PEOPLE & PLACES: ROCKEFELLER’S RESTAURANT
with Shhwana and Sandra
Hey y’all. It’s been a good while since our last article. Sandra became a grandmother last October (her son adopted a chinese, I think). She’s been a busy memaw ever since. Plus I gave birth to a new kid a week or two ago.
To celebrate life, last weekend Sandra and I decided that a night out on the town was in order. GIRLS NIGHT! Y’all, it was so much fun. You wouldn’t believe.
At first we weren’t sure what we felt like eating. Sandra wanted tacos, and to be honest I had a real craving for some Catfish Charlie’s. That’s when I remembered hearing about Ponchatoula’s new Asian-Mexican-Louisiana-fusion restaurant!
The destination: The new and improved Rockefeller’s Restaurant in the heart of Tangi South.
Our lovely waitress, who was probably chinese, took our order. I made sure to pronounce every word slowly and loudly so she could understand.
We started the evening with some Eggrolls ($6.50), Chipotle Shrimp ($8.25), and something that our waitress recommended called Beef Tatonka N****** ($8.25). I was quite appalled by her crude language, but Sandra quickly reminded me that different cultures are offensive because they’re jealous of our freedom.
Our drinks were served in plastic Coke cups, and we were given paper napkins. This made us feel right at home and helped us relax despite all the foreigner waiters and waitress girls running around the place like the opening scene from The Lion King Movie.
Sandra had the Angus Bone-In Ribeye ($29) for her main course. Unfortunately, the restaurant was out of Cane’s sauce so Sandra had to resort to making her own by mixing ketchup with mayonnaise.
I couldn’t decide what to get! So I figured what the heck, I’ll order a few dishes for the table and give whatever I can’t finish to Sparky. I had the Pasta del Mar ($17 — a noodly pasta with real life shrimp), an order of Fish Tacos ($12), and the Spice Girl Sushi Roll ($11.25). What a treat!
We waited for our chinese girl to be out of sight before we headed for the door! Phew! Barely made it!
A little karaoke at the Ponchatoula Pub helped digest all that food!
See y’all round the Parish & God bless,
S&S
