Jon-Jon's Southern Style Cuisine on Post (El Dorado).
Jon-Jon's appropriately hunkers under a gold bank building.

A Louisiana boy describes Jon-Jon's as akin to walking into a time warp with transportation services to a bona fide Southern rib joint.

An anonymous soul overheard the following in Jon-Jon's,
"the guy behind the counter was talking about a "House of Blues" coming to the neighborhood and speculating that it might cut into business. I assumed he meant a franchise of L.A.'s "House of Blues," which is owned by Dan Akroyd or something like that. He seemed to be grumbling about the City Council or redevelopment agency . . . wanting to give preferential treatment, and getting on his case because Jon Jon's has a BBQ smoking behind the building."

Update: Jon-Jon's is long gone-gone now. Another local business on the barbie.

Faint music is heard on El Dorado St. . . . spirts guffawing.
