Hi All,
Long time lurker and occasional poster in ABF and AFB. It's been
over 6 months since the media started to bore everyone with our
problems, but finally some good news from Louisiana, "Que'in on the
Red". I've never been to any kind of food festival, which we have
many of here in Louisiana, so this is going to be my first.
Alexandria is about 200 miles away, I am near Houma and am leaving
EARLY on the 25th. If anyone is near Houma or New Orleans and wants
a ride, we'll take my truck, I smoke, so my truck. Any worth while
pictures will be posted to ABF upon return if there are no
objections.

I found Que'in on the Red while looking for some streaming AM radio
stations, KSYL am 970 - http://www.ksyl.com/

I had to dig around to find all of the details, but if interested,
here it is

A BBQ festival in Louisana would be different. They had these big
crawfish boil type festivals around Slidell when I lived there, but not
much barbecue. The one good barbecue restaurant went out of business
while I was there too.

You're right, it would be different. You name it, we've got a
festival for it, except barbecue. We've got festivals for gumbo,
jambalaya, catfish, crawfish, shrimp and petroleum, strawberries,
wine, omlettes, ducks, frogs, rice, crabs, peaches, pecans,
sugarcane, oranges, Tabasco, Jazz and Mardi Gras, but not much for
smoked meat.

Uhm...there's a large KCBS-sanctioned barbecue festival in Hammond at
the end of this month. I went to it, last year, and it's scheduled again
for this year. Does that count?
