I worked in that stand until I turned 18 and could work on the concession stands that sold beer.

Has anyone mentioned Chef Jake and the rumor that he and Ed Duranczyk were gay?


That one was true. Had gay friends confirm it. Saw them at a halloween party they had. They weren't really even closeted.

There were two burger joints right across from Centenary on King’s Highway. One had a half pound burger I would scoop up and crush when I was drunk late at night. George’s maybe?


Yep. George’s and the other was Strawns. George’s is closed now. Strawns closed that location but opened 2 others in Shreveport and one in Bossier.
