Of all the different cultures/ethnicities that swirl in our AsianCajun blood, Greek (sadly) is not one of the mix. Our best friend when we were young was Greek Orthodox, so we had our fair share of loukoumades at Greek festivals, but I don’t think that even gets us an honorary membership in the Greek club. I’ve also never fished or actually been to Greece (a girl can dream…), so this hat is a lie. A little lie … a baby lie… all worth it because who doesn’t like a good, jaunty cap perched on their tête, huh?
I’ve eyed these on some lovely Swedish bloggers and wondered where I could nab one. Instead of doing something sensible like search the interwebs, I moaned and complained until I stumbled into a hat shop off Jackson Square in NOLA that sold these.
This man (below) can both fish and read the sign behind him. He wears that hat with a clean conscience. I bet he likes loukoumades too. Swoon.

October 2nd, 2009 at 2:50 amO I could stuff my face all day with loukoumades. Gahhhh! My friend had an obsession with these hats. She called it her train driver hat and went around pretending to pull steam chains and shouting “Choo choO!”

October 2nd, 2009 at 3:08 amThat hat is the bee’s knees. The anchor detail and braiding are key. And don’t listen to everyone, fishing’s totally not overrated; it’s just an excuse to sit in a boat/on the shore and drink beers with your budddies. No one really catches anything anyway…
