The Outhouse. Now there was a dive. Thanks for reminding me of that one.

[DestinCajun]

You're kidding, right?? How about Camelia Grill or Dot's Diner? And THE ULTIMATE DIVE in the entire State of Louisiana: ROCKY AND CARLO'S!!!

Stick to the subject, you're doing New Awlyins eating places. (How about the Hummingbird Grill? Buster Holmes? El Ranchero?)

_ I was asked to start a food thread to help carry us forward to football season. Well, I'm starting a thread but not a food thread (I'm saving that for later when the flowers on the helment folks come out in full bloom).

This is a "dive" thread so you old timers take a trip down memory lane with me. You can comment on any I've listed or add your own. Add an asterisk if you barfed in it between the ages of 17-22.

Just hanging out along the strip - sometimes mid-week was like a weekend! I remember when streaking was in vogue and Dean Blanco had to come out to the strip to get the students back on campus! I think it was a Wed. night, too!
Good times, great memories!

Brass Rail hamburgers & fries....................mmmmmmmmmm

(How about the Hummingbird Grill? )

right across the street was for years my favorite place to catch the parades..

Brass Rail hamburgers & fries....................mmmmmmmmmm

Rail burgers and too much beer are the reason I put a couple of asterisks by the Brass Rail! But they tasted sooooooo good!

I'm disappointed we aren't hearing from more of our resident experts on this subject. I guess all the uniform and helmet research going on has them totally absorbed.

what was the name of the place across from the keg on the side street, had good bar food and flaming doctor peppers
