Fraunce Hindeman, who was crowned Queen of the Carnival at Mardi Gras back in 1916, makes an appearance. Wyle Saxon, a writer, stops by to chat. Henri Duprez, a well-known Cajun personality, joins in on the fun. And Cesar, a famous chef who also sings while he waits on customers, rounds out the guest list.
