Eddie - I actually worked for Zatarain's in Gretna, LA for a few years before transferring over to its parent company McCormick. Stayed in the Omni in the French Quarter and ate at several of the great restaurants Muriels, Brennans, Commanders Palace to name a few and visited many other great sites. It's a great city to visit anytime, but Mardi Gras & Jazzfest are really special.

Hey Don,

Been Living here for over 30 years now. Its a great place once you "detoxify" first from the Northeast. Its a tremendous culture shock at first that took me a year or so to adjust, but after that I loved it. It sounds like you are familiar with the fact that its basically a yearlong party that moves from one special event to another. My favorite was always Jazzfest. I don't know if you remember Chris Williams, but two years ago he came down and stayed with my wife and I for Jazzfest and we had a blast.

Got to get ready for a Superbowl party. Enjoy, Geaux Saints!

Thus the old adage has been proven once again:

"Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while."

And the remaining disbelievers, cynics, and doubting-Thomas's even begin to embrace the notion that our time as a team, no, as a city, has finally come. And the "Who Dat" Nation rejoices as one, releasing a resounding "Amen, Lord," to a clear night sky. A reveler says, "Let the dancing and the celebration begin."

Somewhere above the music it's announced, "Now let Mardi Gras 2010 begin!"

Congratulations to the Saints and all their fans. Although I really didn't have a favorite, I did get excited for the Saints after Peyton threw it away. Lord knows New Orleans needs something to be positive about. So savor the sweet victory!
