So it's Saint's season here in New Orleans and I've never seen anything quite like it! The store I work in has a 2nd story window where you can look out into the French Quarter. Game days are my favorite and least favorite days to be at work. Favorite because there's nothing like being in New Orleans on a game day. I get to be at work and see and meet all of the people dressed to impress in their Black & Gold. The girls at work come dressed most appropriately with a black and gold flair. And when you look out into the quarter it's a sea of black tshirts and gold jerseys. I love THEME days! But it's my least favorite because I'm stuck at work and I'm missing all of the festivities!
This last Monday I just happened to be off early enough to join in. I came straight from work to a wing & beer joint down on Magazine. Here's what went down...
So a little bit of shoddy photography, but I was working with an iPhone because I might have forgotten my camera this day. (oops!) Like I said, black & gold as far as the eye can see!
This is 100 oz of beer. It's 10 bucks once kick off starts. It shows up at the table with a stack of plastic cups and then you're own your own. With as busy at that place got, it's the best way to go.
Pre-game.
So to start off one had to test out the appetizer menu. FRIED PICKLES! Yes please. They serve it with their own in house ranch dressing. It's so good i found myself going through 2 of them. Note to self: They are .50 per cup so try not to eat just the dressing. (I had 3 of them by the end of the night, that stuff is really good!)
Kick off.
Time for the game. We needed food! Wings, of course. With veggies. That called for more ranch dressing.
Half time.
Fried Musrooms. More ranch dressing.
2nd half.
More beer.
I realize that this is a little outdated but we did win this game. Go Saints.
WOW is a chain and can be found throughout most of the greater New Orleans area. Fun for a football game, the wings were pretty good, the ranch was great and the beer was cheap. All in all, an evening well spent.
dang woman!...everytime i read your blog it makes me hungry!...take me here when i come to visit!
