MOTHERS, THE PLACE FOR BREAKFAST WHEN IN NEW ORLEANS. THERE ARE PHOTOS OF SOME PRETTY HEAVY HITTERS THAT HAVE STOPPED IN OVER THE YEARS THAT ADORN ALMOST EVERY AVAILABLE SPACE.


THIS IS THE INSIDE OF MOTHERS. THE LINE STARTS BEHIND THE GUY IN THE FOREGROUND'S RIGHT SHOULDER. YOU MOVE ALONG THE COUNTER UNTIL ARETHA FRANKLIN HAS THE TIME TO TAKE YOUR ORDER. YOU THEN MOVE ALONG THE COUNTER AND PAY AT THE REGISTER - OR - YOU ORDER YOUR BLOODY MARY THEN PAY AT THE REGISTER.


MY PARTNER FOR BREAKFAST. ANGEL IS A MOTHER OF 3 AND WORKS FOR THE STATE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES IN LOUISIANA. SHE WILL BE RETIRING IN 3 YEARS WITH 30 YEARS OF SERVICE.
I THINK SHE STARTED WHEN SHE WAS 9. SHE IS A GRANDMOTHER. MY GRANDMOTHER NEVER LOOKED
LIKE HER. WE ARGUED OVER WHO HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GRANDBABY EVER BORN IN HUMAN
HISTORY.


I THOUGHT THIS WAS ONE HELL OF A WAY TO MAKE A POINT. I DON'T KNOW WHO THE NUN IS,
BUT SHE SURE HAS AN INFLUENCE. I JUST KNOW THAT BEHIND THAT SMILING FACE THERE IS A
WOMAN WHO WILL KILL YOU IF SHE FINDS YOU TIPPING THE STAFF.
