As They Say on Animal House: “Food Fight”

My daughter and I mostly get along. Occasionally, we have our little disagreements. Little as we each become a little bull-headed, expecting the other to see the error of their ways, insisting that we are right. As I said, a little tiff.

Usually, it is about food, and usually, it is when one of us is too hungry. Yesterday’s tiff was about whether to try to find food on the Tulane campus to test their food service. After our tiff and a bit of a drive in our huffmobiles, we ended up walking through the commons to see what they offered, having a smoothie, but having lunch elsewhere.

Tonight’s tiff was about where to eat dinner. My daughter wanted soul food, cheap, in New Orleans. I had a headache and didn’t want to drive having taken a muscle relaxant. Thus, we were looking for cheap soul food near the St. Charles streetcar. Turns out: no such thing exists. There’s expensive N.O. seafood or cajun. There’s soul food all the way out in Metrarie. After another drive around the block in our huffmobiles, we ended up getting a recommendation for Voodoo BBQ. Not great, but not bad either.

Hopefully, we’ve made up. We’ll see if we can find soul food in Montgomery AL as we drive to Atlanta tomorrow. I’ve told Erin Atlanta should be a more soul food town. N.O. is more seafood, cajun, and creole.
