Soul Food Festival in BR this weekend

Out of curiosity, does Baton Rouge still have that place called The Table is Bread?

So what do you have to lose?

Your life?

What do you mean by the crowds will be interesting?

You should go if you like the food and music, don’t be such a pussy.

We’ll tell the coroner you weren’t a pussy. He’ll save some time with the autopsy.

This seems like something Mayor Brooke is pushing.

Bring your arse back to the poli board.

I’m sure there will be some black people there but I wouldn’t let them bother you

Sensitive much?

Well to be honest you seem to be the sensitive one.

If it isn’t 500 degrees I might pop in for some collards.

Well the musical lineup looks....soulful.

To date, the local musical lineup includes the blues, soul, funk and reggae band Henry Turner Jr. & Flavor, the ‘King and Queen of the Gut Bucket Blues’ SmokeHouse Porter and Miss Mamie, the smooth southern soul sounds of Uncle Chess and the Groove Band, Demetrio Batiste and Friends, with blues rapper Lee Tyme, gospel/jazz singer Wyanda Paul, R&B singer Xavie Shorts, Demetrio Batiste and Friends, Michael Carey and singer/songwriter Larry “LZ” Dillon. Touring acts are St. Louis songstress Lelani, Virginia based LaToya Rene and Portia Portia from Houston. Gospel performers and choirs include Soulfully Yours, Divine Purpose and True Vine Ministries’ International Choir and Praise Team. Special Guest is Miss Black Louisiana USA, Makeva Armant. More talent will be announced closer to the date.

I hate you

WTF is gut bucket blues?

Also, where is this? Soul food is delicious.

EDIT: Found it. It's apparently on the river just South of the River Center.

There's also a picture on the webpage that contains these items:

Fried catfish
Yams
Smothered Carrots
Chicken fried steak in brown gravy
Cornbread
Collard greens
Fried chicken
Smothered cabbage
Mustard greens
Fried okra
Blackeye peas

All of those things are delicious.

EDIT 2: WAIT. I may reassess my desire to attend. The bottom of the web page lists their address as 4708 Bawell Street. This is where the headquarters are. It does not instill confidence that the whole thing isn't going to be a shitshow debacle. That's my new band name, BTW.
