Sitting here wondering if I really miss Dick's Drive-Ins, or if I just really miss being able to get a really cheap burger while really, really stoned.

It blows my mind that there's not a single good, fast burger option within walking distance, here in this alleged food mecca. Honestly, I've been disappointed in NOLA's food scene (with a few admittedly sterling exceptions)—but that might also be due to the lack of weed.

*ponder*

No. No, it's not. It's due to the fact these swamp heathens have never even heard of the concept of conveyor-belt sushi.

On the other hand, you can go to the French Quarter, get a daiquiri the same way most of y'all go to 7-11 and get a Slurpee, and follow it up with OBSCENELY cheap fried shrimp. Plus Angelo Brocato's pastry shop is the last thing on earth that could possibly convince me of the existence and benevolence of the Catholic God. So I guess it's a wash.

Having decent Chinese food again before I die though, stoned optional, would be really nice. Or Thai. Or Indian. It's a town full of savages, Dante. >_<

I really need to visit Seattle soon. I'll... I'll just be somewhere in-between Xi'an noodles and The Joint, if you want to find me.
