They're calling it Gold Ring Wolden uh Woldenburg Park. So it's a brand new green space on the riverfront. So now there's like like two and a quarter miles of just straight riverfront access.

You can do anything in a public space except for loot axe. Uh loot axe. But it's basically from like the um the aquarium down another like like I said, two and almost two and a half miles of just park and uh, you know, open space and it's it looks really, really, really, really dope. So it's gonna be a really great addition to uh the city and just a tourism attraction too, because you know it's it's great to have these really cool open spaces for people to just explore. And the the the river's as janked as as it is, it's a beautiful thing.

SPEAKER_04 16:36

Like no, what do you mean, Jacket? It's like it's like one of the best the most the reason it's the reason our city was like here, man.

There's a lot of shit happening in this in this great city of New Orleans, Louisiana. Uh, there's a whole bunch of shit. Oh, booze. I mentioned it uh, I don't know if it was last pie or the pie before, about us doing a happy hour somewhere to support somewhere to do, you know what I mean, like something that would benefit that that establishment. And I think I think we should go to Parkview Tavern before they close, because I think they could have a lot of things.

SPEAKER_02 18:17

They only got a few more weeks, like six, seven weeks, maybe six weeks left, I think.

SPEAKER_04 18:23

Six weeks.

SPEAKER_02 18:25

Because it's not even that it doesn't uh they close out before the end of May, I think.

SPEAKER_04 18:29

Oh sad.

SPEAKER_02 18:30

So I know a couple friends that are gonna be out of jobs, and yeah, a lot of community is gonna be out of a a gathering place. And so yeah, we definitely should go see them. Uh, we'll definitely hit you guys up with a date that we're gonna go with.

SPEAKER_04 18:42

We're gonna put together a date. We're gonna do uh a happy hour. So uh with uh um we'll do a happy hour when uh when the time is available and we'll figure out a date. But we gotta support Parkview Tavern. It's right next door to the barbecue joint on uh Carrollton. And uh, you know what? They're going out of business because the barbecue joint uh tried to take over. Well, they took over, they took over and they own it now, and so yada yada. So let's go and support that place. We'll do a little bit of uh happy hour over there.

SPEAKER_02 19:18

Um that's why I said it red pine. I said fuck red pie.

SPEAKER_04 19:26

SPEAKER_04 22:05

Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 22:07

I wasn't judging you. I was just confused. I didn't know. No, it's Hondo. I never heard of it, so I was just trying to get an idea.

SPEAKER_04 22:12

There's a whole bunch of shit. There's a Pontchatula strawberry fish.

SPEAKER_02 22:16

I have had some fun at that festival. Me and my mom's fish.

Yeah, I think one of the last times I went was with my ex-boyfriend. And man, we just cut up. We went with one of our couple friends, and we just cut up like we were 16-year-old teenagers, dude. That makes sense. We were stupid.

SPEAKER_04 23:06

It makes sense though. That's what you're supposed to do at those kind of like a few years. Yeah, it was a lot of fun, man. Just a lot of eating. A lot of people grew up there that you didn't grow up with. You know what I mean? It's like let's just have fun. Yeah, it's like New Orleans, but it's a good time.

SPEAKER_02 23:20

It's got it's gotten a little crazy the past few years. You keep seeing a lot of random things that have happened at the festivals as of late, and you're like, man, good or bad or what? Not good. Not good. Not good. I think it's just been like shootings like the last two years. Really? I think so. Definitely last year.

SPEAKER_04 23:37

Let's not talk about that.

SPEAKER_02 23:38

SPEAKER_02 32:42

We eight months in? Crazy. Oh, anyway, so Miss Bone Fride. Bonafride. Uh they're at Bona Fry truck on Instagram and everything. Um I'm telling y'all, this is hands down one of the best chicken sandwiches you're gonna you're gonna eat, period. They've um I got to sit down with B, who um she and her husband, Steven, um, own the place. They own the food truck. Um, they started out as a pop-up in 2014 and um did the truck for about 10 years, and they finally got the opportunity to do a brick and mortar, and I mean it's it's hella good, dude.

SPEAKER_04 33:17

It's the nice thick it is thick thighs, save lives. If y'all not ready for a real chicken sandwich, don't even go.

SPEAKER_02 33:27

I think they've got six or seven different variations of how they do their chicken sandwiches. So I got a sweet one. Mine's called the special, so it was like a sweet heat. You got the Mac, which was this kind of Ramalade.

SPEAKER_04 33:40

It was a plea, yeah. It's a play on a big Mac sauce. Come on now.

SPEAKER_02 33:43

There's a honey mustard, there's like uh a hot aioli, chili oil one, like hand-cut fries. These are the best hand cut fries I think I've ever had. Like they are seriously phenomenal. They they do it right. Like, you know, when somebody takes the fry and throws it in the oil and that's it. That's not the way to do fresh fries. You gotta do that double fry. And uh I'm I can't they didn't tell me that's how they did it, but I've watched enough food shows and you know, eaten enough French fries in my life to know that you gotta do that double fry. You fry it first for a little bit of time, blanch it, and then you know, and then fry them again, and you get the perfect crispy.

SPEAKER_04 34:24

They were just telling it was hand cut too.

SPEAKER_02 34:26

I'm telling you, they just crunched so perfectly. The only thing I could have had was some malt vinegar. I'd have torn it up with some malt vinegar. Yeah, kind of how I Five Guys is the only place I know that has malt vinegar for their hand, hand cut fries. That's like a UK thing. I'm gonna tell you what though, it is so.

SPEAKER_04 34:47

That was the that was the restaurant, the place I was about to name. I was like, the only other hand cut fries that can fuck with those is five guys.

SPEAKER_02 34:54

And five guys ain't got nothing on bona fry. Nothing, nothing.

SPEAKER_04 34:57

Give it up for bona fry. Yeah, they all gotta get over there.

SPEAKER_02 35:00

I I got like I said, I sat down with B. Um, and I want to go ahead and just roll to her for a few minutes. Um, she just kind of gives us the story of Bonafride, and it it's honestly kind of awesome. So we'll we'll take it away to B.

SPEAKER_04 35:15

Yep, let's go to that interview.

SPEAKER_02 35:17

All right, guys, we are here with B. She is the uh one of the owners of the world-famous Bonafrink.

SPEAKER_00 35:26

Hi! So you started out as a food truck, correct? Yes. We started off as a pop-up while we were building our food truck back in 2014, way before the chicken sandwich wars, way before the Popeye's chicken sandwich, way before any other chicken sandwich businesses were in New Orleans. So we are the OGs of the chicken sandwich game.

SPEAKER_02 35:42

And a true masters of it, I might add. Um, so you did the truck for 12 years.

SPEAKER_00 35:49

Yeah, that's still we we did the truck for about 10 years. We opened, we opened our pop-up in um, oh gosh, probably February of 2014. Then we opened the food truck in February of 2016. And so it took us about 10 years to get the restaurant open. That's amazing.

SPEAKER_02 36:06

And you're here in the Bayou St. John um neighborhood. Oh, yeah, right on Esplanade, right on Washateria.

SPEAKER_00 36:11

Oh, the Shadowia. I've already called it the Shadaria, but it was uh its real name was Flish Flash. Yeah. It was owned by our friend Kevin. And when he knew he wanted to close a laundromat after it being in his family for probably 50 or 60 years, he knew that he wanted to give the building to someone he trusted, and he contacted us and asked us if we wanted to open a bona fride. My husband goes, Oh, isn't that a funny joke? And I was like, I'm not joking. I'm doing it.

SPEAKER_02 36:38

Like, yeah, I'm doing that. That's amazing. Um, it's I mean, well, it's absolutely wonderful. You've just opened within the past two and a half months, right? January 10th.

SPEAKER_00 36:46

Yeah. So this is our third month now. Yeah, April, right? March, April, yeah, three months today. Three months today. Yeah, happy three-month anniversary.

SPEAKER_02 36:55

A whole quarter of a year.

unknown 36:57

We've done it.

SPEAKER_02 36:59

Um, I love it. And it's absolutely wonderful. So you still do the food truck. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 37:02

Um, for festivals, we're bringing it back to uh the streets very soon, but it's just we're in all hands on deck for Jazz Fest right now. Preparations for Jazz Fest and the First. You're right in the middle of Jazz Fest, like we just said. So we are right in the official block for unofficial.

SPEAKER_02 37:18

And you know, Bonafride, and you know, where I work over at Powell's just on the other side. So it's just it's probably one of the most fun neighborhoods for two weeks out of the year, right?

SPEAKER_00 37:29

Oh god. It's I was just talking to someone about it, about how it's such a uniquely New Orleans experience to be in this neighborhood during Jazz Test. I was completely unaware before we before we started coming, and it was just so it's it's magical. There are so many vendors on the streets, there are grass bands playing, they have the porch sessions across the street from Layuz's, and we are right on that exact same walk with them. We did our food truck here last year, and getting to spend that full two weeks on the truck with the people in this neighborhood. It's it's like nothing I've ever done anymore before. And I'm like a Mardi Gras baby. You know, the food truck we're in Mardi Gras constantly. And Mardi Gras is its own unique. It is its beast. And it feels like a little mini Mardi Gras almost.

SPEAKER_02 38:11

It definitely is. People coming from all over out of town, but it's also a very locals experience, and this is a very local neighborhood where people have lived here for generations. And the great thing about this neighborhood is they do, for the most part, really welcome in the newbies. It's been working with arms.

SPEAKER_00 38:26

It really has been. Um there was a little bit of like side-eye for a second because you know the laundromat closed and this was a real resource to the community. But you can't stop somebody from doing what they need to do for their own life and Kevin had to do what he had to do, you know, and he was just he was done. His um well, I shouldn't say that, but uh I understood to say that. Yeah. It was it was his time and he wanted to step back. He's a video game designer. He he inherited this business and he wanted to run it for other folks, but um oh gosh, I keep getting closer and closer to saying this thing. His brother passed away. Okay. And so I just don't want to like talk about his brother passing away without him, you know what I mean. But um, God bless him, keep them. But whenever he decided to close, it was, you know, the the neighborhood missed them. And so there was a little bit of a side-eye being like, hey, like what are you coming into our space a little bit? But as soon as we started to do our outreach, started to meet people, started to bring the truck out for all of these different community events. Open arms. Open arms. Everyone has been so lovely and so wonderful. We have people coming in uh every single week for their weekly bona fride. We live a couple blocks down, and there's this one woman who is like, we call her the Mara Esplanade. She keeps being like, Where is everybody? Where are my neighbors? And she'll fuss at them for not coming.

SPEAKER_02 39:44

Oh look as soon as you as soon as I actually DM'd you about it. Um once Jess Fest is over, you're gonna revamp your hours to um more hours.

SPEAKER_00 39:53

We're gonna be including Wednesday. Okay. We're gonna stay, we're we're gonna listen to what the rest of the neighborhood kind of does and follow form with them. So our hours are gonna be very similar to like Cafe des Gains and Wayuza's. We're gonna do Wednesday through Sunday. I'm still debating on whether or not doing a Wednesday lunch is gonna be the right move or not, but we'll definitely be open Wednesday evenings for sure. So let me know if y'all want a Wednesday day, if y'all are gonna come out for lunch.

SPEAKER_02 40:17

Yeah, heard it here, guys. So please come out uh visit B and her husband, I believe. Steven. Um come see them and patronize burnofied. It's absolutely the best chicken sandwich you're gonna find in the city. Thank you. Well, thank you so much, B. I really appreciate taking I appreciate you taking the time with us. It's no problem. Feeding us to the point of combustibility.

SPEAKER_00 40:38

And you got that lavender lemonade. I do. Let's talk about it. It's so good. I'm obsessed with it. I I'm a real lavender lemonade kind of girl. I feel like it's the most sapphic drink in the world. Could be more sappho than that. But um, I uh we're trying to figure out what our signature cocktail is gonna be still, because we have our liquor license now and we're playing with some things, and I'm leaning hard into that lemonade. You should because it is. You definitely should. But we're talking about a blackberry lemonade as well for Japanese. Could you just just just uh you know change the fruit for the season? Yeah, yeah, because that blackberry is so good too, and it's a little less divisive because some people don't like the floral of lavender, and blackberry is just universal. Like, it's a little like what is this? What am I tasting? It's delicious, but what berry is this? So we're probably gonna do a blackberry lemonade for that. I can't talk about it. I can't wait. Yeah, especially with our Fest After Dark collaboration that's coming up. Yeah. Oh, I can't wait.

SPEAKER_02 41:33

Yeah, so we got some ticket giveaways. Oh my goodness. Well, I can't wait. Everybody, pay attention. Come visit and uh follow Bonafride.

And they have a festival for it, but all of the I think all of the uh the tours are sold out. So if you go up there, like what kind of birds? All of the birds that migrate from South to North, North America, South America, the the great flights.

SPEAKER_02 49:48

Like the hummingbirds are around right now too. They make a hella journey.

SPEAKER_04 49:52

They make a so they they they've been studying this shit for years, and like apparently grand all has been smart enough to build the festival around it because I guess they land right on that yeah, the tip. I think there's time to stop though. If you've been flying for that long, like right at the tip of Louisiana, yeah. Get all those fresh shallow fish, too. So I I get it. Um, but there's a big bird migration thing that's happening. If you're lucky enough, it's not this weekend. It's not this weekend.

SPEAKER_02 50:24

Grand Isle is trip.

SPEAKER_04 50:26

SPEAKER_02 50:27

That place is wild. It's it's like lawlessness down there.

SPEAKER_04 50:31

Oh, really? I think the first one I went was uh what was it? Was it was it cutoff or I think I went to cutoff and cutoff ain't that bad compared to Grand Isle, like I mean in the terms of distance.

SPEAKER_02 50:43

Grand Isle is literally the end of the earth for Louisiana. It's the end of the earth.

SPEAKER_04 50:48

Well, that's happening uh April 25th and 26th. So give it up for uh Grand Isle. If y'all interested in that kind of shit, like if y'all want to watch bird, if y'all love birders, take a drink. Y'all wanna uh be a birder and go and watch that shit. Um but April 25th, 26th, y'all go out there and check it out. Um I'm sure it's a great time. If I'm if I if I find time, I might drive down. Uh I'm not.

Masters weekend is the number one weekend for vasectomies in the United States.

SPEAKER_04 53:19

Hey, why is that? What's the deal?

SPEAKER_02 53:20

Because they can just sit there in Ice There Balls and watch golf all day.

We just bullshitting, we just talking. Just hanging out with y'all. Um we appreciate y'all. So, uh with the masters, uh, I have a really funny story, man. One time I was uh I was trying it out, like just trying to get acquainted with golfing. And uh I didn't know that the word I thought four was something that you just say when you play every time you hit the ball. That's not every time you hit the ball that you say four. It's only when your ball that you hit goes into a dangerous area where there's other people that may be in in range of yeah, in range of getting hit by your ball that you just hit. So you yell four so everybody can like be a be aware that there's an incoming ball from I don't know where. No. If you yell five, you'll get looked at uh whatever, booze. Did I fall for that? Um no, you yell for you yell four, and uh you shoot three. You write down two though. Y'all will get that later. Hey, you are listening to the best podcast. Uh shout out to the man uh the masters though. Um I'm hoping that uh I'm hoping it all worked out for Rory and uh whoever else that gave it a good shot. What up, boozy? You look tired. What's up, man?
