Get crabs from Cormiers quick! last Thursday nite

The bluepoint crabs are coming to an end at Cormiers this Thursday night . So go in between 5pm to 8pm and chow down on bbq or boiled spicy crabs. Order and get a cardboard container overflowing with great taste. Friday night will be the last fish fry of the season ....... 5pm to 7:30 , so go early before they run out. If you don't like the seafood , you can order a pig poboy or a sausage and chicken gumbo.

While you are there reserve your fried or smoked turkey , dressing, ham , gumbo and be covered for Thanksgiving and Christmas. You know once Larry gets his orders, the party is over and no amount of begging will get you in! A 21 year tradition.

Fire and Ice is now open, Jason Humble owner

Went to Fire and Ice Saturday night , good service and food was good. I had the fire and ice burger , similar to the coda burger with pepper jack cheese and Peppers and pepper bread. Nice and spicy with an afterburn. Gerald had the blue cheese burger. We also had the crab augratin before. It was all very good but we could have gotten one burger and used the crabmeat dish as a main course with nothing esle. 2 beers, tea Total bill was 36.00

Went back today (Sunday) for lunch, shared a philadephia poboy. And the mac and cheese sidedish. The side dish was so good, a creme handmade sauce and noodles insteadof macroni topped off by melted cheese. The poboy was really good and tasted great. We also had sweet potato fries with the poboy. total bill one tea , one coke.18.00


The cook is from The Warehouse and a few of the servers are also from there. We saw Brandy that grew up helping Miss Ruth at Arons.

A fun surprise is the bartender from the Samari ..... The guy who has a big fellowing.

Open daily, Sunday to 3 only. They have their wine and beer license so far. Lots of TV's on the walls . Open plan so you can see the tv from anywhere. Both times the place was full.


Burgers , steaks, pasta , unusual appetizers . We saw a couple of brown bags on the tables, it is called catdaddy and is sorta a augratin with fish, crawfish and shrimp for 14.00, not on menu.
Lots of interesting salads .
the restaurant is kid friendly

West Monroe in the new strip center , mill and 6th street.

Jason Humble is the man behind the restaurant and his vision is working! Jason , I will stop by and introduce myself.

No excuse for poor service !

Ok those of you that saw my tweet realize I had to leave or start a big hoopla ! 1) person did not speak english 2) took Gerald writing his order on a napkin to take back 3) got things we did not order 4) totally called over an interpreter and finally got something close 5) cashier was a complete idiot ! I am sure I paid for everything I did not order ..... oh he gave me a 10% discount.... 6) Never will I go back to Chil verdi on 165 in monroe . Tomorrow I don't know, I think a call at least to see if I can get at least a I'm sorry. But the parking lot is always full .... why..that is the second time in a row we have not had a good experience.

Ernestos has taken the Peking in across the street for a indian restaurant . That is all I know ! someone fill me in as you find out .

Shadoe Haze gone from radio stations

Long time DJ Shadoe Haze is gone from Opus broadcasting as of early last week. Opus will be looking for someone to carry on the torch but will continue the Toy and Bike Drive for the Christmas season. Seems to be a lot of production directors moving around .....

The 101.9 program director is going to KEDM to take over Sunnys spot that she was terminated from a few months ago. So 101.9 will be looking for a new director .

It is a cake walk ! who will get the seat first !

Purple Onion was fun

Went to Purple Onion yesterday after going to Dr. Coleman with Gerald and Katie for hayfever.

The Purple Onion is Brian Babbs new venture in West Monroe.

It was good, they are pushing the cheese sticks rolled in tortilla chips with Queso in the middle !
We had some and they are excellent, very spicy.

Menu has a lot of burgers, salads and off the wall things like the skinny dippers. Fun place to go but a little pricey. For us three it was 36.00 , that was cheese sticks, soup bar, salad and soup and 1.95 drinks . They also have a lunch special that we did not try.
