NOLA Eerie Nights

April 6, 2020 by chito

New Orleans's famous French Quarter is eerily quiet these days. Normally, there would be bar hoppers and revelers living it up until the wee hours of the morning. But now with the coronavirus raging and the daily curfews, the city is shut down and Bourbon Street raucous atmosphere is understandably benign. Not a soul on Bourbon Street, not even a discarded … [Read more...] about NOLA Eerie Nights

Crazy Bout Crawfish in Breaux Bridge

February 22, 2020 by chito

I'm typically not a huge fan of Cajun crawfish. The first time I experienced a boil, I got more juice and organs on my garment than inside my gut. So muddy and soaked was I that I had to head to the nearest truck stop and take a long, hot shower to wash all the swamp guts off. Since I was making a quick stop in Breaux Bridge for lunch, and since it's Mardi Gras season, I had … [Read more...] about Crazy Bout Crawfish in Breaux Bridge

Pascagoula Blues

February 20, 2020 by chito

I made it to the Pilot just in time to nab a parking spot before my time expired, and then to the Hacienda, to nab a stool by the bar just in time for Happy Hour. I ordered a classic Margarita on the rocks and told my pretty bartender to double up on the tequila & triple sec. There were a few people at the bar, enjoying their tacos and tasties, conversing alongside the … [Read more...] about Pascagoula Blues

Sex Dungeon on Bourbon St

November 21, 2019 by chito

It's dark , skanky and tight, but revelers flock there like it's their calling. Unlike most of Bourbon Street, they don't play juke, jazz or anything soft. It's only head banging heavy metal. Judas Priest and Black Sabbath are worshipped here. I enter through a long, narrow alley, so close to each side, I could sense the breath of the cold brick walls and the musty … [Read more...] about Sex Dungeon on Bourbon St

The Bayou

November 13, 2019 by chito

Driving over the Atchafalaya Bay Bridge, better known as the 18.5-mile bridge can take an eternity. More so for big rigs who are limited to 55 mph. Imagine someone suffering from gephyrophobia - fear of driving over a bridge. And you wouldn't want to crash here. All those alligators sunning menacingly in the the mud, many more underwater, but you would see them poke their … [Read more...] about The Bayou

After I retired from the Navy, I attended George Washington University to earn my MBA. I left with a diploma, and with a food tech startup called RUNINOut. Our goal was to add as many restaurants, stores and attractions to the directory and after running it for five years, I felt I had oversaturated the local Washington, DC market. It was time to take RUNINOut on the road. In order for my startup to grow, I had to add more restaurants – that meant getting outside the Beltway and exploring the highways and byways in small town suburbia. I bought a truck and drove cross-country for two years. Here's my adventures in the Washington, DC area and beyond.
