I've lost my scorecard on this family. Was the original Ralph
deceased, and this Ralph a son? Possibly a brother of Dickie?

I recall a few years ago a messy lawsuit situation, the family ganging
up on Dickie, resulting in his not using the Brennan name as his
empire expanded, andcompeted. So he has Dickie B's, Palace Cafe,
Bourbon House, and one other next to it?

Then this list for a Ralph lists several places, but omits the
original Brennan's on Royal, and Commander's Palace. Commander's is
always advertised on the hotel cable channel interviewing Mama (widow
of orig Ralph?) and run by the two (?) daughters. In fact, it seems
the original Brennan's doesn't even advertise anywhere.

So,anyone know the dirt? Are there two, or three, family branches and
separate corporate chains?
