Camellia Grill blossoms again | Dallas Morning News
David and I ate here for the first time when Joe Millet took the BCP Debate Team there in 1982 or ’83. He told us about how they’d go there in college (Mr. Millett graduated summa from Tulane) and dare each other to eat the Cannibal Salad (containing steak tartare), so, naturally, David had to do it. Some of the best burgers I’ve had.
Then there was the year before, when Mr. Hawkins took us to New Orleans for a tournament, and Phil LeMasters got us all to do the Whip It dance on Bourbon Street. Later that year, he awarded me the Phil the Baptist Award, but I forget for what.
Five years later, He, Mr. Rollins, and myself shared an apartment, where Phil would make bran muffins.
I have no idea how this post turned this weird.
Joe is reportedly teaching at St. Marks (insert yet another debate trip story here). I sent him an email a while back but I must not be important enough to merit a response.
That’s okay, though: the shine off his head now is bright enough to blind low-flying aircraft. Approach with caution…
He is at St. Mark’s…I edited the main post to point to his bio page (and correct the spelling of hsi last name).
