Tony Dunbar - Tubby Dubonnet 00.5 - Envision This - Plot & Excerpts
Jason asked Tubby. “Lower end of the scale.” He sized up the menu. “I think I’ll go for the BLT,” which was described as a crispy soft shell crab served with bacon, lettuce and tomato on toast. It came with fries. Tubby Dubonnet, who defined New Orleans food broadly as all of the very tasty food served in New Orleans, really liked the way they served fries. “I’m thinking of going light with the fried oyster salad. Maybe with bleu cheese dressing.” “That’s light, all right. Throw in some matzo ball soup and you’ve got a nice healthy meal.” They were having lunch at Lüke, a restaurant with a German flair. “Yeah, I think I will.” Tubby didn’t comment. His friend needed to gain a few pounds. Jason Boaz was a freelance inventor and looked like it. He was tall and skinny and had a neat black beard that ended in a sort of roguish goatee. That and a receding hairline, curious eyes, bushy black eyebrows, and a disbelieving expression. Tubby, by way of contrast, was a big guy in all respects, still boasting a full head of hair, and he had a guileless countenance that seemed to believe anything anybody said.
