ARNAUD'S - NEW ORLEANS



Arnaud's is a New Orleans landmark. We had more drinks made with egg than I ever could have imagined existed. We had the legendary Ramos Gin Fizz(egg whites), something with absinthe & egg whites, and another with bourbon and egg yolks. All very good, and slightly unsettling. The bartender was excellent. He is the heir apparent to the title of best in NO, so he should be. Here's the business.

LATE NIGHT OUT - DOWNTOWN MEMPHIS


Okay, it happened again. Went out and drank enough beers to kill a herd of goats, and one homeless alcoholic. Where was this? It was downtown and I think maybe the Saucer. Help, anyone?

NEW ORLEANS TRIP Part I


Took the Amtrak down to New Orleans for a lil weekend. The "restroom" was anything but. Imagine trying to wield a fire hose while wearing roller skates. The space shuttle flush sytem was great too. I made many trips as the wife and I stayed in the lounge area the entire time.

PHO VIETNAM II - OLIVE BRANCH



Dropped by the Pho Vietnam in Olive Branch, not expecting much(being Olive Branch). HOT DAMN, was I pleasantly surprised! I enjoyed the seafood pho with pig hearts and quail eggs. It's not for everyone, as pho tends to be full of flavor, which most people are opposed to.

In any case, if the soup did not sit well, at least you could deposit into this lovely black hole of a toilet. Come to think of it, I inhaled my lunch like a black hole.

THE HAPPY MEXICAN



What a great little place. I tend to go so authentic on Latin cuisine, it's nice to sometimes just chill out, have ritas and vezas, and just enjoy it. The Happy Mexican's location is good, just down the street, and prices rock. The only drawback is that some of the guests are what I like to call "typical". They're young, they want to be noticed, and they just look typical.

Here's the shots. Huge place with two toilets - one on either end(one was in use at the time, sorry dude.) - and nice elbow room.

NIGHT OUT PICS - GUESS WHERE




You all know the drill, you've been out, and had too many drinks. That's what happened. I have no idea where these were taken. If anyone knows, comment it below. It seems industrial, but it may not be. It might be the BP on Riverside Drive. Maybe I'll check one day. I do remember trying to get into the cabinet. No goodies.

GUESS WHERE


This is one, too. No idea where. I know its downtown. I'm sure it serves drinks.
