NOLA…”Don’t Breathe when you Eat”…
So day three in New Orleans started pretty well. We headed down to Café Du Monde for beignets and coffee. I mean when in Rome right? Their menu at Café Du Monde is pretty simple…First on the list, beignets, second coffee, the rest other beverage choices and that is it! Now how can you go wrong?
double order of beignets
I ordered up two helping of beignets (6 total) and I think I had them gone in about 5 minutes. Oh they were so good! Just don’t breathe in when you go to bite into one or you’ll be coughing powered sugar all over yourself and those within a 100 yard radius of you.
Headed over to the show after and it was another good day. The cars really did look great and we a few folks who were REALLY interested…we’ll see how things work out. All and all it’s a show I think we’d do again, but next year it’s not in New Orleans…it’s in Detroit…at least shipping and travel won’t be a problem, but I wonder if I’d still get per deim 
Show closed at 4:00 pm and it was your standard mad rush to load out. We had made a friend with one of the floor marshalls and he had us first in line to get our cars off the floor. After that everything just fell into place. Load out with just two of us breaking things down only took an hour and a half! KA-POW! The only drawback was like with load-in, in this humidity, I did lose another 10 pds. in water weight.
We were sweaty, dirty, hungry and thirsty, so back across the street we went to Mulate’s for dinner. I got to tell you…I don’t think they have one bad thing on that menu. I had a hankerin’ for bar-be-que and decided on the full slab of ribs and boy oh boy where they good. I destroyed those things. It had the most unique sauce I have ever had and literally was sopping my fries in it so I wouldn’t miss a drop. I can’t recommend this place anymore!!!
It was back to the hotel after that. Had a 5:00 am wake up call for my flight out so did some laundry, watched some HBO and tried to sleep. A good, productive and fun three days in New Orleans.
