I'll be working. Yet another meet I'll be missing. (Sigh)

 

[Teej]

Can I come?

 

[Teej]

I'll go to Kelvins and drive one of his cars in

Of course. Drive the MCB!

 

[firstnsx]

They got lobster there.
Shouldn't you be on the the International Thread?
By the way sell me your car!

 

[peiserg]

too bad papadeaux isn't very good. I love cajun food.

 

[Teej]

Yeah, while Pappadeaux isn't a 5 star place, there are a LOT of places that are worse that have similar cuisine.

 

[nsxter]

I'm going to try and make it, I'll have to leave work early..

 

[PHOEN$X]

You do not want to drive a nice car like the NSX to Pappadeaux. I had one of my prior cars vandalized while I was there, and the parking can be pretty tight given how popular this restaurant is. If you must bring a nice car, you might want to park at the hotel next door (or at the vacant/formerTGIF building south of the restaurant).

OyATL said Pappadeaux has some of the best crawfish he's had, and given that he's lived in New Orleans and Atlanta, I think that's pretty high praise. If you don't know how to eat crawfish, here's a helpful instructional video:

 

[Teej]

I would like to believe someone will not vandalize a line up of nicer cars as opposed to a single nice car nested in a parking lot with other cars, usually rental cars. That being said, in order to pull this off, you would probably have to make a request that they rope off say... 5 or 6 parking spots with reserved. Restaurants (like hotels and night clubs) love the curb appeal that nice cars bring.

 

[PHOEN$X]

Pappadeaux is one of the busiest restaurants in town (you can expect up to a 2 hour wait during rush hour if you don't have a reservation), and I doubt think they have the staff (or care enough) to handle special parking for high profile guests. You'll see what I mean on your first visit. It's best to leave your nice cars at home. The area around the restaurant (Metro Center) has been in a state of decline for a couple of decades, but sufficient amount of traffic from nearby businesses have managed to keep the restaurant in operation.

 

[Teej]

Yeah I've been to that location before about 6 weeks ago when I was staying in that area. It was crazy busy and that side of the freeway (business district) felt much safer than the Metro Center side for sure.

I thought it was safe too, until someone tried to steal my car and cost me $600 in repairs (to replace a door lock, and fix the door dent). :frown: Thank god it wasn't the NSX.

I mean... you can only be SO SAFE these days.. :biggrin: So that means I cant drive one of your NSX's? j/k

I know what you look like anyway so I dont care what you drive up there in. haha

Where can I find a hot crawfish chick like her? :biggrin:

 

[RedWings]

I am a maybe for dinner.

Have some biz guys in town and tentative plans that may change

 

[OyATL]

Don't forget, dinner is tonight.

Anyone else wants to get crawfish wasted?

 

[Teej]

So do we just walk in and look around until we see people who look like they might drive an NSX or what? :biggrin:

 

[OyATL]

Kelvin reserved the table. Just ask the host where the Kelvin table is. :biggrin:

 

[Ansible]

Have a great time, everyone - hope to see you at a future dinner!

Anyone else's stomach hurt?
