¡The Mama Roux Boogaloo!

Our Hudson Valley pal DJ Pete Pop continues to swing every Sunday at Mama Roux for his Funky Brunch—now called Funky Broadway Brunch because, after all, Mama Roux is on Broadway in Newburgh. He works the event by himself, but once in a while he has a guest DJ. Once in a while that guest DJ has been Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus. On Sunday May 15, it was again.

The Boog enjoys spinning records for the Mama Roux patrons—they bop their heads as they nosh on their meals, then they look up and smile at the DJs and often leave nice tips in the tip jar. Spinning records for appreciative folks is a reward in itself.

The Boogaloo Bag has mentioned before that the food is good at Mama’s. Although The Boogaloo Bag writers are not foodies, they can still attest to the fact that the excellent chefs at Mama Roux whip up some super delicious food. On this day we were able to partake of some excellent quiche, a rice thing and something that involved chicken; a French food term may have been used. The Boog and his co-horts don’t care about any of that. The food is GOOOOOD! That’s what’s happening, baby!

Broadway gone funky! You can see the majestic Hudson River from the sidewalk in front of Mama Roux’s.

Also, the music was fabulous. DJ Pete Pop played some outstanding numbers, and while he consorted with the locals, Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus played these hot jams:
