Starting the Day at Surrey’s Uptown

I’ve discussed the great breakfasts at Surrey’s Uptown Juice Bar in New Orleans before, but what caught my attention on this particular day was a humorous piece of artwork on the wall depicting a rooster with the legend “9th Ward Poultry” and slogans such as “I’m a bad MF, Ya Heard Me” and “What you lookin’ at, fool?” As it turns out, feral roosters really have been a problem throughout New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina, and particularly in the 9th Ward, so this apparently is the inspiration for this amusing piece of art.
