Despite having my fair share of crazy landlords (507 Glenrock landlord: gave us a fake name, stole plants from across the street) , new landlord threw me for a loop. He is mild mannered and messy and looks like he hasn't bought a new tie since the reagan era. BUT he is a carnaval-head. Which is to say, he travels (a lot) to south american and carribean carnaval parties. His whole office is covered in carnaval posters and he received a call right in the middle of my visit where he described what a "fantastic time" he had when "a very popular band called the Black Eyed Peas" played in Brazil.
From there my sister and I drove around the city where my wildest dreams came true. I FINALLY got to go to Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co. For all of you haters out there (Alice Chen), I will go on the record and say that BGS Co. has the BEST friend shrimp I've ever had.
Did the whole place smell like a damp rag? YES. Were my fries stale and cold? SURE. Was the staff more interested in dating eachother than anything else? UH-HUH. But the plump little shrimps were perfectly battered and fried to golden perfection. So mama was happy.
Karla had New Orleans flavored. No not death and destruction flavored! With creole spices, silly!
PLUS they had this!
We ate our weight in shrimp and then rolled on home. I bid Karla farewell and dropped her off at the airport.
