I live almost in Walker. Not too bad of a drive.

Also, I drive 30 minutes into Baton Rouge anytime I want to eat out. I don't think this will be much of a difference

she would move 90 to nothing

Yep. Saw her about a month ago. The inlaws refuse to have anyone else wait on them

Fred's is not so good(old Berthelots) don't know what they did when the bought it but not as good as previous owners

Did I see the cook on TuneIn or something the other day? Maybe Outdoor Cooking Show? He's about 900 lbs? Big dude. Makes Rosie O Donnel look like an aerobics instructor.

He can fry shrimp though.

That is it, and he is a big fella, but I think he is in the family and not a cook.

He was cooking but I think you are right. He's the son is what I gathered. I like old Marissa's show even though it can be a little low budget.

And he sure is a big boy.

He's not cook, he's the bartender.

It is one of those shows that I watch and seem to enjoy but just don't know why? The worst was one day they were making banana pudding and they actually put the nilla wafers in the pan and opened a CAN of pudding and poured on top
