Pig Stand

Back to food again? How many of us have eaten at Belzoni's Pig Stand, that landmark eatery offering bar-b-que and mushy frenchfries? Whenever we headed to Jackson, we had to eat at the Pig Stand. And what was the name of the seafood restaurant at Manchac? Did we go with the New Orleans cousins to eat there? And to go to New Orleans and eat beniets at the Cafe du Monde, or po boys with olive salad at ? where? Central Grocery. And wasn't Uncle Ed's family living above a hardware store on Decatur street when he was born?

Scarlett: Is the Pig Stand still there? And how many of us drank cream from the little glass milk bottles when our parents got coffee? It seems we stopped there more as a break with Mother and Daddy getting coffee and us kids getting Cokes and chips. But we did eat there some. And what was the name of the place besides Cafe du Monde that was known for begniets and cafe au lait? I think it went out of business and Cafe du Monde was the only one left. Don and I took his brother and sister-in-law to Central Grocery for mufalettas once when we were there. They loved it! I know Cafe du Monde is repopened. Is Central Grocery?
