Vote for Louisville!

[Robin Garr]

I must say I'm a bit surprised they could muster this many votes...I had no idea their were that many people in Louisiana who could read, write or operate a computer.

Like I said elsewhere, stop and think ... you're not exactly writing from the literacy capital of the US yourself ...

...But...but...but...Food Dude, I thought it had been acertained in another/previous thread that Louisville has excellent schools.

Ok....so literacy aside, I know we've got 'em beat when it comes to full sets of teeth. I had to take my mom to the Garage Logic Cracker Barrel yesterday and recall being quite impressed that even (most of) the mouth-breathers were sporting full sets of choppers.

White flight. I can't quibble with its effects, but I can look down on the morality that drove it. <shrug>

You were talking about the entire state of Louisiana, though, and I'd counter with the entire state of Kentucky. Which I believe includes Garage Logic and the gang that hangs out drinking beer behind the gas station there.

....DOH !!! My bad. I was inadvertantly comparing apples and oranges. I am forced to admit that ya has a point there Food Dude. Life is so blistful out here in Garage Logic that I often forget there are people in the extreme hinterlands of the region who's idea of entertainment is to sit out on their back porch at night and listen to the Meth Labs blow up.

But I regress...on to this Lafayette thing and the battle of the Foodies. Perhaps, after we stuff the balloot box to the be-Jezz-us, we should just challenge them to a throwdown. We could call it The Thrilla-in-Louie-villa. (BTW, I just copywrited that, so no one else can use it).

this Lafayette thing

I have to confess to a soft spot in my heart for Lafayette's culinary scene, as I spent two hard weeks actually doing the restaurant kitchen thing, after a fashion, working on the line under an older Cajun/African-American chef who could burn a mean roux and ran a tough shop for a large church soup kitchen that both fed the homeless and was open to the general public, and was one of the town's more popular lunch spots. He made me do it to prove I was serious about getting to know them for my program and my book, and I guess I passed. I still remember him fondly, and it was great experience for me on a variety of levels. As a result it's hard for me to be hatin' on Lafayette too much.

Still, their restaurant scene in the early '90s was nothing on Louisville, then or now, and I don't think it's likely that they've caught up with us.

Caught up ? No not very likely...but working in their favor is (from what I've read) Louisiana's second-only-to-Chicago's ability to stuff a ballot box. It would appear they have put this skill to work as they have pulled away from us by another 200 or so votes (13,249-12,678 minus 571)

This thing is rigged we had 19,600 votes an hour ago and now it's down to 12,000.

On Fb someone speculated that they might have a voting bot. Who can write one for us?

Yup, saw that too. I suspect what Leah said...a voting "bot". I'm betting someone is in possession of a few of the Ohio voting machines from the 2004 Presidential election.

Folks- we are in second place now- only 5000 votes behind Lafayette!!! Vote often- we could really win this and get the recognition we deserve!

Restaurants, maybe consider posting something asking customers to vote for Louisville- winning would be really nice press for our Restaurant industry.

Keep voting! We are only down 1356 votes as of 7 am this morning!
