So now we REALLY know why God sent Katrina to destroy New Orleans. It wasn’t because of Southern Decadence or any other form of partying. It was because of their penchant for shrimp and crawdads…
The India Palace is not new to me. For a time, it was the only place to get Indian cuisine in Greenville. For my last night of bachlorhood while Laura is away, I stopped in and thought it was high time for a review of one of our favorite restaurants.
If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch,
