Battle sighting in the Big Easy

[sdcuseguy]

I’m at a conference in New Orleans and was walking out of a Subway and ran into Tyus Battle. He is here working out for the team and it really seems like he might have a shot to be drafted. He was very gracious and I think his work ethic and demeanor will pay off. Good luck Tyus. He could t stop talking about how much he loved SU which was great to hear.

Hmmm, the Pelicans are clearly thinking of going in a different direction than everyone expects!

Zion or Battle????

That's cool - I have to admit though I laughed when I read New Orleans and Subway in the same sentence.

Not to belabor this, but we have to talk more about why you went to this world-class culinary city and went to a Subway. Was literally every other restaurant in the city closed for some reason?

I hate to pile on, but could we explore this further. Were you in the Subway to eat or just asking for directions or something?

I’m surprised nobody else has asked you this, but why were you in a subway in New Orleans?

[jimsonjunction]

Did someone ask this already? Why were you in a subway in New Orleans???

 

[Ernj]

I don't remember there being a subway. You can't dig underground due to shifting land and it being below sea level. The street cars run on tracks above ground...wait, did you mean Subway sandwiches??? I don't remember seeing one of those either the entire 6 years I lived there cause I ate other places.

Cool that you ran into Battle.

Kind of a Michael Scott from the Office going to Sbarros in NYC moment, for sure.

I will say a five dollar footlong can be clutch every now and then.

Getting him an authentic New York slice.

Wow, there was a huge reaction to my motive for going into a Subway sandwich shop in New Orleans. It's not so dramatic...I was at a conference across the street, was walking to my hotel nearby and wanted to grab a drink quickly. Tyus was walking out and I was walking in. Mystery solved. Maybe you can give Tyus the same crap for doing the same thing. And, YES, foodie freaks, people in a town for a week for work don't always get to go to the amazing restaurants for every meal in New Orleans. While I agree Subway is not Zagat rated, if you have 20 minutes to wolf down food between meetings and it is 10 steps from where you are staying, it is a viable choice. In any event, it would be great to see Battle get drafted.

But did you get the combo deal? Footlong, chips, and drink ain't no joke.

 

[kidorange]

wanted to grab a drink quickly.

So instead of a Hurricane, a Sazerac or a Hand Grenade you opted for a fountain drink?

In NOLA before the LSU game, I was on some random trolly or bus tour thing, through some fancy neighbor hood. Was just blindly following friends, thought it was a ride to another destination. Nope, just a round trip ride checking out houses. No booze.

We passed a subway. Driver stopped to pee, I ran out, ordered a quick Sammy, and thankfully the people on the bus made him wait for me.
Was a great call, set up a fantastic drinking stomach for later


Listen, I'm not much of a foodie. When i travel solo I look for a good local sub place. If I can't find one, jimmy johns delivers, and maaaan if I'm in a town with a blimpies.

 

[rhcuse]

Please tell me you finished that off with a shot of sweet onion sauce.

I know....really! Probably no other places in the downtown area. Besides those Po boys aren't that good anyway.

 

[HOFCeluck]

OP I’ll only make fun of you if you didn’t order a steak sub with chipotle sauce. Cause that right there is legit.

Talk about a wasted airline ticket! Well, it was kinda cool bumping into Tyus.

Okay, since we're confessing things...

I haven't been to Subway in years, but I used to really like those double-chocolate chip cookies they have. Once, maybe 6, perhaps even 7 months ago, I stopped in a Subway just for a cookie. It was good. Really good.

Also, once, I ate at a Pita Pit...………………….in London.

You are lucky if you can even get edible food in London. You can't be held accountable for where you choose to eat in that city.

 

[Orangello]

Did the guy in front of you order 5 footlongs all different then take over 30 minutes to specify all of the various toppings on each one reading off of a crumpled note ? This is why I no longer go there.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Does Subway there sell beer?

It was pretty hilarious.
