't stand Hooters and went to WingHouse all the time. Had some folks down from MS and they liked it so much they spent all weekend in WingHouse.

I was really looking forward to what it could do during football season. There must have been some falling out somewhere, because this bar had good crowds. I don't know how Bart was managing it, but I seriously doubt he could screw that deal up. It was one of the top bars this summer, and definitely drew the crowds to be fiscally fine.
After they just added the balcony, I doubt they were ready to leave. The Great Dan Camp must have really pulled some outrageous stunt to force their exit. I'm sure something will come out.
Mississippi State would be better as a whole if the camps would just cut all ties with the cotton district. If it was managed by someone else it could actually see improvements and growth. Dan Camp doesn't give two ***** about it though.

Once again, have any of you been to cowbells??? On Mondays, all you can eat wings. Dollar draft, huge High def TV's in every direction........In fact about 50% of the menu is wings. It is a hooters/ BWW combo with an MSU theme, only difference is that they have bands on weekend nights.
you obviously have to sell food to make money. The cdc wasn't selling enough food to pay the overhead. When a bar does a $8 all you can drink special when the bar has to pay for the domestic beer they sell at .67 cents a bottle (and on draft its more like .75 a glass do to the excess spillage) the bar may have 100 people in it at $8 a person = $800 for the night. Say each person drinks 6 beers .67x6=4.02x100=$402 after cost. So what I'm saying is they should have tried to sell more food and I know they didn't because I know the owner very well and he wanted it to be more of a bar than a restaurant.
And a heavy concentration of the golden triangle's chain smoking contingent to go with it.4suredog said:
From the very beginning the CDC had no plans to push their food (and it showed in the quality). I think their plan was simply to be the 'big' bar in the Cotton District. That space has more potential than to be just another watering hole. It just takes somebody with the sense to make it just as much a restaurant as it is a bar. You can make a killing in that building with the right structure and plan (See "The (old) Grill").
I could be wrong, but I'd bet there's more to the story than "Dan Camp is an ******* and kicked us out."
re"> </span><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-spacefrom what i have been told, dan took back control of the building. Heis bringing a full resturant their with no late night bar, like the grill was. No clue if he was mad at the loud music, or if one of his sons wants to run a resturant again. Dont know if he just terminated the lease or what. Who ever owned the cdc had put some money into it. Pretty much what happend to the Grill. Dan gets what he wants and is not afraid to double the rent and force you out.
