On our way to the restaurant above, we got into a conversation with the cabbie who like I've found most people love to talk about food and what they like to eat. My two friends told him they couldn't keep eating like this and he said, "You just have to get used to it." Then they asked what he had to eat today. He was trimmer than most New Orleanians mind you and he said. "Eggs, coffee, and grits for breakfast, steak for lunch, some crawfish for a midafternoon snack and probably sushi for dinner and then he went off on where he could go for good sushi, "Ninja is really good ..." The fun part is the guys asked what I had done today and I said I went for a run and then Paul asked if I was a runner and I said well yeah, but mostly love doing tris and he asked what I did, so I mentioned a few races. Paul proceeded to say he did Ironman Florida and the New Orleans Halfiron. He talked about a bike shop he and his buddies opened called GNO cyclery with a connecting bar (What a fabulous idea) and I should really check it out. We continued our conversation on great places to swim in New Orleans, etc. until we arrived at Jacque Imos in a way disappointed the conversation had to end. Oh New Orleans you know I love you.
