Texas did away with the last meal several years back when the ringleader of the James Byrd killing did this:

Why Texas Ended Last Meals

The Final Request: In September 2011, white supremacist Lawrence Russell Brewer ordered a massive feast (including two chicken-fried steaks, a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger, a cheese omelet, fried okra, three fajitas, a pound of barbecue, pizza, and ice cream) and completely refused to eat any of it.

Policy Change: Outraged state officials and Senator John Whitmire used the incident to end the 87-year tradition of customized last meals.

Current Rule: Inmates now eat whatever is on the menu for the Huntsville Unit cafeteria on the day of their execution.

The Piggly Wiggly ad reminded me about this place:


Friar Tuck's Chicken, West Monroe, La. 1979

We used to eat there back in the early 80's when I was a kid visiting my aunt and uncle in Calhoun, La. The first, and last, time I had ever eaten a fried biscuit.

Long gone now. Probably due to confusion over how to spell "frair".

Man I would hate to have to make this choice because there's at least one band in every house that I enjoy. I guess it would have to be House 3 though because it has two of my all-time favorites in Pixies and REM (mostly pre-Warner Bros.). House 1 and then House 9 after that.

I wish that were true.
