Truly a New Orleans legend.

Arthur J. "Mr. Okra" Robinson, the so-called last of the New Orleans street vendors, died Thursday (Feb. 15). He was 75. Mr. Robinson's death was confirmed late Thursday by his stepson, Teddy Stansberry. Mr. Robinson was a beloved figure in New Orleans, where he was known for driving his brightly painted Ford F-150 loaded with fruits and vegetables through Uptown, Bywater, Bayou St. John and French Quarter streets six days a week.

If the James Beard crew had any decency, they'd recognize Mr. Okra. He's truly a legend.

Loved that Dave Matthews had him subtly on his record Big Whiskey and a the Groogrux King. It was recorded in New Orleans and has a lot of Nola Easter eggs.
YouTube the song "Squirm." Fast forward to the last 30 seconds if you don't like Dave.

Lucky enough to see him cruising uptown on our last stay in Nola.
