Delicious Fat and Joe


Here is a more editorial type of photo taken at the Cafe Du Monde this spring. My wife and I stopped into this long standing New Orleans eatery for a couple of their famous Beignets, a cup of hot Chicory coffee and some memories right around midnight. They have been serving these most tasty, squarish, powdered doughnuts and a very small compliment of drink choices 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas since 1862.

That night it was a fun and interesting experience watching the numerous wait staff circle around the tables in a flurry mixed with what seemed to be sudden and frequent extended cigarette breaks on the row of benches right outside (outside the outside dining that is). There is another photo of this activity coming sometime later in the future perhaps.

In this exposure, I set up the camera balanced on top of our napkin holder and made some shots of the lull in the crowd after some customers had headed out into the night. Here is a link to this
wonderful little spot in the culinary world. http://www.cafedumonde.com/
