The entire UK is 6 hours ahead of God's time (CST), so if a 7pm kickoff, it would indeed be 1am.
There aren't that many LSU fans over there, but there are a couple.
And, broadcasting over there is tricky, as TV rights are very restricted.

Example: We don't have a TV in our flat, and so we don't have a subscription package. We got a letter from the gov't that we don't have a package, and so they have the "right" to enter anytime without prior authority or notice to inspect whether we are illegally streaming. Wild stuff mate.

Wild stuff indeed. I'm surprised the Islamist still allow pork.

So I was sent to a job in Newcastle for a few weeks, then informed that I had training in Liverpool to attend. I remembered your post and decided to drop by. Service was quick. Your jambalaya is great, Gumbo delicious , boudin balls are great, my only suggestion would be to add some pepper jack but that’s a preference. Red beans on point. Bonus points for being in an Irish pub. I will try to update post with pictures when I am able.

nope, but if you're abroad, and the food in GB is notoriously bad/bland(unless you're eating ethnic,) I'd have to give it a try

You are correct. I’ve been eating British food for 2 and a half weeks. I wanted a small taste of home

We found a local butcher to make andouille sausage


I'm sure you already know this but the original French version of andouille sausage, which originated in Normandy and migrated to Breton cultures, is different from the Louisiana Cajun variety.

We gave them a recipe from back home (Louisiana).
They’re doing a solid job of recreating it so we can maintain our authentic flavors, tastes, and smells.

I get data notes daily.
We ALWAYS ask every table if they’ve been in before, if they’ve been to New Orleans, or if they’ve had New Orleans food before.

Last week, I was reading it and it said one guy was saying that our place smelled just like his kitchen. He’s from Broussard.

It's just plain fun to read your experiences. And thank you for sharing some of the numbers.
A cousin thinks he could open a pizza restaurant because he's half Italian and likes pizza. If he will read your story, he might get a clue of all the sides of a business he has overlooked.


Re Southport: is there a way to attract business from Chester? That tourist packed locale has some of the most mediocre restaurants in that part of England.

Damn dude.
Incredibly appreciative.
Thank you very much.

I’m sure Abraham took good care of you.
That Pakistani Christian is an honorary baw.

It’s def a unique experience, and for those reading and you for dining, that food you ate was prepared by either:
Abraham-Pakistani
Zvetlana-Romanian
Bea-Argentine
Dylan-Brit

No Cajuns or South Louisianans touched any red beans or boudin you consumed.

I came back by after a walk about. And with Liverpool playing in the champions league I can see how the pub atmosphere will have an effect on business. If you found a stand alone and got some parish beers sent over you could probably make bank.

I am planning a trip to the UK in late July or in August. Considering a couple days in Liverpool mostly to stop in and eat, as the photos on your site look tasty. My lone trip to Europe was 40 years ago, and I rented a car on the Continent.

Would you be able to recommend easiest travel from London (assuming train), any local accommodations nearby for a party of two at a reasonable price, and Beatles tour or other local events or activities?
