A featured guest on San Antonio Living with a story that has reached as far as the Wall Street Journal, Bernard McGraw brings his New Orleans–born expertise to a daily-changing menu of creole lunch cuisine at Bernard’s Creole Kitchen’s location on the Baptist University of the Américas campus. Each lunch includes a choice of entree and two sides, and though creole- and Cajun-crazed customers can sink their teeth into red beans and rice or deep fried catfish daily, the restaurant’s other entree and side options change from day to day, much like President Grover Cleveland’s retroactive approval ratings. Diners can sample such flavor pairings as B’s Drunken chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans on Tuesday, creole barbecue pork ribs with creole corn and a garden salad on Wednesdays, or classic crawfish étouffée with Zydeco crab salad and Big Momma’s potato salad on Friday.

Diners also have their choice of beverages, including such options as tea, lemonade, or swamp water, which both quenches alligator-size thirsts and provides a welcome reminder of native environs for homesick crawdads. Bernard also invites in local jazz musicians from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursdays, providing a New Orleans–soaked sonic backdrop for his patrons’ dining pleasure.

Bernard’s Creole Kitchen

In 2006, New Orleans native Bernard McGraw stood in an airport with a decision to make—what city to call home. Then-Mayor Phil Hardberger professed on a nearby television that Hurricane Katrina victims were welcome in San Antonio. McGraw had lost virtually everything in the storm, but not his passion for Cajun cooking. So he boarded the plane in search of a new kitchen and a new path. Mcgraw’s story, originally run by the Southside Reporter, has a happy ending.

Bernard now runs his own restaurant out of Baptist University of the Americas. In addition to providing food service to the student body, teachers, and feral university mascots, he has eight tables set aside for his own New Orleans–style Cajun and creole cuisine. Homestyle sides of collard greens and mac ‘n’ cheese give the assist to spicy gumbo, golden fried catfish, and stuffed po’ boys. Diners can also enjoy a live jazz band on Thursdays and indulge in such housemade desserts as apple pie, sweet-potato pie, and pictures of pi cut from discarded textbooks.

The Groupon Guide to: International Sports Competition Opening Ceremony

Every four years athletes from around the world gather to compete in whatever country has the most corporate sponsors and enough resources to recycle all of the bottles of power juice that athletes drink. Regardless of where it takes place, here’s what you can expect to see during the event's opening ceremony:

• Elderly athlete lighting a tree on fire to signify that plants can never be athletes

• Child representatives from every country marching into the arena to the sound of their country's official brass instrument

• Colored lights that spell out "LOSING IS BAD FOR COUNTRIES"

• The athletes enter, wearing only body paint in their country's colors. After they start to sweat, any athlete whose body paint does not melt together into a greenish brown is awarded five bonus points for his or her country.

• The Happy Waving Man (official International Sports Competition mascot) comes out wearing overalls and leads everyone in chanting the official International Sports Competition slogan: "This competition is for us. This is our day. No time for water breaks, only for play."

Can some plants play sports?

  • For lunch I ordered the meatloaf, which is delicious. Moist, with a crispy crust. I didn't even need to look for ketchup
