So after escaping the zombies in the small town in Louisiana, we came upon a Popeye's fast food place. Upon going in, I glance at the menu, wince and ask the cashier hesitantly,
"Are the red beans and rice vegetarian?"
"No"
"Uhh...do you have anything vegetarian?"
The cashier paused, then glanced over to her right at the drive-thru lady.
"Do we have anything vegetarian?"
The drive-thru lady also pauses in her activity of putting an order in a to-go bag. She glances back at the manager in the back.
"Do we have anything vegetarian?" She asks.
The manager looks up at me confused. She ponders the menu selections which she knows by heart. Then a lightning bolt hits!
"We can make the red beans and rice without the sausage gravy. That's vegetarian." And now that she has one, she's on a roll. "We also have coleslaw. No? Ok, there are onion rings as well."
My eyes lit up at these, the first option that sounded appetizing. I had Popeye's for lunch that day, and it consisted of an order of onion rings and a fast-food Mississippi Mud Cake. Not an experience I hope to re-create anytime soon.
