Hick Diner Off I-10 Between New Orleans/Pensacola

By “Hick”, I mean a diner that makes the one in ‘Becker’ look like the Ritz, one where you get change out of $1 for breakfast, the cashier, cook and server are the same person, a toothless old cretin who stinks of booze and piss, his head is already slumped over his cash till, and who greets us with the words, “What tha fuck you people lookin’ at?”

:slight_smile:

Anyone got any places they know? You can just say your car had a flat and it was the only place to eat…[/quote]

JESUS H. CHRIST! We gotta a Brit that thinks he’s doing the Southern version of meditating at an Ashram on his Indian holiday. Places like this exist in movies so damn Yankees can feel smug.

Down South (and my family got there about 1670) there are poor folks and most of them are like the poor anywhere – hardworking, honest and lead very rough lives. I can tell you right now, there are damn few places like that anywhere in the world because you want a stereotype, not people. There are any number of great places to eat with really nice people, awesome food and totally kick-ass Southern Rock bands on Saturday nights, but would you go?

I suggest a theme park in California is where you will find what you want. There are probably even better ones back in the UK.
