Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Don't know. Thought I'd played it, hadn't.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:12pm
Franco Twinkie:

Okay, that was just bait to get the conversation going. I've never had one either. Earlier today, this culinary curiosity was hinted at elsewhere, but no factual information was offered. A search showed that they are readily available in the area. I will source one, and get back to you.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:13pm
Candy-O'67:

I starred the Exits, Kris! Loved it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:15pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I like lobster and chimichangas. I could definitely see that being a Baja thing but can’t recall them specifically from my prior visits.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:17pm
Franco Twinkie:

Matt, I don't know how these things escaped me, But I am determined to rectify that oversight.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:18pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Crawfish enchiladas are a thing in Louisiana. I’m not sure if they started at Jazz Fest but that was where I first encountered them. 👍
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:19pm
Franco Twinkie:

That is something that I would eat in a snap!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:19pm
Candy-O'67:

I'd eat 'em, too!

think this Harlem Shuffle is really live or audience dubbed in?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:20pm

Candy, weigh in please!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:21pm

It might have actually been Paul Prudhomme. He had a recipe in his cookbook in 1984.

Kris Holmes:

I think we have a couple of copies of a Paul Prudhomme cookbook & it has excellent recipes
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:29pm
Candy-O'67:

Kris, we should go eat there when you and Misa come to Austin sometimes. They have outdoor seating. It's small and excellent!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:30pm
coelacanth∅:

i don't like lobster much but in things sometimes. lobster quesadilla sounds really good. i don't know if that's like a chimichanga or not...
Avatar 🥁 11:30pm
Kris Holmes:

ooooh, i'm keen, sounds delish
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:31pm
coelacanth∅:

i think i've said this before but i used to think "chimichanga" was a fake mexican food...something benigan's invented
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:31pm
Candy-O'67:

Yay! The brisket Banh Mi was sooooo good!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:32pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Chimichanga is basically a fried burrito
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:33pm
Candy-O'67:

Thx for that link, Matt
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:34pm
coelacanth∅:

ohh, right Thank you Matt.
yeah never had that.
i think i'll just have a lobster burrito then! i'm sure it's just as good
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:35pm

Ha, coel! I remember Bennigan's!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:38pm

i'd eat a crawfish enchilada too. haven't eaten crawfish since 1/2 my life ago. i ate a lot of crawfish etouffee, at one time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:40pm

Candy my girlfriend when i was 24 waited tables there, so we ate there regularly - and i swear they were good back then!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:41pm
Candy-O'67:

I used to think they were good way back when, too!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:43pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I remember it existing but can’t recall eating at one
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:45pm
coelacanth∅:

i remember it going downhill, until it was pretty terrible!
and the atmosphere changed from loud and silly to even louder and kind of mean and ugly. people seemed to go there looking for a fight, or looking to rip someone off
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:45pm
Franco Twinkie:

Matt, Sounds like it's worth every heart stopping mouthful!

Candy, beautiful presentation on that sammich!

Coel, Benigan's? I don't believe I've had the displeasure.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:46pm
Matt from New Orleans:

My mom used to go to the original
Fridays on 1st & 63rd in NY. It used to be a place to pick up women as insane as that sounds nowadays.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:46pm
coelacanth∅:

i don't know how widely dispersed the chain was Franco. i'd be surprised if it still exists though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:48pm
Matt from New Orleans:

It does Coel. A company relaunched it after it went out of business and was in purgatory for almost ten years.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:49pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Are we going to get past the “fabulous” records tonight?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:49pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Should have just waited
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:49pm
Franco Twinkie:

Not here Coel , I can tell you for sure. But the very idea of having a brawl in a Mexican chain restaurant is the stuff of comical nightmares
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:50pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Bennigans was sort of a chain Irish pub if anything
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:50pm
coelacanth∅:

Matt, woefully tgi fridays was the best bar within at least 15-20 miles when i lived in a particular part of new jersey. and tuesday was long island iced tea night. very strong and 2 bucks.

Bennigan's was a little of everything
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:51pm
Candy-O'67:

Wasn't it Irish based at first?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:54pm
coelacanth∅:

it probably was. they decor was vaguely "irish". but i remember mexican, texmex, cajun, little pizzas, fish and rice, baked potatoes, bread bowls of soup, stir-fry...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:55pm
Matt from New Orleans:

They all became that over the years and that’s why most of them struggled to survive
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:56pm

I had Irish nuns in catechism class. There has always been affinity between the Irish and Mexicans.
