Jimmy Buffet's Frozen Concoction Maker

Potted meat or spam Po'boys as a kid (born and raised on the Westbank) then, when I could afford it, it was Hot Sausage ( Pattons all the way) fully dressed. Man, makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

We usually crush Patron margaritas on the weekend. Especially since it's 98 degrees + here in Dallas this week!

I was going to open a REAL po-boy shop here in Memphis, to show them what
it was really all about, but it sounded like alot of work, lol. I love a good
Roast beef po-boy with a handful of napkins for all that gravy that runs down
to your elbows. Then there is the Soft-shell crab po-boy from New Orleans
Hamburger Company. And the shrimp poboy from any one of about 50 gas stations in and around.
And my alltime favorite, the OYSTER poboy!
OH wait, wasn't this about daquiris, lol. OK, I am going to lunch, that's it.

LOL - The oyster Po'boy is my wifes favorite. She must consume 8-10 of those things when we make our way back home. I don't think the gas stations are around anymore ( At least the Danny & Clydes aren't )

It was a sad day when K&B, McKenzies, and Danny & Clydes went away...

OMG, Danny and CLyde's....you had to say it. That was the place. I think the last one we had in Luling,
or Boutte, whichever you want to term it, was gone several years ago, and it really hurt.
But they had a place called Gator Stop in Boutte, it was a Chevron station, and they had a popcorn shrimp poboy
on fresh french bread about 7 inches across and about 14 inches long, 5 bucks. One person could eat the poboy,
and another could eat all the shrimp that fell out when you tried to cut it or bite it. Massive.
But it was like that French Bread from Winn Dixie, too fresh and chewy to bite. I like the old-time crusty
po-boy bread from Best Bakery or Levron's. But it was only about 3 inches wide. My God, the memories.

I only have one word for you.....

MOTHER'S!

Now they make good poboys even if you have to wait in line.

Actually another good place I used to go to when I worked in Metairie was the Short Stop on Transcontinental.

As for the Margaritaville machine - it's on my Father's day wish lish.

Mother's IS the classic, isn't it. I especially like the times when they have a baking pan of cracklin' on the
counter to make the wait a little more tolerable. Can't say I've been there alot, but I have loved it several times.
I also like the Oyster platter at Cafe' Maspero in the quarter. Menu says "more than you can eat", and I thought
that was for the tourist's benefit. It was more than I could eat. LOL

Well, the end of an era has come to Memphis. My friend Mark is moving to Nashville to sell TV
THERE, so gone are the Saturday afternoons waiting for the ice to "cure" so we could blend us
up another pitcher of the tremendous drinks these things kick out. We would do this about three
out of four weekends a month in the summer. Of course I HAVE one, but I don't know 1/20th
of the bartenders, strippers and young yummies Mark does. Nor is my house in pristine partying
condition 24/7. It is a dump. And blending up drinks for 1 is bad mojo.

You need to get out and make friends.

That's the good thing about a thread on this particular line-up. It's not like anyone is going to complain,
or have a differing opinion. It is simply too good for that. I guess that's what they mean by what's not to like.
OK, there IS the little matter of the embarassingly high price, but they don't come off of it in some
secret online clearinghouse. You pay the price no matter where you find it. They sure ain't giving em away.

And don't forget the French Fry PoBoy - a little known option.

Trick in Memphis would be getting the correct bread.
