I can't believe he admitted to eating Rac00n. My Daddy used to love it. I can't imagine myself eating a cute racc00n. Even though I hate them around my yard - they are cute - and deserve to live.

Welcome back @xoxodede

Hope all is well with you.

Had a relative who was bitten by a rabid racc00n, so I've always been afraid them.

Jan 28, 2025
The National Football League and Goldbelly are launching a Super Bowl LIX tailgate kit.

For decades, locals and tourists alike have flocked to a quiet corner of NOLA’s Treme neighborhood to line up for a taste of founder Willie Mae Seaton’s downright magical fried chicken, which is dunked in a spicy, secret-recipe wet batter before being deep fried to juicy perfection with a flawless, shatteringly-crisp crust. Willie Mae’s was founded by Seaton back in 1957 as a barber shop, beauty salon, and bar (hence the “scotch house”), but in the early 1970s she converted the low-slung building into a full-time restaurant. The building was badly damaged during 2005’s Hurricane Katrina, but it bounced back stronger than ever. Sadly, a fire devastated the restaurant in April 2023, but once again the community is rallying to rebuild, and in November 2024 a new location opened in Downtown New Orleans. Willie Mae’s was named an “American Classic” by the James Beard Foundation in 2006, and today Seaton’s legacy (and recipes) are carried on by her great-granddaughter, Kerry Seaton Stewart.
