Geaux Tigers!

We stopped at the Waffle House for breakfast/lunch today. Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices. TWH is one of my least favorite places to eat, and one of Joe’s favorite. (There is no accounting for taste). But, really, did I mention its one of my least favorite places to eat?

I just think that if you have a dirty kitchen, don’t broadcast the fact and put the customer seating right in front of your stoves. There are just some things better left to the imagination. Shudder. But, like churches down south, there is one on almost every corner, so they must be doing something right. (What it is I’ll never know). If you’ve never been to one, trust me, its nothing at all like an IHOP. ‘nuff said.

The worst part was, we left the Waffle House and drove up the road a few miles to a truck stop and guess what was right next door to the truck stop? A BBQ place!! (Now y’all can be very proud of me, I did NOT inflict any bodily harm on Joe when I saw that!) hmmm, it was probably closed anyway, right? Maybe I’ll just take a walk to town and walk through the daiquiri drive thru and get a go-cup.

Earlier today I spotted a Chinese & Soul food restaurant. That was one place, not one of each. I would have loved to have seen the menu there. What do they have? Sesame chicken with a side of grits?? Kuang Pao Collard green and crawfish? (hmm, that’s an interesting idea).

We also passed another interesting concept and one that you could expect from Louisiana as well. It was a mens hair-cutting "lounge". Now, you have lounges on every street corner in Louisiana too, which begs the idea, do they have topless beauticians there, or what?? A bar, for sure and the Tigers playing on the big screen TV. This has got to be the only place that the college football team is more popular than the pro team. We even saw LSU Tigers bottled water for sale in Wal-Mart!! And that’s ok by me, they ARE my favorite collegiate team!

Well, its 4 pm, and not even one load offer yet today……………A truck came in to fuel before, and the name on the door was Empty Pockets Trucking! We feel your pain, brother!
