As you probably know, Anthony Bourdain and crew were down here to film an episode of "No Reservations" a while back. Here's a blog entry from one of the show's segment producers, Jared Andrukanis. He was a NOLA resident, and made the mistake of not evacuating on Saturday or Sunday.
Jared pretty much captured what today's NOLAn feels: "These people are not beaten down by what has happened, but focused, ready to keep pressing forward regardless of what has happened. They are looking to the future, to whatever it may hold. And these are the people we spent the week talking to and sharing meals with."
Also: idiotic NOLA bashing in the comments. Where do these mooks come from?
Oh yeah.
Texas.
Cool, I'll be watching. It repeats 10 times so the Lundi Gras airing is for us Northeners.

Man, I just watched a couple of those episodes when they were doing a marathon or something, and I really liked it. I figured his schtick was canned, but he seems like the real deal. I don't eat meat, so he probably wouldn't like me, but I really enjoy watching his show. I just hope he hit the right joints. Can't wait to check it out.

Texas is big and therefore has room to raise all these fuckmook assholes. They have special breeding farms. Thousands and thousands of acres.

Alas, they're ALWAYS from Texas.
We drove across Texas on our way to New Mexico last month, and I was horrified by the overall level of douchiness.
