Every time there's a Monday Night Football game with the Saints, they show footage of Mother's Poboys. It's gonna be the same ol' stuff. If it's your only visit to New Orleans, chances are you'll end up on Bourbon Street even though it's the last place most of us locals would want to be. Cafe du Monde is the same fodder. Not defending "bizarre" or the beauty of NO cuisine, but this is what the public's perception is and will want. :::cuts to stock footage of streetcars and some semblance of a steamboat:::

And this is a big plus. It could have been stock footage of someone getting the shite beat out of them on Bourbon, a Mardi GRAS Shooting in front of a Popeyes, NOPD looting a Wal Mart or a roof blown off the Superdome full of Democrats.

And if he would have gone to Clancy's it would immediately be turned into a tourist trap on this board and all would claim how much it blows.

It was positive advertisement for the City and appropriate for the structure of the show. People should be happy these shows come to town.

True, but I have had several acquaintances from college come in town and go to Mother's and all thought it was great. We're spoiled.
