Tiny little checkered tablecloth place. Good Po Boys though. But honestly, there are many places, depending on whether you want shrimp or oyster or roast beef (which is really good done right. Lots of debris in them).

Now I'm hungry.

...even though yer post was not lousy. I remember a camping trip to Spirit Lake near Mt. St Helens back in the mid 1970s. The beach consisted of a thick deposit of pumice. When you kicked a bunch of it out into the clear cold water it floated away like popcorn. Not sure what relevancy my old observation has to this thread considering that this is a new week and that beach is still buried.
