I love Cafe Minh! (Never had anything bad)

Their menu:

+ It's all reserved seating. So if one sits next to Chatty Kathy or Max Merlot, I guess there's no moving to another seat.

HAHA flyinbayou...

I still say "carnival" is old school, as I said my parents and (late) grandparents always used that term. I agree one doesn't hear it as much now, with the current generation (myself excluded HA).

I see.

Do you have any idea what "doing Mardi Gras" sounds like?:covri:;)

Remember, PLEASE don't refrigerate your uncut tomatoes....

Technically it appears poor boy was the original term, that said, it certainly morphed into poboy, which is what most people say now (one rarely hears poor boy). Since reading this article, if the late great Chief McCrossen said poor boy, it can't be all bad.;) And in that same story (link below) no...

One day a year, I ride around on an alligator using my Mr Microphone and exclaim to the world:

There isn't anything like Fat Tuesday in the Big Easy!!!!!!!!
