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 !

Cormiers blue crabs set for a few more Thursdays
Cormiers Blue Crabs are held over due to the place overflowing last night with customers. Larry will cook for the next few Thursdays of October except the 15th. He has a catering job that night.
Friday nights are fried fish night. You know everybodys fish is a little different which is what makes it so fun....... Larrys are good and sorta like granddaddy used to cook outside in the fall.

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.

Athena is gone for good, Indian Food coming !
Saw a couple of cars at Athena's, I stuck my head in and asked when they were opening.
It is reopening at some time, as an Indian restaurant. I will miss Athena. I love greek food and hate that it has failed again.
Maybe the cooks will reappear somewhere else soon.
Funny----- signs "for sale" have been freshened up. so does that mean the people that are opening have purchased or just another group leasing.

Artichoke DeSiard and other rich foods
It is interesting how many places use local bodies of water,for naming their specialities . The Chateau has Artichokes DeSiard which is so rich, the appetizer could feed two people. it is fried artichoke bottoms with a sauce and crab meat on top. The Waterfront Grill has it's Catfish DeSiard.
Cypress Inn has it's blackened catfish, grilled with a crawfish sauce named after George Young a customer.
Chateau has a dish named after Eric MaHaffey , with fetticini , and shrimp scampi blended. We listened to Erics story recently as he was having dinner of how that came about.
We do have some good restaurants here in Monroe.
I also got a report of grilled oysters as an appetizer at The Sage. Also Mohawk in West Monroe does a grilled oyster on the half shell.
I would be remiss if I didn't talk about the Cormiers grilled tilipia at lunch with special sauce .
Good eats tonight !

Chateau a winner
Ok , one of my favorite places is "Victors" aka Chateau. It did not disappoint last night. Wanted something with taste. They have the best steaks and I love the beef vegetable soup. Last night a crab meat cocktail and an Italian salad were hits.
One thing about victors if you go in at lunch, you never leave hungry with the specials. Salad, Soup, bread , a special, and desert.
usually if we go with friends, someone asks for something not on the menu. The waiter never flinches. Just says sure. pan fried fish with crab meat over angel hair is not on the menu but they will do it ! Yum.

Fast Food home of rude servers, does anyone care
I have been amazed at driving thru the local fast food establishments. I don't know if the owners just don't realize just how many people are turned off by bad or poor service.
This am went to my favorite Sonic on North 18th Street to get my one allowed coke of the day. You can understand when you are limited on something, that it becomes important to have it right.
The server Missy must have missed her morning coffee or her happy pill, because she was not on top of her game. Ordered , got up to the window, after 5 minutes of sitting there watching her talk to her fellow workers she said, oh what did you order ..... once I got it and drove out, I took a sip .... and guess what wrong drink. Reparked asked for another but hopefully correct drink.... she came out, ten minutes later still with another wrong drink.... at this point I was a little peeved...She said , well , I guess I will have to go get you another and the look!
Yes, I did say something like Missy I think you need to maybe listen to the customers and put on a smile. She said, I don't have to smile and you know we are busy.
By the way no receipt , I figured either cash going somewhere esle or just didn't want anyone to know name or have a tracking record. But yes her name tag was pinned on so I am deciding what to do next !!!!!
I figure if you fog a mirror and can pass a drug test , you are in !
