Mickey Martin's favorite out-of-town destination: the Caribbean.

My Favorite Things: Mickey Martin

Wine and spirits specialist, LeBlanc’s Food Stores

 

My Fave Things 2-16-MartinBATON ROUGE EXPERIENCE OR ATTRACTION

Tailgating and LSU football. I’m a West Coaster, and nobody can hold a candle to Tiger fans!

PLACE FOR LUNCH

Juban’s

GUILTY PLEASURE

Real, fresh Cali-style sourdough bread…and In n Out Burgers

WAY TO SPEND A SATURDAY MORNING

Projects—my wife Shelli and I have an unending list of projects. But the backyard rocks!

TV SHOW

Right now…Blacklist. All time…Simpsons or Cheers. 24 was cool, too.

WAY TO SPEND $20

Good hunk of cheese and a killer bottle of red (yes, that’s doable for $20).

CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL

Yearbook, because I was able to leave class and go to the beach almost every day “on assignment.”

WAY TO GET MYSELF MOVING IN THE MORNING

Wake up…I’m a ball of energy usually.

CHILDHOOD MEMORY

Camping trips with my family and friends

SONG ON MY IPOD

“Paradise City” by Guns N’ Roses

ITEM IN MY WARDROBE

Flip-flops—it’s rare to find real shoes on my feet outside of work.

BOOK

A Pirate Looks at Fifty by Jimmy Buffett

CONCERT I EVER ATTENDED

Guns N’ Roses and Metallica in San Diego in the ’90s. Close second is any Jimmy Buffett concert…I’ve been to 61 of them!
