Muer Seafood Restaurants

Muer Seafood Restaurants are a chain of restaurants owned and operated by Landry's. Originally founded and managed by Chuck Muer, Sr. until his death, the restaurants were bought in 2003 by Landry's. All of the currently open restaurants operate in the eastern half of the United States - the majority are located in Michigan.

Chuck and Betty Muer, along with their friends George and Lynn Drummey, were lost and are presumed to have died in a freak, unnamed storm while attempting to cross back from the Bahamas to the United States on a 40 foot boat on March 13, 1993.

The storm hit much more quickly, further South, and with greater intensity than had been forecasted. By the time the freak March storm left Florida, it had killed more people than Hurricane Andrew and done $500 million in damages. Then Governor Lawton Chiles wrote a scathing letter lambasting the National Weather Service for their poor forecasting.

Later, the freak storm would be called the "Storm of the Century (1993)", the "Superstorm", or the "Storm With No Name".
