Coffee and vegans

My morning was spent at the French Truck roastery, sipping excellent coffee and chatting with owner Geoffrey Meeker, as he roasted to fill orders. Smack dab in the middle of our conversation, came a local gal/vegan pusher who is opening a baked fries cafe franchise. Apart from the fact that I don't get the business model of the place, nor the smarts of her intended location ( the new broadmoor development), she intends on serving coffee... with baked fries. Feverishly talking about the need for coffee shops and vegan eateries in New Orleans, it was difficult to discern where any of this plan was headed... She left. My head was spinning. I needed another cup of coffee.
