My SIL dated him for a while, before Canes. I was so close.

He was cool as shite when I worked for him. At the time I was helping open up new stores when he first really expended. At the time it was only in Louisiana.

What you see of him in interviews and social media is what you get. Really cool guy. He was a regular customer at a place I worked in college. Very friendly, great talker, and one of those guys that's so rich he's happily aloof

My mom worked for him for 8-10 years when their actual ops HQ was in Baton Rouge. She had only good things to say about him even when they moved everyone to Dallas and she elected not to go.

Do they have any corporate employees in Baton Rouge anymore?

I’m going to open a spot near his dinosaur museum condo and call it Todd’s Tiny Tendies with the same color scheme and stupid dog schtick and hope to one day own his dinosaur condo.

I've hunted with him. He showed up with a mutual friend. Pretty laid back guy around the hunting camp.

Bailey’s was much better. It’s a shame they were run so poorly

Does he have a sister -A? Did he grow up in Woodland Ridge or Camelot?

I also knew his wife and all her friends- have great HS beach memories of that crew.

A long time ago.

Knew the story well. Grade of C on the original business plan and a Summer fishing job for capital to begin the dream.

Does anyone have any rags to riches stories of who Todd took with him? Surely he did some good to others that helped him build it.

He played football for LSU then had his chicken wings place on Highland towards Weiner Schnitzel. And one near Bennington I think.

I have not, but I met his wife, who was his girlfriend at the time. She was or is a very sweet lady.

Yes…his sister Alicia has always been beautiful dating back to Wedgewood Elementary and Southeast Middle School days. They grew up in Camelot subdivision. She went to Trafton and am pretty sure she dated Todd Kinchen in HS. She’s a year older than me and Todd is two years younger.

Saw him at Southdowns the Friday night before we played bama in ‘08 and had a nice conversation about our old elementary school days. Literally hadn’t seen the guy since around ‘81 and we had a couple beers and shot the shite for about 20 minutes or so. Good dude and comes from a good family.

Him, Ruffin, and walk ins Landry sat directly behind me at Bama game years ago in tuscaloser. We were getting creamed and they were considering getting the private plane ready to get of dodge but I think they stayed. Had a driver and everything, they didn’t care. shite I’ll never have to worry about
