The Banter

The Guys read some fan mail and discuss the reviews a couple of unusual restaurants–would you prefer drawbridges or beds?

The Conversation

The Restaurant Guys welcome Kim Chauvin who tells us all about the American shrimp industry and the superior product of fresh, wild shrimp. She also talks about the hardships of hurricanes and as well as and life in the family business. 

Inside Track

The Guys hit it off with Kim Chauvin and even got invited to her boat blessing! They were impressed with the hearty stock shrimpers are made of, particularly during hurricanes.

 Francis: Your husband stayed on the boat. What is it like to ride out a category five hurricane on a boat? 

Kim: Well, you have to realize it really wasn't a five hitting where we were. 

Francis:  Um, okay. Category three, then. I don't walk outside when it's thundering, okay?
