In 1973, Robert and his brother Billy started a seafood delivery business, and the next year, the family opened a Cajun Seafood Market.
In 1977, the Brunets opened a restaurant called “The Galley,” changing its name in the early 1980s to "Brunet’s Cajun Restaurant." Brunet’s was known for its seafood dishes — made from family recipes — and could seat more than 300 people. The restaurant was open for 34 years, and the brothers retired in 2011.[1]
