I really liked the pilot.
With a great cast of characters, this is just a brief introduction to the situation of Frank Parrish inheriting a restaurant from his late father which he never knew (gone since he was 2). From the supporting characters we get the sense of family that the Chez has produced over the years, and how Frank is now going to be a part of it.
Though Frank looks to sell and return to his life in Boston, it is evident he will be back to run the restaurant and adjust to his new transplanted life.
Having watched more episodes than just the pilot, I have to say that Bubba is one of my favorite characters, and that Tim Reid is great as Frank, a really nice and likeable guy getting an education in New Orleans history and living.
