Is... that a reference to Frankie and Johnny's???
Um... Hello, fellow person who grew up in or around New Orleans in the 1990s. How are things? Where did you wind up after Katrina? I have no idea how to handle someone just randomly referencing commercials I had completely forgotten about.
It is, and the funny thing is, I'm actually Canadian. That commercial used to be on during the Simpsons, it was an affiliate channel they used to broadcast into Canada.
Although I did happen to visit NOLA a couple of years ago for work, and had a great time. I even thought of Frankie and Johnny and was prepared to go, as I figured my sister would get a kick out of a selfie in front of the store. Unfortunately I found out it wasn't there anymore :(

And actually as a correction, I think it was Love Connection and Married with Children when that commercial was on, and not the Simpsons. Regardless, Frankie and Johnny are internationally immortal.
