Over/under how many stay at home moms are in line for the free organic chicken breast this morning.


Excited about the bar inside. I think it's the only one in Louisiana.

Just left for there. The chicken breast deal was a mistake, but they are honoring it with frozen organ chicken breast. They come out ahead I think when the guy explained the deal to me. I still bought some haha.

The bar is nice. REally nice. Here's a picture

All Louisiana taps for now. Except that Crispin BS. Open until 10 pm. Beer selection to buy is excellent as well.
So many hot moms were there.
I already bought shite I didn't need.
I love it

Actually not too bad. Parking was bad, but you have to consider the place was full of Corporate people. Every worker that was hired had to have been there. At least 3 workers per aisle helping people and a bagger and check out person at every line.
I think half the parking lot was from staff. Plus construction still going on at other businesses.

Actually customer numbers didn't seem much different from the Nola or BR WF I've been to at normal hours
I figure lunch will be stupid though. I'd avoid it until about 2 or so

ETA: Uncle Jack, if you go or are there around 4, I could maybe get a beer with you when I leave work

It's amazing how Lafayette can't build fast enough, yet abandons other parts of town. The old Winn-Dixie and its strip mall just down the road stand virtually deserted, and where Adriens and Gatti Town or whatever it was is nearly a ghost town.

I thought I saw that the building was purchased, but could be wrong.
I've wondered for years why it was never put into use. I'm assuming the price is way too high?

Didn't ask. Sign said "All outside food must be paid for before entering". So maybe.

I bought 2 Cantillon btw
Best beer selection in Lafayette I'd say

You and ham recommend me a few beers to buy over there. Something other than Parish. I need something to drink during day today before hitting the dark stuff.
