00:00Hi everyone, it's Jen, and this is my boyfriend, Ben.
00:04Hello.
00:04So today, my favorite couple, Anneli and Jesse, are showing me around the Arts District.
00:09And this is your first time, I believe, right?
00:11It is, yeah, it's really cool. Very excited.
00:13So it should be a really epic double date.
00:21Hi! Oh my god, so good to see you guys.
00:25Hello. Oh, hey.
00:26Hey.
00:29We're taking a Wurstkosch.
00:30Wurstkosch? Yeah.
00:31I think it's actually pronounced Wurstkooke.
00:34Wurstkooke.
00:35That sounds good.
00:36I'm assuming this is like a German sausage type vibe?
00:39Absolutely, yeah, with french fries and beer.
00:41Sounds good.
00:49Wow.
00:50Oh my god.
00:51These are so crazy.
00:52Rattlesnake and rabbit, that is not what I'd expect having a sausage.
00:56Yeah, right?
00:57Interesting.
00:58Yeah.
00:58We're going to do the, we're going to get one of the rattlesnakes.
01:00Okay.
01:01We're going to do onions and sweet peppers on there?
01:02Just onions, yeah, that's good.
01:04Yeah.
01:05Yeah.
01:06We'll get one of the Louisiana hotlink.
01:08And the kailbasa.
01:10And then we'll get the, um, beer-wise, I'll go for Coac, please.
01:14Yes.
01:15Mm-hmm.
01:15And then you'll want the chef.
01:18The chef.
01:19The chef.
01:19This is your number.
01:20Go ahead, heads up there, we'll bring it to you.
01:22Thank you very much.
01:32I'm so excited.
01:34Now I'm super, super stoked.
01:36Super stoked.
01:37Super stoked.
01:39Oh, yes.
01:40Oh, yeah.
01:40My food.
01:42Nice.
01:43Mm.
01:44Looks great.
01:45So that's the rattlesnake, right?
01:47Oh yeah.
01:47That's the Louisiana.
01:53Mm-hmm.
01:53This is such a cute little neighborhood.
01:55So cute, right?
01:56Yeah.
01:56How long have you guys been living here?
01:57We've been living here about four years now.
01:59What made you choose this part of the city?
02:01I just kind of heard it was like a really, like, kind of up-and-coming neighborhood.
02:05So when we moved down here, um, it wasn't really like it was now.
02:09It's really changed a lot.
02:10It's got a lot of energy now.
02:11It's really exciting.
02:12So, yeah, we really like living here.
02:14Yeah.
02:14I feel like so inspired by all the murals and stuff.
02:17Yeah.
02:17It's really cool, isn't it?
02:18It's amazing.
02:18It's really cool.
02:19Like, everything is visually, like, pleasing down here.
02:22Mm-hmm.
02:22So other than Wurstkirsch or Wurstkirche.
02:26Very nice.
02:27Yeah?
02:29What other attractions are there around here?
02:31I think the main reason we moved out here was just for it to have, like, a really big space.
02:35Yeah, like a live-work loft.
02:37So most of the buildings around here are live-work lofts.
02:39Oh, cool.
02:40So, yeah.
02:40And everything else kind of in the neighborhood is just like a bonus.
02:42Yeah.
02:43You know?
02:43And it's like, I feel like it's shifting really fast.
02:45Like, super quick.
02:46Yeah, I mean, I remember this whole row didn't exist.
02:49Like, it was Wurstkirche here, and then it was like, kind of like-
02:51A little thrift store.
02:52Yeah, right?
02:53And then that whole apartment complex is completely new.
02:55The red one.
02:56Yeah, it's crazy.
02:57The one Santa Fe.
02:58Yeah.
02:58Yeah, there's gonna be stores underneath that.
03:00Oh, really?
03:01Yeah.
03:02Oh, my God.
03:03More art galleries, more restaurants, more shopping.
03:05Wow.
03:06Cheers!
03:06Cheers!
03:07Woo!
03:08Thank you for having us.
03:16Alright guys, you ready for dessert?
03:18Yeah!
03:18Yeah?
03:19What are we having?
03:19Right across the street.
03:20Oh, awesome!
03:21Yeah.
03:38Can I get a slice of the Mexican chocolate and the Bananas Foster?
03:44I bet you're going to be for here to go.
03:47Oh, yay!
03:48Is that the Bananas?
03:49So, this is Bananas Foster.
03:51Oh, my God!
03:52And Mexican chocolate.
03:53Oh, my God!
03:54This is so good.
03:55How often do you come here, though?
03:56A little too much.
03:58You come straight from the sausages and beer to the-
04:00I'm running a tab inside, actually.
04:02Oh, really?
04:04Oh, my God.
