There are a ton of people screaming in Nola that they want to go out to eat, but this unscientific poll shows that just 10% of people(out of 1378 polled) are ok eating inside of a restaurant in New Orleans right now.

Widely reported on social media that LaToya had undercover goons passing through the bars that serve food trying to find violations. Of anything apparently. Ironic watching her trying to drop the hammer on some of her biggest supporters. Even more interesting is seeing their unwavering support for that idiot as she is trying to destroy their businesses

You do understand some of the healthy young folks may have older or immunocompromised people that live with them or have to help care for them on a regular basis?


Of course these people exist, and it's smart they're staying home.

And that could be part of why they hesitate right now on resuming normal activities?


They're a very, very small minority of the healthy population. Most people aren't going out because they fall under your above category. They're not going out because of pure, irrational fear.

I understand people over 50 or with serious immune problems avoiding being out

Anyone who is young and healthy who thinks they need to actively avoid being out probably still thinks we are two weeks behind Italy or that we need millions more ventilators. Just plain nonsense from the media.



My Mom's going through chemo, my Dad is immunocompromised as well. It's worth it to me to continue to do takeout instead, so I can continue to have contact with them. That doesn't have dick to do with the media, as much as it is a willing sacrifice for my family.

Just got back from lunch....and have gone out 5 or 6 times inv the last two weeks

Most places have some indicator of where to sit ( or have hostess seat you) like " sit where there are menus on the table" or "this table is not available" signs. And most places jave been right at 50% capacity ( as in all the tables not marked were in use) so most restaurants ive been to have been putting forth an honest effort to stay within the expressed percentages. Did go to cent fl (on atlantic) over the wknd and one place we went to ( water front ball and grill) had all the tape of where to stand etc but no one seemed care....it did look like they had a removed a table or two on the deck to give a little extra space ....there was an hour wait unless you sat outside ( snag anything open...so people were hovering)

I imaging Jax beach will be packed this wknd ...90 degrees

Just ate lunch at 2 Amigos in Kenner (brah). They removed half the tables. Even with that, the place was only half full. No table service (they're similar to the old school Pancho's where you turn on a light for the waitress to bring you more food).

Went to the Bulldog in Nola this past weekend to eat.

Did the cops show up?




No, there were only three tables and we were all outside on the patio.
Felt damn good to eat wings and drink beer out there.

Who are these businesses you are referencing. I'm sure Scott at Courtyard Brewery would be one, but I can't imagine very many businesses being supporters of her dumbass now.

I wouldn’t go to a restaurant now even if the meal was free.

People out of jobs and without child care don’t have much disposable income.
