Baton Rouge is the first of eight stops on the morning show’s “Rivalry Express” tour of the country’s hottest college football rivalries. And what better place for the Rivalry Express bus to set up shop than Walk-On’s – voted “Best Sports Bar in North America” by ESPN.

Several special guests – including members of the Tiger Marching Band, LSU’s cheerleaders and mascot, local athletes and celebrities, diehard tailgaters and more – will be visiting Walk-On’s and appearing on the program.  In addition, Walk-On’s founders Brandon Landry and Jack Warner will be on hand, along with executive chef Jeremy Coco, to share the food and atmosphere that makes LSU Football so special.

Local brass band The Michael Foster Project has also agreed to perform during the program.

With more than 150 flat-screen TVs, Walk-On’s has become the go-to destination for great food in a great sports-themed atmosphere.  Walk-On’s, voted “Best Sports Bar in North America” by ESPN, is the place to go to cheer on the local teams, and to enjoy all the biggest sporting events of the year. In addition to Walk-On’s, Last In Concepts has developed and implemented four other original concepts: The Roux House, Happy’s Irish Pub, Schlittz & Giggles and Walk-On’s Catering.  The company now operates eight restaurants in Baton Rouge, Lafayette and New Orleans.  For more information, visit www.lastinconcepts.com.
