Christ I ran that river from 1980-2003 from Venice Marina to Port Eads and my arse hit a mud flat or a sand bar nearly every time. Mostly when I was running in the fog though and drinking.

I've been to two eat clubs but both before Katrina. Vincent's and Pampos. I had a chow number years ago too but can't remember the number. It's a good time and as nik said depends on the restaurant for price but he tells you that going in. Also he has always brought several bottles of his own wine and always shares.

He's not near the douche (although he can be) that he is made out to be. He's quirky, a dick, confrontational, nerdy and really pretty funny sometimes if you just take it with a grain of salt. Do an eat club and he's very personable and genuinely happy you have joined him.

And he is very in tune with what's going on, being said about him and whatnot. A lot is generated by him because his livelihood depends on it. (you call that living?)He sells his own advertising and that is how me makes his money. I tip my hat to the guy (warts and all) for doing something many of us on this board would enjoy doing if we could make a good living at.

As irrelevant as a lot of people here want him to be we are on page 4 of a week old thread discussing his attitude towards "poor boy" and in a month we will discuss his turkey brine in depth.

No publicity is bad publicity. Just ask Charlie Sheen.
