In the spirit of our trip this summer I came up with this meal for my us and my ridding partner and his wife. This meal draws its insperation from a meal my wife ate at Coop's in New Orleans. http://www.coopsplace.net/
In New Orleans most of the stores/homes in the Quarter have the main building facing the street and then wrapps around an inside a open air court yard. At Coops's you eat/drink up front and walk threw the court yard to the rest room. As I was going to the restroom I was hit by this smell!!!! :whistle: No not of human waste but of smoke!!! Sweet,wonderful smell of smoke wood!! They had o big old Binkman smokes shoved full of mesquite wood smoking all there sausages,oysters,chicken,ect that went into there dishes.
The alfrato sause comes from my Little Italian gal Gaida http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/fettuccine-alfredo-recipe/index.html
OK Hear's the raws.

    Man, that is a great cook, JL! Looks like you got some inspiration on that road trip!

    Meant to tell you to give me a holler if you came through Jackson on the return trip. Next time you are riding this way, give me a heads-up.

    Clark we came right threw Jackson but had it hooked straight up trying to make Wort Walton at decent time. Sometime when we arn't is such a hurry would love to! I must say this: HWY 49 between Jackson and Hattisburg has got to be the roughest road I have ever been down. I about launched the wife off the back numerous times!! :laugh: Everytime she saw that strip across the road she clamped down on me!

    Looks like a wonderful shrimp po-boy to me.... You were in my neck of the woods (well 2 hours away), but I can identify with the shrimp po-boy... :)

    There are a few re-paved spots, but I hate having to drive it. I have to get the dentist to check my fillings every time I travel on that piece of crap road!

    The closest I get to you is Hot Springs and I will let you know the next time we go - it might be one of your weekends to be hanging up there. Great place. The kids just traded their ski boat for a pontoon - on Lake Hamilton.
