The lolos, part I


Lolos are casual eateries around the island that serve Creole food with many grilled and seafood dishes. There is a group of them by the waterside in Grand Case. Jack will write about the food we had at Talk of the Town and Sky's the Limit, but I want to recount an entertaining incident we had while walking past one on Wednesday night with our friends Drew and Rachel.
After dinner, we strolled around Grand Case and a gentleman at one of the lolos began to tell us about his menu. After informing him we had eaten, he inquired where we were from. When we told him "Virginia", he launched into a discussion of the Chris Brown-Rihanna incident, becoming so passionate in his vitriol against Chris Brown that a woman at an adjacent lolo asked we wanted to call a taxi. I was impressed with how updated he was with his Hollywood gossip.
