...stop at, be sure and get the Cheesy Scrambled Eggs, a real artery clogger. You'll get grits for sure instead of hashbrowns. DO NOT let the grits get cold! Eat them (it?) right away! A dash of salt (helps the blood pressure also...) and some butter melted on top and you'll have Grits Goodness. Shoney's gots grits too if'n you want to go upscale. For lunch, look around for All-You-Can-Eat Catfish and HushPuppies. Yummmm. Sheesh, now you'll want to know what Hushpuppies are! Then how come there's pepper sauce on the table all over the South. You won't get any sourdough toast in the morning unless you're packing your own. Kudzu? It will get you for sure if you don't keep smashing fireflies (driving your rig at night in the Gulf states).

This was when I was usually stuck in Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again. I've been down to N.O. several times hauling chemical tankers around. A very different place even in the South which is very different to us Westerners. Lake Ponchatrain and the bayous... time to move on New Orleans.
