///Greetings from New Orleans///

Hey, Pistol.....hope you being there will result in a huge Packer Win.  Have a hurricane for me eh??         

Will do Golds!

 

Meeting Packer faithful on Bourbon Street at 7:30 pm.  Latiffe's Blacksmith Shop

Wear your cheesehead with pride!

so what wonderful food have you experienced? Gumbo, Etoufee, Jambalaya, Boudin, Coubillion,  I's gots to know!

Hope you get better results than my last trip there.  That was the Monday Nighter when the Saints put up a 51-burger on the Pack.

Just not during the game.

 

Don't be that guy

Yeah, don't advertise being a tourist knob.

 

Do go to reataurants with locals who will only go there during daylight hours.

The food down there sucks. Best to stick with fast food.

PackLandVA. I was at that game too. Bye Bob Sanders

Close game in the first half, annihilation in the second.  Sizzurp's family sat behind me.

Order anything from here:

It's all ridiculously good. One of many many hidden spots that service and food is amazing.

 

Have a great time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still have dinners and brunches planned, but just yesterday for example: for lunch in the Magazine district, saw a street sign for "Duck Poppers."  We're all, "What the heck is that?" We go in this, we're the only ones there.  Bartender, chefs come out and immediately we're all friends.  Anyway, a duck popper is a bacon-wrapped duck breast stuffed with cream cheese and a pickled jalapeno.  Um, yum, yes, but I ordered the crawfish and crab stuffed beignet and OMFG.  Oysters Rockefellar were still sizzling.   Chef is the young guy, spoke French with him.  It was cool. Dinner at Mothers: oyster and shrimp po'boy and a huge bowl of gumbo. Of course my drunk girlfriend immediately figured out to dip the entire po'boy into the gumbo for best effect. 

 

Very good eats so far Rob. Thanks for asking.

betcha I can tell where you got dem shoes

Ha ha ha!  No one has tried that one on us yet, Satori.  But we were ready.

Pistol .... Wait till you get to the game. Fans are loud and obnoxious shocking right? If Saints do well, it will be unbearable. A lot of racist "go get em boy" comments ringing in your ear. Went to the game in 2008 when they destroyed the Pack, and I  still haven't recovered.

Have Orlando Wolf tell you about his hangover. It was epic!

I expect a different outcome this year though. Rep us well and no cheese head please!!

If you don't go to Willie Mae's scotch house for the fried chicken when you're in New Orleans you've wasted a trip to New Orleans. 

What do you know about food??

get a muffaleta 

 

bring some olive spread home

Pre-game pretty low key:

 

 

 

At the game a bit more I know, but I do draw the line at cheeseheads:

 

I really hit rock bottom in NO during my bachelor party down there 4 months before Katrina during Jazz Fest when I paid $72 for a case of Miller Lite off a beer truck when they charged me the $3 standard charge per beer.

That's my cheesehead.

What do you know about rock bottom??

On the list buddy!

Beads and Green and Gold seems perfectly appropriate, pass the beads out right after the win!

 

But seriously Packer fans across the world, don't ever wear bulky headgear of any kind (cheese head, frozen Packer guy hat, etc.) to any game anywhere unless you know your tickets are in the last row.  Don't be a dick and block the view of the people behind you,  

I agree Bonger

Holy smokes, that guy really out punted his coverage.

 

Been to the Broke Spoke yet in beautiful Kiln, Ms?

Gambling is cool!

Waiting for beef to inappropriately chime in.

Don't forget the fine cuisine of a Lucky Dog and a hand grenade.  

I remember seeing this hot babe with a cart cruising down Bourbon street..so naturally I checked her out

 

She was serving ice cold Jagermeister shots and... nitrous hits in Mardi Gras balloons....

I forget what happened after that

 

 

Are you sure you're not confusing this with Stadium View Satori? I had a similar experience there.

Beer, hurricanes, red wine, scotch (after dinner), beer, sugar free red bull.

Then I'm the guy in the helmet.

Have a GREAT time Pistol. Bring home a Packers win, will ya?

Mother's.
Coop's.
You're welcome.

Thanks Coach, thanks everyone! Having a blast.

 

What a difference a day makes. Packer fans showed up en masse yesterday. 

 

We are E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E in this town right now.   Big numbers.  We might just outnumber the home team.  I'll post some pics if I find my phone. 

Find your phone?!? I think I would have to be put in a straight jacket if I couldn't fine mine!!

On a different note, do you still see the effects of Katrina? Curious as to how/if the area has  recovered.
