re: Chimes East---That's some very average food they serve.

I'm not even sure if there's duck in their duck gumbo. Someone who worked there told me it was chicken only.

I use the Chimes East almost exclusively for raw oysters. The do have a good off menu dish, that being a blackened alligator poboy which is fairly decent. Other than that, I really don't go there for food.

...and who's that dickbag who sits at the end of the bar like Norm from Cheers? I was actually sitting there eating and he showed up one day demanding me to move because he was a regular and that was his permanent chair. It's the only time that I've had a customer come into a restaurant and ask me to move.
