EXCLUSIVE: Deano’s Owner Tim Metcalf to Buy Prejean’s Restaurant
In an announcement on the Moon Griffon Show, Deano's owner Tim Metcalf announced his family is in "the process of closing in" on a deal to buy Prejean's Restaurant.
"We've cut a deal," said Metcalf. "We're in the process of closing on it. I consider it the most iconic Cajun restaurant in the world. It's going to be a huge challenge because of COVID and the live music and everything that makes Prejean's what it is. But I believe in the Cajun culture and I believe I can turn it around."

I also asked Metcalf if he would keep the Cajun theme of the restaurant or change concepts. His reply:
Keeping it Cajun!!! Adding a bit new to it but making Prejean's great again!
