Smokey Bones and Bahama Breeze are weighing down Darden's overall performance and this is expected to continue into the near future as management puts together a new strategy to unlock value out of Smokey Bones... like scrapping the BBQ concept altogether for a more Texas steakhouse type. Until it can get these younger concepts in order I don't expect market-beating performance from this stock.
