Clover Grill
So I wanted to talk to my two major JKT friends today (yesterayjhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhn
Pardon me, that was a guest appearance by Junior on the keyboard. As I was saying:
(yesterday, now). I called Joel Fletcher from the cemetery, and he was on a train. Later on I went over to Dr. Kenneth Holditch's house and had a cocktail with him and his friend Curt. Joel knew Ken from Ken's teaching days at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now UL-Lafayette), and got to be friends with Thelma Toole after A Confederacy of Dunces was published; he is the author of the excellent memoir Ken & Thelma. Kenneth became a good friend of Thelma's after Confederacy's publication. After our visit, I was hungry, so I stopped by The Clover Grill, where I don't think I've been since I moved out of the French Quarter fifteen years ago. I was never all that crazy about their burgers-cooked-under-a-hubcap, but the one I had tonight was ... well, its being The Clover Grill, I have to say "fabulous." As well, I heard two excellent quotes from a black queen:
"But she liked the Buddha, because the Buddha's feminine and butch at the same time."
and
"I spent $20 on red velvet cake."
