“There was this beer sop Meskin food place called Shanghai Jimmy’s, and if we didn’t eat there two night a week our faces would break out…” said Sherrod.

Editor’s note: This post is from the ‘before-times.’ Orange Store is now a head shop that sells giant bluetooth speakers and dabbles in nearly-inedible po boys.

I was trying to save this report for much later in my 500 po boys series.
It’s ungodly how much bacon we eat at the Scrumptious house. We’ve been on a pork belly-curing tear for the last few months, and not coincidentally have been cooking and eating rashers of bacon on a daily basis.
