The scoop of potato salad is $2.00 extra but it's worth it. The gumbo itself is incredibly rich with andouille, chicken, shrimp and oysters. The broth has a hint of something almost sweet to it like ginger maybe? But not too much. This was thoroughly satisfying... but then we ordered unnecessary and delicious sandwiches anyway.
The Saints should play more Sunday night games. It affords fans the opportunity to have lunch and wander downtown rather than having to spring out of bed and hurry to catch kickoff. Also it gives Sean Payton time to hop all the way up to the press box on one leg. Which, quite obviously, is where he should stay from now on if Sunday night's score is any indication.
Somewhere during the third quarter Menckles started telling me she was feeling too sorry for the Colts to really enjoy what was happening. But she wasn't around for this. And neither of us was around for this but I certainly heard enough about it growing up to not feel so bad about seeing some of those demons exorcised.
More later. Also with the weather turning nice it might be about time to break out the gumbo pot at home sometime this week.
Adding additional also: I'm just getting a look at the T-P's annual Dining Guide published in yesterday's edition. Brett Anderson again has Bayona among his "Top 10" New Orleans restaurants. I must have given Bayona a good four or five tries over the past five or six years (which is quite a lot for someone of my means) and continually fail to see the big attraction. But because people keep writing about how great it is, I keep getting suckered into going back. Will it happen again? Maybe!
