Just saw that he's opening a Turkey and the Wolf spinoff in Nashville where I now live which was shocking. I've always enjoyed my meals at the original but have never felt the need to go to his other places even when Hungry Eyes was only 2 blocks from our place uptown.

Hard to justify paying a bunch of money for overpriced cafeteria food

Friend,

I appreciate your made up story. It was slightly entertaining, if not underwhelming and not believable in the least.

With that said, I have been to Hot Stuff 3 times, and I have enjoyed all 3 visits.

Ranking Turkey and the Wolf or Hot Stuff to any kind of national rankings or awards is ludicrous. They are buying this publicity.

Honestly thought it was good… 1$ wings on Wednesday and 9$ red beans on Monday some pretty good specials during the week. Cheap eats for us college students

Never understood why anybody would go to Piccadilly when Woolworth’s had a perfectly good lunch counter.

Black coffee, burnt toast, and a Marlboro. Top 35 meal in any town.

Friends,

I cannot say I am surprised that Hot Stuff’s little overpriced imitation of Piccadilly has now gone away quietly. There was always something faintly theatrical about the enterprise and I will never forget just how small a portion of fried catfish the server gave me that one day. And he had no shame in providing a half ounce portion for an entree. I suspect he fashioned himself one of the card sharks in Caravaggio’s The Cardsharps (did I just confess to an egg corn?) and I the naive fool.

Hot Stuff, like their sandwich shop, never quite learned the accent of this place. It was a pleasant enough charade, I suppose, but a charade nonetheless. In the end, the town gently declined to keep pretending.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

I liked Hot Stuff, it was the only Hereford business I went to with any regularity, but i am not surprised. It was never close to crowded. They overestimated the appeal of that kind of food to college kids, especially the Tulane student body.
