Memorial Day Barbeque – Not Necessarily The News

With Memorial Day weekend fast approaching, Tootie Landry decided to visit "The Best Stop" so she could get what she needed to have a holiday barbeque in this edition of "Not Necessarily The News."

"Hey! I’m Tootie Landry and this is what I found out today!

As millions across the country prepare their grills for this year’s Memorial Day weekend, I thought this would be a good time to think about what I might barbeque for the family. So I decided to drive on over to the city of Scott and drop by The Best Stop to purchase my meat.

I was met by the manager, Damon, who was kind enough to explain to me all of the different items in their coolers. Of course, they had the usual; rib eyes, stuffed chicken breast, and tenderloin. Ok, folks! I’m part Cajun, but I’ve “never” once thought about buying stuffed beef tongue! He even said folks love to fight over who gets to eat the tip of the tongue. Do these people realize where that tip has been?

They sold packages of liver, intestines, brains and spleens, called Cowboy Stew. My desire to ride a horse has just ended! And a stuffed stomach of a cow…..Rachael Ray can’t even make that taste good! I’m beginning to think someone is performing too many autopsies here! This food is just too weird for me.

And finally, after being so confused about all this bizarre food, I just bought my boudin balls and fried pig skin and headed home!

And I’m Tootie Landry and this is “Not Necessarily the News”!
