## Story

The brand today announced the unveiling of a new restaurant prototype – the Wildcat – which will debut with longtime partner DMBC’s newest location that is slated to open on Sullivan Road, near Grand Settlement Boulevard, in the Baton Rouge suburb of Central. This will be the first location to feature the Wildcat and will be used as the blueprint for DMBC’s remaining six Walk-On’s that are still in development.

Walk-On’s Wildcat design is the newest prototype introduced by the brand. Smaller than its big brother, the Bulldog, the new design still packs a punch with seating for more than 200 in a modern footprint with interior and exterior dining.

“We’re so excited to partner with DMBC on the launch of this exciting new design,” said Walk-On’s CEO Brandon Landry. “Our new model offers the same game day experience both inside and on our patio. While the restaurant will be reduced in size, the experience will stay the same.”

DMBC began its partnership with Walk-On’s by acquiring the Lafayette location in 2016.

At Walk-On’s, each dish is made from scratch, using fresh ingredients to bring its mouthwatering Americana and Cajun cuisine to life. The diverse menu features unique twists on game-day staples and upscale takes on Louisiana mainstays, such as Crawfish Étouffée, Duck & Andouille Gumbo and Doughnut Bread Pudding made with Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
